Activation




Before you can use your inReach MINI device, you must activate it.

  1. Create an account, and choose a satellite subscription at explore.garmin.com.
  2. Turn on the device.
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
  4. When prompted, go outdoors to an open area with a clear view of the sky.
  5. Wait for the device to communicate with the Iridium satellite network.

NOTE: It can take up to 20 minutes to activate your device. The device must send and receive several messages, which takes longer than sending a single message during regular use.
