the message is sent.

SOS
IMPORTANT! Use SOS only in an emergency. Do
not test SOS—all SOS activations are real and a false
activation could result in charges to you.
Use the SOS button to send an emergency message to
GEOS Search and Rescue when you are using the inReach
in standalone mode. Your location will be relayed to GEOS
and they will dispatch emergency services and notify the
emergency contacts you listed on your account at explore.
delorme.com. Your location will automatically update until
you cancel the SOS.
Your location will be sent to GEOS as follows:
• First ten minutes, every sixty seconds
• Ten minutes to one hour, every ten minutes
• One hour to eight hours, every 15 minutes
• Eight hours to 24 hours, every 60 minutes
After the first ten minutes, if you are stationary, your
location is sent every thirty minutes; the transmission rate
is slowed to preserve battery life.
If your position changes by more than 100 meters, your
location will be sent again. If you don't need to move for
safety reasons, stay where you are to preserve battery life
and to make it easier for search and rescue to locate you.
The inReach cannot be powered off while an SOS
message is being sent or cancelled.
To send an SOS message
1. Press and slide the SOS button lock to the left and
then press the SOS button until it begins to flash and
then release it. The SOS LED will flash green once
every three seconds.
Then, the SOS LED will begin flashing green every
1.5 seconds, indicating that your SOS message was
received by a responder at GEOS Search and Rescue
and they acknowledged your message.
2. To confirm that you have seen that your message
was received, press and release the SOS button.
Note If you are unable to confirm that you know
your message was received, help will still be sent.
To cancel an SOS message
Press and hold the SOS button until the SOS LED
flashes rapidly and then release the button. This sends a
message to GEOS Search and Rescue to let them know
