inReach SOS Calls

Before you can use the SOS function, you must have an active satellite subscription on the connected inReach
device. Always test your device before you use it outdoors.
Ensure the inReach device has a clear view of the sky when using the SOS function, because this feature
requires satellite access to operate properly.
Some jurisdictions regulate or prohibit the use of satellite communications devices. It is the responsibility of the
user to know and follow all applicable laws in the jurisdictions where the device is intended to be used.
When a compatible inReach device is paired to the chartplotter, you can contact the Garmin Response
to request help. From the chartplotter, you can initiate, cancel, and monitor the status of an inReach SOS call, as
well as communicate with the Garmin Response team while you wait for help to arrive.
You should only use the SOS function in a real emergency situation.

Sending an inReach SOS Call

You must pair a compatible inReach device with your chartplotter before you can send an inReach SOS call
using the chartplotter.
1 From any screen, hold MARK/SOS for one second.
2 Select Activate inReach SOS.
The chartplotter initiates an SOS call from the paired inReach device, and creates an entry on the Conversations
page. You can communicate with the Garmin Response team using this conversation.
When an inReach SOS call is active do not turn off or attempt to turn off the inReach device or connected
chartplotter. Doing so could prevent this feature from operating properly and could delay receipt of assistance
in the event of an emergency
