Introduction

WARNING

See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the product box for product warnings and other

important information.

Getting Started with the GPSMAP H1i Plus

1 Charge the device (Charging the GPSMAP Device, page3).

2 Turn on the device and select your language, action button function, and current activity (GPSMAP H1i Plus

Device Overview, page4).

3 Pair your device and activate inReach

satellite communication features with the Garmin Messenger

™

app on

your phone (Pairing Your Phone and Activating the Device, page1).

4 If necessary, create a passocde to secure your device (Setting Your Device Passcode, page69).

5 Check for updates (Product Updates, page71).

For the best experience, you should keep the software on your device up to date. Software updates provide

changes and improvements to privacy, security, and features.

6 Sync your satellite communicator with the Garmin Messenger app (Syncing inReach Data, page45).

7 Test your satellite communicator before you begin your trip (Sending a Test Message, page39).

8 Go outdoors to an open area and wait while the device locates satellites.

9 Start an activity (Starting an Activity, page10).

Pairing Your Phone and Activating the Device

WARNING

Before you can use the inReach features of your satellite communicator, including messaging, SOS, tracking,

and inReach Weather, you must have an active satellite subscription. You must have a valid, unique phone

number that can receive a text message to complete activation and pairing with the Garmin Messenger app.

VOIP numbers are not supported. Always test your satellite communicator outdoors before using it on a trip.

The GPSMAP H1i Plus satellite communicator works best when it is paired with the Garmin Messenger app. The

app allows you to compose and send messages using your phone, and to sync inReach data with your satellite

communicator.

1 During the initial setup on your satellite communicator, scan the QR code with the camera on your phone to

download and install the Garmin Messenger app.

NOTE: If you previously skipped the pairing process, you can select > inReach Activation. Media and

group messaging will not be available if you activate the device through the Garmin Explore

™

web interface

instead of the Garmin Messenger app.

2 Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the pairing process and activate a subscription service plan.

3 To use additional connected features and complete the setup process, download and install the Garmin

Explore app using your phone.

After the satellite communicator and phone are paired, they connect automatically when they are turned on and

within range.

Introduction 1

Garmin Messenger App

WARNING

The inReach features of the Garmin Messenger app, including SOS, tracking, and inReach Weather, are not

available without a connected inReach satellite communicator and an active satellite subscription. Always test

the app outdoors before using it on a trip.

CAUTION

The non-satellite messaging features of the Garmin Messenger app alone should not be relied on as a primary

method to obtain emergency assistance.

NOTICE

The app works over both the internet (using a wireless connection or cellular data on your phone) and the

Iridium

satellite network. If you are using cellular data, your paired phone must be equipped with a data plan

and be in an area of network coverage where data is available. If you are in an area without network coverage,

you must have an active satellite subscription for your inReach satellite communicator to use the Iridium

satellite network.

You can use the app to message other Garmin Messenger app users, including friends and family without

Garmin

devices. Anyone can download the app and connect their phone, allowing them to communicate with

other app users over the internet (no login is required). App users can also create group messaging threads

with other SMS phone numbers. New members added to the group message can download the app to see what

others are saying.

Messages sent using a wireless connection or cellular data on your phone do not incur data charges or

additional charges on your satellite subscription. Messages received may incur charges if message delivery

is attempted over both the Iridium satellite network and the internet. Standard text messaging rates for your

cellular data plan apply.

You can download the Garmin Messenger app from the app store on your phone (garmin.com/messengerapp).

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.

Getting Started with the GPSMAP H1

1 Charge the device (Charging the GPSMAP Device, page3).

2 Turn on the device and select your language, action button function, and current activity (GPSMAP H1 Device

Overview, page5).

3 Pair your device with the Garmin Explore app on your phone (Pairing Your Phone, page3).

The app allows you to receive notifications, view weather forecasts, search for live geocache data, and more.

4 If necessary, create a passocde to secure your device (Setting Your Device Passcode, page69).

5 Check for updates (Product Updates, page71).

For the best experience, you should keep the software on your device up to date. Software updates provide

changes and improvements to privacy, security, and features.

6 Go outdoors to an open area and wait while the device locates satellites.

7 Start an activity (Starting an Activity, page10).

2 Introduction

Pairing Your Phone

To use the connected features of your GPSMAP H1 navigator, you should pair it with the Garmin Explore app.

Applied Ballistics

WARNING

The Applied Ballistics feature is intended to provide accurate elevation and windage solutions based on gun and

bullet profiles and measurements of current conditions only. Depending on your environment, conditions may

change rapidly. Changes in environmental conditions, like wind gusts or downrange winds, may have an effect

on the accuracy of your shot. Elevation and windage solutions are suggestions only based upon your input into

the feature. Take readings often and carefully, and allow the readings to stabilize after significant changes in

environmental conditions. Always allow a margin of safety for changing conditions and reading errors.

Always understand your target and what lies beyond your target before taking a shot. Failure to account for your

shooting environment could cause property damage, injury, or death.

The Applied Ballistics feature offers customized aiming solutions for long-range shooting based on your

rifle characteristics, bullet characteristics, and various environmental conditions. You can enter parameters

including wind, temperature, humidity, range, and firing direction.

This feature provides the information you need to fire long-range projectiles, including elevation

holdover, windage, and time of flight. It also includes custom drag models for your bullet type. Go to

angle (MOA). Input field.

Sight in Conditions: The environmental conditions while sighting in your gun. These are optional modifications

recommended when sighting in your gun 300 yards and beyond. Toggle field.

SSF Elevation: A linear multiplier that accounts for vertical scaling. Not all rifle scopes track perfectly, so the

ballistics solution requires a correction to scale according to a particular rifle scope. For example, if a turret is

moved 10 mil but the impact is 9 mil, the sight scale is 0.9. Input field.

SSF Windage: A linear multiplier that accounts for horizontal scaling. Not all rifle scopes track perfectly, so the

ballistics solution requires a correction to scale according to a particular rifle scope. For example, if a turret is

moved 10 mil but the impact is 9 mil, the sight scale is 0.9. Input field.

Zero Height: An optional modification to impact elevation at zero range. This is often used when adding a

suppressor or using a subsonic load. For example, if you add a suppressor and your bullet impacts the target

1 inch higher than expected, your Zero Height is 1 inch. You must set this to zero when you remove the

suppressor. Input field.

Zero Humidity: The humidity while sighting in your gun. This is an optional modification recommended when

sighting in your gun at 300 yards and beyond. Input field.

Zero Offset: An optional modification to impact windage at zero range. This is often used when adding a

suppressor or using a subsonic load. For example, if you add a suppressor and your bullet impacts the target

1 inch to the left of the expected impact, your Zero Offset is -1 inch. You must set this to zero when you

remove the suppressor. Input field.

Zero Pressure: The ambient pressure while sighting in your gun. This is an optional modification recommended

when sighting in your gun at 300 yards and beyond. Input field.

Zero Temperature: The temperature while sighting in your gun. This is an optional modification recommended

when sighting in your gun at 300 yards and beyond. Input field.

Profile Fields - Calibrate Muzzle Velocity

tempe

Your device is compatible with the tempe temperature sensor. You can attach the sensor to a secure strap or

loop where it is exposed to ambient air, so it provides a consistent source of accurate temperature data. You

must pair the tempe sensor with your device to display temperature data. See the instructions for your tempe

sensor for more information.

Appendix 77

Tips for Pairing Wireless Sensors

• Verify that the sensor is compatible with your Garmin device.

• Before you pair the sensor with your Garmin device, move 10 m (33 ft.) away from other sensors with ANT+

technology.

• Bring the Garmin device within range 3 m (10 ft.) of the sensor.

• After you pair the first time, your Garmin device automatically recognizes the sensor each time it is activated.

This process occurs automatically when you turn on the Garmin device and only takes a few seconds when

the sensors are activated and functioning correctly.

• When paired, your Garmin device receives data from only your sensor, and you can go near other sensors.

Troubleshooting

Maximizing Battery Life

You can do several things to extend the battery life.

• Reduce the screen brightness (Display and Brightness Settings, page63).

• Reduce the length of time before the backlight turns off (Display and Brightness Settings, page63).

• Turn off the screen automatically when the backlight times out (Display and Brightness Settings, page63).

• Reduce the flashlight brightness (Using the Flashlight, page26).

• Reduce the flash frequency of the flashlight strobe (Using the Flashlight, page26).

• Use expedition mode (Turning On Expedition Mode, page69).

• Turn off wireless connectivity (Wi‑Fi Settings, page65).

• Turn off Bluetooth technology (Bluetooth Settings, page65).

• Turn off additional satellite systems (Satellite Settings, page68).

• Use Low Power messaging mode on your GPSMAP H1i Plus satellite communicator (Messenger App

Settings, page42).

• Reduce the frequency of the Send Interval tracking setting on your GPSMAP H1i Plus satellite communicator

(inReach Tracking Setup, page43).

Long-Term Storage

When you do not plan to use the device for several months, you should charge the battery to at least 50% before

you store the device. You should store the device in a cool, dry place with temperatures around the typical

household level. After storage, you should fully recharge the device before using it.

Restarting the Device

If the device stops responding, you may need to restart it. This does not erase any of your data or settings.

Hold the power button for approximately 15 seconds.

About Heart Rate Zones

Many athletes use heart rate zones to measure and increase their cardiovascular strength and improve their

level of fitness. A heart rate zone is a set range of heartbeats per minute. The five commonly accepted

heart rate zones are numbered from 1 to 5 according to increasing intensity. Generally, heart rate zones are

calculated based on percentages of your maximum heart rate.

78 Appendix

Fitness Goals

Knowing your heart rate zones can help you measure and improve your fitness by understanding and applying

these principles.

• Your heart rate is a good measure of exercise intensity.

• Training in certain heart rate zones can help you improve cardiovascular capacity and strength.

If you know your maximum heart rate, you can use the table (Heart Rate Zone Calculations, page79) to

determine the best heart rate zone for your fitness objectives.

If you do not know your maximum heart rate, use one of the calculators available on the Internet. Some gyms

and health centers can provide a test that measures maximum heart rate. The default maximum heart rate is

220 minus your age.
