Pairing the inReach Messenger for the inReach Remote Widget
Some Garmin products have the ability to pair with the inReach® Messenger device and use some of the inReach® satellite communication features that it offers.
Even though both devices need to be in close proximity (10ft) to each other, it can be helpful to strap your inReach Messenger device on your pack or person, and then use a smaller non-inReach device for messaging, SOS, etc.
This article walks you through the process of getting these devices paired together.

With the inReach Remote sensor enabled, the inReach Messenger is ready to pair with a compatible device.
