To avoid triggering a false alarm, make sure your SOS slider is locked. Slide left to unlock and slide right
until you HEAR IT CLICK to lock it! If you do not HEAR IT CLICK, then the SOS is not locked.
SOS Button - Press and hold the SOS button for three seconds to send a “distress” message to emergency
response. If SOS is no longer needed, press and hold the SOS button for 5 seconds to send a “cancel SOS”
message to emergency response.
See the Familiarize Yourself With Functionality section for more details on the SOS features of inReach.
Activating inReach Explorer
Step One: Power on your device
Turn your inReach Explorer on by holding down the Power button until the Power On screen displays. Press the
Left Arrow and then Enter. The screen displays a welcome message and begins the setup process.
Follow the on-screen instructions to continue the setup process.
Step Two: Set up your airtime plan and Explore account
Your inReach Explorer requires a satellite airtime plan and an online Explore account to send and receive
messages, much like a mobile phone plan (Note: Your inReach Explorer GPS features will not work without a
satellite airtime plan). The inReach uses Iridium's satellite network to track, share information, and send and
receive messages. To choose your plan and set up your account, use the DeLorme Explore website:
Go online from your computer to explore.delorme.com and click Get Started then follow the instructions to
create a new account.
The Explore website prompts you for your IMEI number and Authorization Code; find these in the Setup Wizard
on the inReach Explorer device.
During the online account setup process, choose your inReach service plan, enter your payment information
and contact details, and add your emergency contacts that will be used if your inReach Explorer is placed into
SOS mode.
Add contacts to your device by selecting the Contacts tab.
Link your Twitter and Facebook accounts to share messages with your friends by selecting the Social
tab.
Set up your MapShare web page to let others follow your trip and send you messages on your inReach
Explorer by adjusting the MapShare options on the Social tab.
Create some commonly used text messages that are stored in your device, e.g. “Busy, will reply later!”
Select the Messages tab and edit the Quick Text Messages.
Write special Preset Messages that you think you’ll use often, e.g. “Just arrived and doing well” or
“Leaving now for my next destination.” Select the Messages tab and edit the Preset Messages. Specify a
group of recipients to whom you’ll send regular updates in the form of Preset Messages.
Step Three: Check your connection
The inReach Explorer needs a clear satellite signal from the sky to complete the setup process. Go outside and
stand in an open area away from tall buildings, roof overhangs, and trees.
