The only way to stop SOS transmissions from being sent is to cancel the SOS from the device or connected mobile device and wait for the cancellation acknowledgement to be received. If the Delorme inReach batteries are exhausted (has happened once during my time with the inReach although NOT during an SOS session) or removed during an SOS session, the session will resume when the device is powered back on. SOS Remains Active Through a Power Cycle This is vital to conserving power on your mobile device for extended trips. When the mobile device reconnects to the inReach, these points will be downloaded to the app. While tracking is active and the mobile device you’ve paired to the inReach is disconnected, up to 30 tracking points are stored on the inReach (will be less if there are unread incoming messages). Up to 30 Track Points are Retained While Tracking Autonomously When connected to commercially available solar chargers, NiMH batteries provide an extremely cost-effective solution for long trips away from electrical power sources.” For maximum flexibility and minimal environmental impact, the rechargeable NiMH batteries can run up to 75 hours between charges and can be recharged up to 500 times. When running on Alkaline batteries, which are lower cost and readily available at retail stores everywhere, battery life is now extended up to 72 hours. With the new upgrade, battery life has been doubled from 60 to 125 hours for standard Lithium AA batteries, with ten-minute reporting intervals. “inReach users can choose AA-size Lithium, Alkaline or rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries to power the device. Upgrades to this device since our original review:Ĭourtesy of Delorme’s most recent press release: Updates to the inReach are accomplished using a supplied Micro USB. This communication and GPS device is not a “set it and forget it” machine. Update: It is important to remember that devices such as Delorme inReach must be maintained. All inReach devices require a subscription and fees. The inReach SE and other stand-alone models are probably better choices for backcountry use. The type reviewed below is designed to pair with a smartphone, and by many reports is somewhat difficult to use, not to mention requiring a smartphone to be fully functional and thus being dependent on the smartphone batteries. Please note the Delorme inReach is available in a confusing variety of versions.
