• Quick Start Guide

Step One: Set up your service account.

Your inReach SE requires a service account to send and receive messages, much like a mobile phone plan. Set up your service account by visiting our website:

• Go online from your computer to explore.delorme.com.

• You will be prompted for your IMEI number and Authorization Code; ﬁnd these in the Setup Wizard on the inReach SE device.

During the account setup process, you’ll choose your inReach service plan, enter your payment information, add your emergency cont acts, and enter the contact details that will be used if your inReach goes into SOS emergency mode.

Use the DeLorme Explore website to add contac ts to your device by selecting the Contacts tab on the website.

Create some commonly used text messages that will be stored in your device by selecting the Messages tab and editing the Quick

Text Messages.

Write special Preset Messages that you think you’ll use often, i.e. “Just arrived and doing well” or “Leaving now for my next destination”. Next, select a group of recipients for the messages. You’ll use these Preset Messages to check in or let friends and family k now that all is well.

Step Two: Power on your device.

Turn your inReach SE on by holding down the power button. When the device is on, the screen will display a welcome message and the star t of the setup process.

Follow the on-screen instructions to continue the setup process.

Step Three: Check your connection.

The inReach SE needs a clear satellite signal from the sk y to complete the setup process. Go outside and stand in an open area away from tall buildings and trees.

When you set up your ser vice account, DeLorme sent you a welcome message for testing your inReach. During the activation process, your inReach will ask you if you’re ready to receive this message. When you have a clear satellite signal, press enter. To read your welcome message, select Messages from the device’s home page and choose the new message from DeLorme.

While the inReach SE works as a standalone device, you have the option of using your inReach SE in conjunction with your mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet through a process called pairing. If you choose to pair your devices, you will have increased functionality including mapping and your mobile device's contacts list. To use them together, you’ll need to:

• Download the free Earthmate™ app.

• Pair your inReach to your mobile device.

Download the Earthmate app by visiting the app store with your mobile device. The Earthmate app is

available from the App StoreSM and Google Play.

Note: Your Android mobile device must have 2.2 or later ﬁrmware. Your Apple mobile device must have iOS

5.0 or later.

Step Five: Pair your inReach to your mobile device.

To pair your inReach with your mobile device, go to Settings on your inReach select Bluetooth and then Pair inReach. Follow the instructions on the inReach to pair.

On your mobile device, turn on Bluetooth. Select the inReach SE from the list of available devices on your Bluetooth menu. The devices must be within Bluetooth range to pair with each other.

Your inReach will notify you when it has successfully paired with your mobile device. You only need to pair the devices once; from then on, the devices will communicate with each other anytime they are both turned on and Bluetooth is active.

Enter your inReach account information into the Earthmate app to sync with the DeLorme website when you have a data connection.

Step Six: Add your contacts.

Your inReach will have the information for any contacts you added at DeLorme’s Explore website.

1. From your mobile device, open the Earthmate app.

2. For iOS devices select Options then Account & Sync. For Android devices select Menu then Settings and Account.

3. Make sure you’ve entered your email address and your Explore website password.

4. Select Sync.

All of your Explore site contacts will now appear in the Earthmate app contact list.

Step Seven: Begin using your device.

• You can now use your inReach device to track your location, send and receive messages, and share your trip through text messages and social media.

• Social Media: Let your friends and family see your progress and updates on Facebook and Twitter. If you didn’t already link your Facebook and Twitter accounts during the setup process on the DeLorme Explore website, do so now by logging into your Explore account via a computer or tablet. Select Social and enter your usernames and passwords for your social media. You will now be able to send updates through your inReach device.
