Activating your inReach SE
You must activate your inReach directly with DeLorme using the
DeLorme Activation Por tal and DeLorme Airtime Plans. Use of
this device is governed by the Terms and Conditions outlined at
files.delorme.com/support/inreachwebdocs/TC_inReach_
Consumer_US.pdf.
If you do not agree to these Terms and Conditions, please return the
inReach to the place of purchase or contact DeLorme Customer Care
directly at contact.delorme.com.
Step One: Power on your device.
Turn your inReach SE on by holding down the power button until the
Power On screen displays. Press the Left Arrow and then Enter. The
screen will display a welcome message and begin the setup process.
Follow the on-screen instructions to continue the setup process.
Step Two: Set up your airtime plan and
Explore account.
Your inReach SE requires a satellite airtime plan and an online
Explore account to send and receive messages, much like a mobile
phone plan. inReach uses Iridium's satellite network to track, share
information, and send and receive messages. To choose your plan
and set up your account, use the DeLorme Explore website:
• Go online from your computer to explore.delorme.com and
follow the instructions.
• You will be prompted for your IMEI number and Authorization
Code; find these in the Setup Wizard on the inReach SE device.
During the online account setup process, you'll choose your inReach
service plan, enter your payment information and contact details,
and add your emergency contacts that will be used if your inReach
SE is placed into SOS mode.
During the setup process you should also add the following details to
prepare your inReach SE:
• Add contacts to your device by selecting the Contacts tab.
• Link your Twitter and Facebook accounts to share messages
with your friends. Set up your MapShare web page to let others
follow your trip and send you messages on your inReach SE.
• Create some commonly used text messages that will be
stored in your device, e.g. “Busy, will reply later!” Select the
Messages tab and edit the Quick Text Messages.
• Write special Preset Messages that you think you’ll use often,
e.g. “Just arrived and doing well” or “Leaving now for my nex t
destination.” Select the Messages tab and edit the Preset
Messages. Specif y a group of recipients to whom you’ll send
your regular updates.
Preset Messages let you send a message you created ahead of
time to a list of people you specified when creating the preset. You
can send this message with just a few button presses. A Quick Text
Message is a message you know you’ll use often when replying to
or sending messages, and you don’t want to t ype it each time. Send
it with just a few button presses.
Step Three: Check your connection.
inReach SE needs a clear satellite signal from the sky to complete
the setup process. Go outside and stand in an open area away from
tall buildings, roof overhangs and trees.
When you set up your Explore account, DeLorme sent you a welcome
message for testing your inReach. Your device will receive this
message during the activation process. When you have a clear view
of the sk y, press Enter to activate and receive your message.
5inReach SE Quick Start Guide
The activation process could take up to 20 minutes.
Activation of your inReach with the Iridium satellite net work
is a one-time step that uses a different process than standard
inReach functions. Please be patient while your inReach
communicates with the Iridium network for the first time.
To read your welcome message, select Messages from the device's
Home page and choose the new message from DeLorme.
Send a test reply to DeLorme. You are allowed five free test
messages per month. Select Type Reply, and then t ype a message
using the on-screen keyboard. Press Send. DeLorme will send you an
automatic reply when your message is received.
Your inReach SE will listen for waiting messages every 20 minutes
by default. Use the Check page and press Check Now to look for
the reply from DeLorme. Use the Check Now feature if you are only
turning inReach SE on briefly to check for messages before powering
off again.

and accurate location information.
Messages Waiting – The number nex t to the envelope icon and
the Messages page icon tells you how many unread messages are
waiting.
Bluetooth – The Bluetooth icon appears when Bluetooth is turned
on. The icon is highlighted when a mobile device is connected to your
inReach.

external power and charging. A percentage appears to tell you how

is replaced with a plug icon to indicate the device is running from
external power.
Tracking – A checkmark appears on the Tracking page icon when
the device is actively sending location updates to the Explore
website.

Setting up your inReach SE
Sync your inReach SE.
After activating your inReach SE, set up the device with the
information you will need while on your trip. During the activation
process on the Explore website, you should have created your
Contacts, Preset and Quick Text Messages, and set up your Social
Media links. You can return to the Explore website at any time to
change or update this information.
Once you’ve made sure all of your Contacts, Preset Messages, and
Quick Text Messages have been created, and your Social Media
accounts have been connected, sync your inReach SE with your
Explore account. Connect your inReach to your computer using your
micro- USB cable. Go to the Sync tab in your online Explore account,
and follow the directions on that page to add all of your information
to the device.
