Device Overview, page4).
3 Pair your device and activate inReach
®
satellite communication features with the Garmin Messenger
app on

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.

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).

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

sensor or other temperature
source. This field does not automatically update when connected to a tempe sensor.
Wind Direction Mode: Sets the wind direction setting (Direction) relative to your direction of fire (Relative to
DOF) or relative to true north (True Wind Dir).
NOTE: When you are engaging multiple targets at different DOFs, the True Wind Dir option is useful because
you only have to adjust your DOF, and your wind direction remains the same.
Wind Speed 1: The wind speed used in the shooting solution, displayed in miles per hour (mph), kilometers per
hour (km/h), or meters per second (m/s). Input field.
Wind Speed 2: An optional, additional wind speed used in the shooting solution, displayed in miles per hour
(mph), kilometers per hour (km/h), or meters per second (m/s). Input field.
TIP: You can use two wind speeds to calculate a windage solution that contains a high and low value. The
actual windage to apply for the shot should fall in this range.
Profile Fields - Bullet Data
Ballistic Coefficient: The manufacturer's ballistic coefficient for your bullet. Input field.

Profile Fields - Scope
Scope Units: The units of measure for your scope, displayed in inches, milliradians (mrad/mil), or minute of
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
Range: The distance from the muzzle to the target, displayed in yards or meters. Input field.
TIP: You should enter a value as close as possible to the range suggested in the shooting solution. This is the
range where the bullet slows to Mach 1.2 and begins to enter the transonic range.

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
background
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
background
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.
