Initiating an SOS Rescue


Before you can initiate an SOS rescue using your Overlander device, you must pair it with a compatible inReach device (Connecting an inReach Device).

NOTE: While in SOS mode, the inReach device cannot be turned off.

  1. Select App drawer > Explore tab > inReach > Menu > SOS.
  2. Slide the SOS icon to the right.
  3. Wait for the SOS countdown.
  4. The device sends a default message to the emergency response service with details about your location.
  5. Reply to the confirmation message from the emergency response service.
  6. Your reply lets the emergency response service know that you are capable of interacting with them during the 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 when moving, and every 30 minutes when stationary.
