Mounting the inReach Tracker  

The InReach SE Tracker uses the Iridium satellite system, and as such needs to be able to see the sky - both for acquiring 
a GPS fix and transmitting positions.  

 

PLEASE INSTALL YOUR TRACKER AND TURN ON BEFORE YOU DEPART YOUR HOME PORT  

 

The InReach unit does NOT interfere with other electronic equipment   

 

Ensure that the InReach is mounted with the antenna towards the sky   

 

Ensure that the InReach has a good view of the sky  

 

DO NOT place the InReach where it may be ʻgrabbedʼ

 and broken in heavy seas  

 

DO NOT place the InReach under metal covers or inside a vessel  

 

Make sure the tracker pouch is securely wrapped up to prevent water from getting to the unit.  

Once mounted, turn the tracker on, go to the tracker site and confirm you can see your boat being tracked.  If you have 
problems with seeing it being tracked, please call the Race Director immediately.
