NOTE: It may take up to 20 minutes to activate your device.

The device must send and receive several messages, which

takes longer than sending a single message during regular

use.

Iridium Satellite Network

Your device requires a clear view of the sky to transmit

messages and track points over the Iridium satellite network.

Without a clear view of the sky, your device attempts to send the

information until it acquires satellite signals.

TIP: For the best connection with satellites, attach the device to

a backpack or to your upper body.

Bluetooth Connected Features

Your device has several Bluetooth connected features for your

compatible smartphone or mobile device using the Earthmate

app. The Earthmate app allows you to use inReach features on

the larger, higher resolution touchscreen on your mobile device.

Downloadable Features: View downloaded maps, aerial

imagery, USGS quadrangle maps, and NOAA nautical charts

on your mobile device. You should download maps and

charts before going on your trip.

Messages: Allows you to read and write messages, and access

the contacts list on your mobile device. Messages appear on

both devices.

NOTE: You can have only one mobile device paired with your

inReach device at a time.

Pairing Your Mobile Device

You must pair your inReach device with your mobile device to

use Bluetooth features.

From the app store on your mobile device, install and open

the Earthmate app.

Place the inReach device and your mobile device within 3 m

(10 ft.) of each other.

On the inReach device, select Settings > Bluetooth > Pair

Device > Pair Device.

Follow the instructions in the Earthmate app to complete the

pairing and setup process.

After the devices are paired, they connect automatically when

they are turned on and within range.

Testing the Device

You should test the device outdoors before using it on a trip to

ensure your satellite subscription is active.

Select Test > Test.

Wait while the device sends a test message. When you

receive a confirmation message, your device is ready to use.

Messages

Your inReach device sends and receives text messages using

the Iridium satellite network. You can send messages to an SMS

phone number, an email address, or another inReach device.

Each message you send includes your location details.

Checking for Messages

Your device listens for new messages at regular listen intervals.

Satellites announce recently sent messages, and your device

receives the message at the next listen interval. The default

interval is 10 minutes.

NOTE: Your device must be in view of a satellite at the time of

the listen to receive messages.

You can force a check for messages by manually checking for

messages, sending a message, or sending a track point. During

a check, your device connects to satellites and receives

messages waiting to be sent to your device.

TIP: You can adjust the listen interval to maximize battery life

(Messages Settings, page 6).

Select Check > Check Now.
