Pair your inReach to your mobile device  

The inReach only pairs with one device at a time. So in case it is paired with a previous user’s device 
try to unpair the inReach first: go to Settings>Bluetooth>Connected and press the ‘Tick’ button then 
select ‘Forget this device’.  

To pair your inReach with your mobile device, on the inReach go to Settings>Bluetooth>Pair inReach. 
Then follow the instructions on the screen.  

On your iOS device: Go to Settings>Bluetooth and make sure it is turned on. Select the inReach 
Explorer from the Devices list.  
On your Android device: Go to Settings>Wireless and Networks>Bluetooth Settings and make sure 
Bluetooth is turned on. Select Scan Devices and choose inReach Explorer from the Bluetooth 
Devices list.  

The inReach notifies you when it has successfully paired with your mobile device.  
Tip: You only need to pair the devices once; from then on, the devices will communicate with each 
other anytime they are in range, turned on and Bluetooth is active.  

Once your devices are paired and you have a data connection, enter your inReach account 
information into the Earthmate app Options page to sync it with the Explore website.  
Once you’ve synced your mobile device with the Explore site, all your contacts appear in the 
Earthmate app Contacts list and are available when creating a new message.
