How Often Does the inReach Mini Series Check For Messages

The inReach® Mini series satellite communicators will check for messages by performing a mail check, weather request, sending a message, or sending a track point. During a check, your device connects to satellites and receives messages waiting to be sent to your device.

When sending a message, the device will continue to listen for replies for 10 minutes. After this, the device will check for new messages every hour.

NOTE: The automatic, hourly mail checks cannot be disabled.
