Pairing Your Phone and Activating the Device
WARNING Before you can use the features of your communicator, including messaging, SOS, tracking, and Weather, you must have an active subscription. Always test your communicator outdoors before using it on a trip.
The communicator works best when it is paired with the Garmin app. The app allows you to compose and send messages using your phone, and to sync contacts and check-in messages with your communicator. 1 Turn on the communicator. 2 Bring your compatible phone within 10 m (33 ft.) of your communicator. 3 From the app store on your phone, download the Garmin app, and follow the on-screen
instructions to complete the pairing process. 4 Follow the on-screen instructions to activate a subscription service plan. After the phone and communicator are paired, they connect automatically when they are turned on and within Bluetooth® range.

Introduction

Garmin App
WARNING The features of the Garmin app, including SOS, tracking, and Weather, are not available without a connected communicator and an active subscription. Always test the app outdoors before using it on a trip.
CAUTION The messaging features of the Garmin app alone should not be relied on as a primary method to obtain emergency assistance.
NOTICE The app works over both the internet (using a wireless connection or cellular data on your phone) and the network. If you are using cellular data, your paired phone must be equipped with a data plan and be in an area of network coverage where data is available. If you are in an area without network coverage, you must have an active subscription for your communicator to use the network.
You can use the app to message other Garmin app users, including friends and family without Garmin® devices. Anyone can download the app and connect their phone, allowing them to communicate with other app users over the internet (no login is required). App users can also create group messaging threads with other SMS phone numbers. New members added to the group message can download the app to see what others are saying. Messages sent using a wireless connection or cellular data on your phone do not incur data charges or additional charges on your subscription. Messages received may incur charges if message delivery is attempted over both the network and the internet. Standard text messaging rates for your cellular data plan apply. You can download the Garmin app from the app store on your phone (garmin.com/messengerapp).
Services
With services, you can send photos, voice messages, and longer text messages using the Garmin app paired to your communicator. You can view your data use to see the number of messages (including text and media) remaining in your current billing cycle (Viewing Data Use, page 10).
Network
Your device requires a clear view of the sky to transmit messages and track points over the network. Without a clear view of the sky, your device attempts to send the information until it acquires signals. TIP: For the best connection with satellites, the top of the device should be oriented toward the sky.
Syncing Data
After you make edits to your data, such as plan changes, contacts, or check-in message recipients, you must sync your device using the Garmin app. 1 Turn on the communicator. 2 Bring your compatible phone within 10 m (33 ft.) of your communicator. 3 Open the Garmin app. 4 Wait while your data syncs automatically.
TIP: You can check the connection status of the communicator and see the last time messages were checked on the Device tab in the app.
