The inReach SE automatically attempts to verify the contact information you entered. If the information you input doesn’t 

meet the requirements of a phone number or email address (i.e. there is no “@” in an email), the inReach SE will notify 

you that you have made an invalid entry. You can edit by selecting the information. The keyboard and cursor will appear 

again. 

 

New contacts are automatically added each time you send or receive a message from a person who is not already listed 

in your address book.  

 

 

 

 

Edit a Contact 

To edit an existing contact, select Contacts from the home screen, and then select the contact you’d like to edit. When the 

contact’s details appear on screen, select the field you’d like to edit. The keyboard will appear, allowing you to type in 

edits. When you’ve finished updating the contact, select OK and press Enter.
