Checking for Messages
When you send a message, your device listens for replies for 10 minutes. The device also checks for new
messages every hour. When you are using the inReach tracking feature, your device automatically checks for
messages at your tracking interval.
NOTE: To receive messages, your device must have a clear view of the sky and be in view of a satellite when it
checks for the messages.
You can force a check for messages by manually checking for messages, sending a message, or sending a
track point. During a check, your device connects to satellites and receives messages waiting to be sent to your
device.
Select Team Tracking > Check.

1 Select Team Tracking, and select a conversation.
2 Select a message with location information, and select Go!.
Deleting a Message

SOS
WARNING
Before you can use the SOS function, 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 SOS function, because this feature requires 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 Tread XL device to contact the Garmin Response
SM
center to request
help. Pressing the SOS button sends a message to the Garmin Response team, and they notify the appropriate
emergency responders of your situation. You can communicate with the Garmin Response team during your
emergency while you wait for help to arrive. You should only use the SOS function in a real emergency situation.
