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.
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.

inReach GPS
The inReach’s internal GPS is used for location information for the Earthmate app when the inReach and the mobile
device are connected. If the inReach is not connected, the Earthmate app must use your mobile device’s GPS to
determine your location.
If you are going to be out of cell phone range, put your mobile device into Airplane Mode and then turn Bluetooth back
on to prevent the device from searching for a signal—this will improve battery life.
