The Reverse Charging feature allows you to charge other devices with your inReach® satellite communicator.

  1. From the home page, press Left arrow or Right arrow to scroll through the main menu options.
  2. Select Settings > System > Reverse Charging.
  3. Use the toggle switch to turn on Reverse Charging.
  4. Select an option:

    • To charge another device only, and not transmit (send or receive) any messages while charging, select Charge Only.

    • To charge another device, pause charging whenever the inReach satellite communicator is transmitting messages, and resume charging when transmission is complete, select Charge and Send.

  5. Connect the inReach satellite communicator to the device you want to charge using a USB cable.

    The Reverse Charging feature stays on for a maximum of 15 minutes before turning off automatically.
