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 contacts,
and enter the contact details that will be used if your inReach goes
into SOS emergency mode.
Use the DeLorme Explore website to add contacts 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.
