Getting Started: First Time Use

First Time Power On

Press and hold the Power/Enter button for three seconds to power on the inReach. The first time you turn on
the device it will prompt you to activate it by creating a service account (see figure 1). Tracertrak inReach devices
are shipped pre-activated, so all you need to do is select the 'Activate' option and navigate through the
remaining screens.

The inReach needs a clear view of the sky to get a good satellite signal and complete the setup process. Go
outside and stand in an open area away from tall buildings and trees.
