Activating the Device

Before you can use your inReach® device, you must activate it.

  1. Create an account, and select a satellite subscription at inreach.garmin.com.
  2. Turn on the device.
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
  4. When prompted, go outdoors to an open area with a clear view of the sky.
  5. 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.
