Activating the Device
WARNING
Before you can use the inReach features of your Montana 700i/750i device, you must activate it (inReach Features).
- Create an account, and select a satellite subscription at explore.Garmin.com.
- Turn on the device.
- Select Next.
- Follow the on-screen instructions.
NOTE: You must enter the device IMEI number and authorization code to complete the online portion of activation before you go outdoors.
- Go outdoors to an open area with a clear view of the sky, and point the antenna on the device toward the sky for optimal performance.
- Wait while the device communicates with the Iridium satellite network.
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. You should remain outdoors until activation completes.
