Activating your inReach Explorer
Step One: Power on your device.
Turn your inReach Explorer on by holding down the power button
until the Power On screen displays. Press the Left Arrow and then
Enter. A screen will display a welcome message and begin the setup
process.
Follow the on-screen instructions to continue the setup process.
Step Two: Set up your airtime plan and
Explore account.
Your inReach Explorer requires a satellite airtime plan and an online
Explore account to send and receive messages, much like a mobile
phone plan. The inReach uses Iridium's satellite network to track,
share information, and send and receive messages. To choose your
plan and set up your account, use the DeLorme Explore website:
• Go online from your computer to explore.delorme.com and
follow the instructions.
