• Go online from your computer to
explore.delorme.com
and
follow the instructions.
• You will be prompted for your IMEI number and Authorization
Code; find these in the Setup Wizard on inReach Explorer.
During the online account setup process, you'll choose your inReach
service plan, enter your payment information and contact details,
and add your emergency contacts that will be used if your inReach
Explorer is placed into SOS mode.
During the setup process you should also add the following details to
prepare your inReach Explorer:
• Add contacts to your device by selecting the
Contacts
tab.
• Link your Twitter and Facebook accounts to share messages
with your friends. Set up your MapShare web page to let
others follow your trip and send you messages on your inReach
Explorer.
• Create some commonly used text messages that will be
stored in your device, e.g. “Busy, will reply later!” Select the
Messages
tab and edit the
Quick Text Messages
.
• Write special
Preset Messages
that you think you’ll use
often, e.g. “Just arrived and doing well” or “Leaving now for
my next destination.” Select the
Messages
tab and edit the
Preset Messages
. Specify a group of recipients to whom
you’ll send your regular updates.
Preset Messages
let you send a message you created ahead of
time to a list of people you specified when creating the preset. You
can send this message with just a few button presses. A
Quick Text
Message
is a message you know you’ll use often when replying to
or sending messages, and you don’t want to type it each time. Send
it with just a few button presses.
Step Three: Check your connection.
inReach Explorer needs a clear satellite signal from the sky to
complete the setup process. Go outside and stand in an open area
away from tall buildings, roof overhangs and trees.
When you set up your Explore account, DeLorme sent you a welcome
message for testing your inReach. Your device will receive this
message during the activation process. When you have a clear view
of the sky, press Enter to activate and receive your message.
