SOS (image)
IMPORTANT! Use SOS only in an emergency.
Use the SOS button to send an emergency message to
GEOS Search and Rescue when you are using the
inReach in standalone mode. Your location will be
relayed to GEOS Search and Rescue and they will
notify your emergency contacts. Your location will
automatically update until you cancel the SOS.
A message with your location will be sent every 60
seconds until it is received by GEOS Search and
Rescue. Once received by GEOS, your location
continues to be sent every thirty minutes when you are
stationary. The transmission rate is slowed to preserve
battery life.
If your position changes by more than 100 meters, your
location will be sent again. If you don’t need to move for
safety reasons, stay where you are to preserve battery
life and to make it easier for search and rescue to
locate you.
To send an SOS message
1. Press and slide the SOS button lock to the left and
then press the SOS button for five seconds.
The SOS LED will flash green once every three
seconds.
Then, the SOS LED will begin flashing green every
1.5 seconds, indicating that your SOS message
was received by a responder at GEOS Search and
Rescue.
2. To confirm that you have seen that your message
was received, press and release the SOS button.
Note If you are unable to confirm that you know
your message was received, help will still be sent.
To cancel an SOS message
Press the SOS button for five seconds to cancel an
SOS message. This sends a message to GEOS Search
and Rescue to let them know that the emergency has
been resolved and assistance is no longer needed.
