Configuring your inReach Satellite Device with SafetyLine

Your Garmin inReach device can integrate with SafetyLine, allowing you to remain safe and monitored even when outside of cell range. 

Before getting started, make sure that your IMEI number is within your "Satellite Device" section in your profile at slmonitor.com.

1. Verify that you’re on a Garmin Professional account if not you must upgrade to a Garmin Professional account. If you're on a Personal account, please follow the link for instructions on how to swap to Professional: https://support.garmin.com/en-CA/?faq=YziSHUMRUw7g78pK5e2ot7
   
   
2. Once logged in, navigate to the “Settings” section in the top right corner and select “Portal Connect.”  Once here, add this URL: https://deviceapi.slmonitor.com/garmin to the “Outbound Settings” section, and save all changes.
   
   
3. On the main page of your inReach portal and select "Groups and Users."
   
   
4. In the right-hand corner, select "Add user."
   
   
5. Fill in all the required fields in order to continue. SafetyLine does not utilize this information in any way. This is purely on the Garmin side of things and will be ignored when used with SafetyLine.
   
   
6. Next, proceed to the "Plans and Devices" page.
   
   
7. Next to the IMEI you wish to assign to the user you just created, click the three dots on the far right and select "Assign device."
   
   
8. From the drop-down menu, select the user you wish to assign the device to you and click "Assign."
   
   
9. Return to the "Groups and Users" tab and select the user you wish to configure the messages for.  Once selected, you should see a tab near the top of the screen called "Messages." 
   
   
10. From you here, you can assign three preset messages.  At the end of the article, you will find examples of commands that you can list here.
    
    
11. Additionally, you can also create "Quick Text Messages." As an example, you may create one that says !report-OK By leaving the end of the command blank, you can quickly populate a message with your "Quick Text Message" and add the information as it relates to the situation.
    
    
12. Put [e-mail] in the email option and hit save.
    
    
13. Plug in your inReach device and sync to apply these changes.
    
    
14. Add your device number to the "Satellite Device" section of your SafetyLine profile.

Predefined Messages
