Signal LED
The Signal LED indicates the status of the connection
between the inReach and the GPS satellites or Iridium
satellites. Green flashes indicate that messages or track-
ing points are being sent. Red flashes indicate that you
don’t have a good signal and messages or tracking points
aren’t being sent.

The Signal LED flashes green once every three
seconds when the inReach is sending a message
of any type. The LED will stop flashing when the
message is sent unless the inReach is tracking in
standalone mode.
•
The Signal LED flashes red once every three seconds
when there is a problem sending or confirming a
message. The Signal LED will flash red until the
message is successfully transmitted or cancelled. If
the LED is flashing red, try moving to a new location
to get a better view of the satellites.
