Activating the Device

WARNING

Before you can use the inReach features of your Montana 700i/750i device, you must activate it (inReach Features).

  1. Create an account, and select a satellite subscription at explore.Garmin.com.
  2. Turn on the device.
  3. Select Next.
  4. 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.

  5. 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.
  6. 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.
