The Mini 2 can be paired directly through the StaySafe app. To enable a seamless connection make sure your Garmin inReach Bluetooth is on and set to pair.

Note: We recommend pairing the device while you have a data connection (WIFI or Cellular), and doing a test before heading out.

Step 1: Put your Garmin into Bluetooth pairing mode. You can find this in the Garmin device settings > phone > pair phone

Step 2: Open the StaySafe app

Step 3: Tap on settings

Step 4: Choose Garmin inReach

Step 5: Choose the name of the Garmin to pair it directly with your phone and connect to the app

Step 6: If prompted to enter a PIN, enter the PIN shown on the Garmin screen

Step 7: Once the Garmin is connected, you will see the inReach status screen with the name of the Garmin, the connection status and the battery level

Step 8: You are now ready to use your device with the app

Top Tips:

  • Start a session on the app before going out to a remote area

  • Use the app to check in, extend sessions, end sessions and panic

  • Do not press SOS on the Garmin inReach device if you need assistance, use the app

  • While using satellite mode your location updates are sent directly from your Garmin inReach to StaySafe using the tracking function. To enable the location to be updated in StaySafe, ensure you have tracking turned on

  • Do not disconnect Bluetooth while running a StaySafe session

  • Make sure you have updated your Staysafe app to the latest version (1.15)
