The satellite functionality is designed to make it easy for teams to share their devices. The automatic transfer of devices between users means the inReach device and its associated subscription plan can be shared simply and quickly. When switching devices, please ensure a complete disconnection before reconnecting to another device.
To enable sharing of the device please follow the below steps:
Step 1: The paired lone worker using the Garmin inReach must first disconnect the device from their mobile. They can do this by going to app settings > Garmin inReach > tap the red disconnect button.
If you are using an inReach Mini or Explorer you need to disconnect from the device's Bluetooth and the app.
Step 2: The Garmin is now available for the next lone worker
Step 3: The Lone worker should start the pairing process following the guide depending on the inReach device you are using
Note:
Each inReach device requires a subscription plan
There is no need to set up or assign a Garmin inReach device in the hub
When an inReach device is connected to Staysafe its IMEI identifier is associated with the user within the hub automatically, therefore when a session action is done in the app double checks are performed to ensure correct assignment
