Batteries
The battery compartment is on the bottom of the
inReach. Inside the battery compartment, you'll find a
label with your device's IMEI number and authorization
code; you'll need this when you activate your inReach at
explore.delorme.com.
Two AA batteries are required for use. You can use
lithium, alkaline, or NiMH batteries. The default battery
profile setting is for lithium batteries, which provide the
best performance.
If you are not using lithium batteries, you should change the
battery profile to ensure battery performance is correctly
calculated. For more information, see the inReach User
Manual at manuals.delorme.com.
To insert the batteries
Remove the cover, insert two AA batteries according to
the polarity symbols, and then replace the cover.
Set up Your inReach Account
Create account and activate the inReach
Before you start using the inReach, you must set up an
account at explore.delorme.com. During the account
setup process, you will choose your inReach service plan
and add information about your emergency contacts.
Once you log in to your account, you should add your
personal contacts to the Address Book and customize
the predefined inReach messages in the Message Book
so you can better use the inReach in standalone mode.
Click the Help link at the top of explore.delorme.com for
help with using the website.
If you will be using the inReach with a smartphone or
mobile device, you must download the Earthmate app for
your device. See page 6 for more information about
the Earthmate app.
Satellite Reception
The inReach needs a clear view of the sky to acquire a
GPS fix and transmit your messages over the Iridium
satellite network. This process should take less than one
minute, but it could take more time if the line of sight is
obstructed.
For the best reception when wearing the inReach, attach
it to a backpack strap on your upper body or place it in a
pocket at the top of a backpack. If you attach the pack
clip to your belt, some of the signal may be blocked by
your body and could prevent proper transmission of
messages and tracking points.
