Activating the Device

WARNING
Before you can use the inReach® features of your GPSMAP 67i device, including messaging, SOS, tracking, and inReach Weather, you must activate it.

1. From your computer or smartphone, go to explore.garmin.com to create an account and activate a service plan.

2. Turn on the device.

3. Select Activate.

4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
   NOTE: You must enter the device IMEI number and authorization code to complete the online portion of activation before you go outdoors.

5. Go outdoors to an open area with a clear view of the sky, and point the antenna on the device toward the sky for optimal performance.

6. Wait while the device communicates with the Iridium satellite network.
   NOTE: It may 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. Your device should remain outdoors until activation completes.

Iridium Satellite Network
Your device requires a clear view of the sky to transmit messages and track points over the Iridium satellite network. Without a clear view of the sky, your device attempts to send the information until it acquires satellite signals.
TIP: For the best connection with satellites, place the device with the antenna pointed toward the sky.

inReach Features

WARNING
Before you can use the inReach features of your GPSMAP 67i device, including messaging, SOS, tracking, and inReach Weather, you must have an active satellite subscription. Always test your device before you use it outdoors. Ensure you have a clear view of the sky when using the messaging, tracking, and SOS functions, because these features
require satellite access to operate properly.
NOTICE
Some jurisdictions regulate or prohibit the use of satellite communications devices. It is the responsibility of the user to know and follow all applicable laws in the jurisdictions where the device is intended to be used.

During an emergency, you can use your GPSMAP 67i device to contact the Garmin® International Emergency Response Coordination Center (IERCC) to request help. Pressing the SOS button sends a message to the Garmin IERCC, and they notify the appropriate emergency responders of your situation.

3. Wait for the SOS countdown.
   The device sends a default message to the emergency response service with details about your location.

4. Reply to the confirmation message from the emergency response service.
   Your reply lets the emergency response service know that you are capable of interacting with them during the rescue. If you do not reply, the emergency response service will still initiate a rescue.

For the first 10 minutes of your rescue, an updated location is sent to the emergency response service every minute. To conserve battery power after the first 10 minutes, an updated location is sent every 10 minutes.
Canceling an SOS Request
If you no longer need assistance, you can cancel an SOS request after it is sent to the emergency response service.

1. Lift the protective cap, and hold the SOS button.
2. Select Cancel SOS.
3. When prompted to confirm your cancellation request, select Cancel SOS.
