Handing off SOS
When your Android phone and inReach are connected, you can start the SOS using the Earthmate app and then power
off the phone to save battery life—the inReach will send the SOS in standalone mode. No SOS tracking points or
messages will be recorded in the Earthmate app when it is powered off, but both will be visible on explore.delorme.
com.
Alternatively, if you start SOS on the inReach and then open the Earthmate app, you can monitor SOS tracking and
send and receive messages with GEOS Search and Rescue.
The SOS LED on the inReach will flash while the SOS is in progress.
To send an SOS message
1. Make sure your inReach is powered on and connected to the Earthmate app.
2. Tap SOS and then tap This is an emergency.
3. A default emergency message is available, but, if possible, type a message providing details about your emergency.
You can also send a predefined quick text message that you synced from explore.delorme.com.
4. Tap Send. The countdown timer displays for 10 seconds. To cancel the SOS before it's sent, tap Cancel.
5. The SOS conversation thread will appear. To enter a new message, tap the Type Message box.
Note If you do not have a clear view of the sky, the SOS messages will be stored and then sent as you have a good
signal. The Signal LED will flash green when messages are being sent; it will flash red when you do not have a good
signal.
To cancel an SOS message
Tap Cancel SOS in the header of any page. This sends a message to GEOS Search and Rescue to let them know that
the emergency has been resolved and assistance is no longer needed. The SOS message thread will close once the
cancellation has been processed. On the inReach, the Signal and Message LEDs flash until the cancellation message
has finished sending; do not power off the inReach until the Signal and Message LEDs stop flashing.
You can also cancel the SOS on the inReach; see page 6 for more information.
IMPORTANT! You must cancel SOS to stop GEOS from sending help. Turning off the inReach device (or a connected
Android phone or PN-60w) or taking out the batteries will NOT tell GEOS to stop the rescue. If you replace the
batteries when an SOS is in progress, press and hold the SOS button again to update your location.
