Safety Information

Disposal
Dispose of all electronic devices in compliance with local regulations in your area.
Driving
Always follow safe driving practices and local rules and regulations regarding the use of wireless devices while driving.
Always park safely prior to sending a text message or consulting mapping data.
Pacemakers
Follow the guidelines of the Health Industry Manufacturers Association (www.hira.org) as they may be updated from
time to time regarding maintaining minimum distance between a handheld wireless device and a pacemaker to avoid
potential interference with the pacemaker.
Hearing Aids
Digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to con-
sult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer's guidelines for that device and consult your
physician to determine compatibility with your medical device.
Turn your InReach device OFF in any health care facility when necessary to comply with posted rules and regulations.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your device OFF when in a "blasting area" or in areas posted: "Turn
off two‐way radio." Obey all signs and instructions.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Power OFF your device and do not remove your battery when you are in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere. Obey all signs and instructions. Sparks from your battery or from discharge of static electricity in areas
such as gasoline filling stations could cause an explosion or fire resulting in serious injury or even death. Areas with
a potentially explosive atmosphere are not always clearly marked, and include fueling areas such as gasoline stations;
below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; areas where fuel odors are present (for example, if
a gas/propane leak occurs in a car or home); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or
metal powders; and any other area where you normally would be advised to turn off your vehicle.
