The inReach SE requires a clear view of the sky to acquire a
GPS fix and transmit your messages over the Iridium® satellite
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 or to your upper body. 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.
