WARNING
Before you can use the inReach features of your inReach Mini 2 device, including messaging, SOS, tracking, and
inReach Weather, 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 messaging, tracking, and SOS functions, because these
features require 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.
