15DeLorme inReach User Manual | Using the inReach with a PN-60w
Alternatively, if you start SOS on the inReach and then power on your PN-60w, you can monitor SOS tracking and send
and receive messages from search and rescue.
To send an SOS message
1. Make sure your inReach is powered on and connected.
2. From the inReach Page, select SOS and then select Emergency.
3. Press ENTER to select Compose SOS. The recipient is search and rescue—this cannot be changed.
4. If possible, type a message providing details about your emergency. If you cannot type a message, the default
message will be sent.
5. Select Send SOS. The countdown timer displays for 10 seconds. To cancel the SOS before it’s sent, press QUIT.
6. The SOS conversation thread will appear. Select Reply to send another message to search and rescue or to
respond to them.
To cancel an SOS message
Select Cancel SOS. This sends a message to search and rescue to let them know that the emergency has been
resolved and assistance is no longer needed. You will receive a reply acknowledging the cancellation.
On the inReach, the Signal and Message LEDs ash until the SOS messages have nished sending. The SOS
message thread will close once the cancellation has been processed.
You can also cancel the SOS on the inReach; see page 7 for more information.
IMPORTANT! You must cancel SOS to stop search and rescue from sending help. Turning off the inReach device or
a connected device or taking out the batteries will NOT tell search and rescue 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.
