Batteries
The battery compartment is on the bottom of the inReach. Inside the battery compartment, you'll find a label with your
device's IMEI number and authorization code; you'll need this when you activate your inReach at explore.delorme.
com.
To insert the batteries
Remove the cover by unscrewing the D-ring screws, insert two lithium AA batteries according to the polarity symbols,
and then replace the cover.
Low battery warning
When the lithium batteries are low (approximately 10% of their power remains), the Power LED will flash red once
every three seconds. When power loss is imminent, the Power LED flashes red every 1.5 seconds.
Two (2) AA batteries are required for use. Lithium batteries provide the best performance and are strongly
recommended. Alkaline and NiMH batteries can be used in an emergency; the low battery warning is not
accurate for these types of batteries.
Micro USB Port
The micro USB port is located in the battery compartment. This is used to update the device (this happens
infrequently). If an update is required, you will be notified and instructions will be provided.

Satellite Reception

The inReach requires a clear view of the sky to acquire a GPS fix and transmit your messages over the Iridium
network. This process should take less than one minute, but it could take more time if the line of sight is obstructed.
For the best reception when wearing the inReach, attach it to a backpack strap on your upper body or place it in a
pocket at the top of a backpack. If you attach the pack clip to your belt, some of the signal may be blocked by your
body and could prevent proper transmission of messages and tracking points.
