Checking the inReach Mini Dive Case Hinge Pin

The lower hinge pin can fallout in some inReach® Mini handheld dive cases, causing the lid to detach from the body of the dive case. To resolve this, replace the lower hinge pin with a new, two-sided hinge pin included in a service kit available from Garmin.

Confirming the Issue Affects Your Dive Case

Use a paper clip to push out the lower hinge pin  from the dive case hinge:

If the hinge pin moves easily or falls out, you should obtain a service kit to replace the pin. The following information will be needed:

• Serial number of your inReach Mini

• The email address used for the Mini registration
