Supported Features:
Tracking
The inReach can send tracking messages to Tracertrak at configured time intervals. The interval at which a device
will send tracking messages is controlled by the Tracertrak system. If you attempt to alter the tracking interval
from the inReach menu, Tracertrak will send a command to your device to reset the tracking interval so that it
is in line with the console setting.
Important Note:
If your inReach is in track mode, powering down your device will end track mode. When you
power your inReach back on tracking will be turned off by default unless you
have enbabled the ‘Auto
-track
when powered’ setting in the device.
Contacts
The inReach contains a list of Contacts which is stored on the device. The contact list is created by manually
typing contact information into the inReach.
To view your list of contacts, select Contacts from the home screen. Your contacts will be listed in alphabetical
order by first name. To select a contact, use the directional pad to scroll through and select a name. Press Enter
to see a contact’s details, like phone number and email address.
Create a New Contact
To create a new contact, select Contacts from the home screen, and then select Create New. A keyboard and
cursor will appear, prompting you to enter in the new contact information. Use the keyboard to type in the
contact details. The keyboard will switch to numbers and symbols automatically when you move your cursor
into the SMS Number field. Mobile numbers need to be entered in international format, including the leading
‘+’ (i.e. +614…). When you’ve finished entering the information, select OK and press Enter.
The inReach 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
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.
