Opening a Message on the inReach Mini

When new messages are received on the inReach® Mini satellite communicator, an unread message count Message Bubble With the Number One will be displayed on the home screen:

inReach Mini Home Screen 

To mark messages as read and clear the unread message count, the unread messages must be opened. This can be done on the inReach Mini itself or in the Earthmate® app on a connected smartphone. Opening messages in the Earthmate app on a connected smartphone will also mark them as read on the inReach Mini. Unread conversations and messages will have a dot next to them.

Opening Unread Messages in the Earthmate App

  1. Open the Earthmate app.

  2. Select Messages (or 3 Lines Menu Symbol > Messages).

  3. Select a conversation with unread messages.

    Conversations with unread message(s) will be indicated with a green dot:

The full conversation will now be shown on the screen and can be fully read. Once all conversations with unread messages have been opened the unread message count will be cleared from the Earthmate app as well as the home screen of the connected inReach Mini.
