World Wide Range

No matter where you go the ARTEX PLB will work. Units purchased in the US can be registered with NOAA and in case you are in an emergency overseas NOAA will notify your local SAR agency of the distress signal.

How It Works?

When activated, the ARTEX PLB transmits your position and your ID to a Rescue Coordination Center via satellite link. Rescue services nearest to you are promptly notified of your emergency and initiate the Search & Rescue process.

What else comes with it?

The ARTEX PLB features a unique mounting clip and a flotation pouch: The PLB can be firmly attached to the pouch with the provided lanyard to enable it to float. These materials are proved and tested to endure all types of environments.

Product description

You may venture off the grid, but you’re never out of reach as long as you’re carrying an inReach SE+ or inReach Explorer+. These handheld satellite communicators are designed for the outdoor enthusiast who wants to roam farther and experience more without compromising their loved ones‘ peace of mind. From backcountry experiences to international adventures, inReach provides communication, location sharing, navigation and critical SOS functions for anyone who loves getting away from it all, on land, water or in the skies.

• 100 percent global Iridium satellite coverage enables two way text messaging from anywhere (satellite subscription required)
• Trigger an interactive SOS to the 24/7 search and rescue monitoring center
• Track and share your location with family and friends. Water rating : IPX7. Battery : Rechargeable internal lithium ion
• Pair with mobile devices using the free earthmate app for access to downloadable maps, U.S. NOAA charts, color aerial imagery and more
• In reach explorer+ device adds preloaded Delorme topo maps with onscreen GPS routing plus built in digital compass, barometric altimeter and accelerometer

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this device be used as a gps without an active satellite subscription
Answer:	Yes it can. Without a subscription the inReach Explorer+ has a 24k scale topo map of North America built-in and the ability to navigate using its compass, barometric altimiter, and accelerometer. But why would you pay $450 for these features when Garmin and other companies give them to you for much less in other devices. The significant reason to buy the inReach is its satillite communication features, including GEOS Search and Rescue response. Please note, if you don't have an active subscription you CAN'T TURN IN ON from the trail. If you get into an emergency situation you won't have satellite access. Therefor you can't get an SOS through. You can't send an email to DeLorme (now Garmin) to turn it on. You're isolated from the outside world even though the device has the features you need. Without the active subscription they won't work. Because of this, I choose to subscribe to the ANNUAL plan which is always active. The cheapest version is under $15 / month including taxes. That way I'm always assured of communications even if I break down on the Interstate outside of cell phone range. Their other FREEDOM plan is a bit more expensive but allowes you to turn the subscription on or off on a monthly basis. This seems like a great option if you only hike during the Summer months. But don't look to it when you slide off the road in January and you have no active service.
Question:	Does it cost when you receive messages or is it included in the plan
Answer:	You are charged for messages sent and also messages received. You also pay for tracking points (your location) sent to your online map for friends to follow you. What you are charged depends on the level of service you choose and the subscription plan you have. The basic SAFETY level at $11.95 (Annual Contract plan) or $14.95 (Freedom plan - no contract) each month. It gets you 10 messages and no tracking points. Additional messages are $0.50 each. Tracking points are $0.10 each. The RECREATION level has unlimited messages and tracking points and costs $49.95 or $64.95 each month depending on your plan.
Question:	I'm trying to figure out the satellite subscription. does it include any search & rescue insurance? find me spot does, but i don't like their device
Answer:	Yes, a subscription to GEOS (the same search and rescue service offered with a SPOT) is included with the monthly fee.
Question:	If the Iridium service is suspended, does this device become a paperweight like the Explorer, locking you out of the gps, tracks, msg history, etc
Answer:	Iridium is used for two functions, messaging and track updates to your MapShare page. The GPS features are self contained, like other Garmin units. So without the satellites you still have your exact location on a 24k scale map, digital compass, track log on the InReach for easy return via the same route, pre-loaded waypoints and routes for navigation, and the ability to connect to a Smarphone where you may have pre-downloaded additional maps, such as color satellite views. What you lose if satellites are down (which they never are) is connectivity with the outside world through messages and track reporting to your MapShare site. Think of it this way. If you had a GPS app on your phone and the cell service went down you still could see where you are on your app but you couldn't text home.

Product features

Garmin inReach Explorer+

Handheld Satellite Communicator with Maps and Sensors

Explore Anywhere. Communicate Everywhere.

Using the worldwide coverage of the Iridium satellite network, these go-anywhere portable devices let you exchange text messages with any cell phone number or email address anywhere – while using GPS to track and share your journey’s progress.

In case of an at-risk situation, you can also use inReach to trigger an SOS to the 24/7 monitoring center, text back and forth about the nature of your emergency, and receive confirmation when help is on the way.

Track and Share Your Whereabouts

Turn on the tracking function of your inReach SE+ or Explorer+ communicator, and let family and friends follow your progress on their computers or mobile devices, using the web-based MapShare portal. The inReach device will send waypoints at preselected time intervals, so followers can track your whereabouts online. You can also invite your crew back home to use MapShare to ping your inReach unit and see your GPS location, track your movements and exchange messages during your trip. You can even embed your MapShare page on a blog, website or social media.

Get Weather Wherever

The optional inReach weather forecast service provides detailed updates directly to your inReach device, compatible smartphone or tablet paired with the Earthmate app, so you’ll know what conditions to expect en route. Basic and premium weather packages are offered. And you can request weather forecasts for your current location or any other waypoint or destination on your itinerary.

Who Will Answer Your SOS? GEOS Will.

GEOS is the world leader in emergency response solutions and monitoring. They’ve supported rescues in more than 140 countries, saving many lives in the process. And they’re standing by 24/7/365 to respond to your SOS, track your device and notify the proper contacts and emergency responders in your area. Then, while help is on the way, GEOS will continue to text back and forth with you, providing updates and critical information until your situation is resolved.

Pair with Your Mobile Device

For even more capability and convenience, the free Earthmate app syncs your inReach handheld via Bluetooth with your compatible Apple or Android device so you can access unlimited maps, aerial imagery and U.S. NOAA charts. Plus, Earthmate allows you to conveniently use all of the inReach features on your paired mobile device. For easier messaging, you can also sync your inReach device with your phone’s contact list to reach anyone, anywhere – with fewer keystrokes.

Product description

A personal location beacon (PLB) is a personal safety device designed to alert search and rescue services and allow them to quickly locate you in the event of an emergency, on land or sea.

• 406/121.5MHz plb
• Easy to operate
• No subscription needed
• High brightness LED SOS light
• Minimum 24hr continuous operation

User questions & answers

Question:	Is there any service fee or any monthly cost
Answer:	There are no monthly fees, you just need to register the device. It is strictly for rescue only--not like some beacons that allow you to send out an I'm OK ping. The battery is supposed to last 6 years.
Question:	How easy would it be to accidentally activate the beacon, thanks
Answer:	Not very easy. You have to deliberately remove the top first. I have never had a problem in two years. I carry it in my backpack.
Question:	how do you make sure the battery doesn’t die while you’re out on a hike
Answer:	Do the test function outlined in the owners manual.
Question:	It is a one time use? If yes, then after using what do you do with it? Send it back to manufacture or just throw it in the garbage
Answer:	I believe you would send it back to the manufacturer for a battery replacement. This service is recommended after about 5 years anyway to ensure you have good batteries. Then it can be used an additional 5 years before it is retired. Hopefully, if you ever need to use the device to summon a rescue, you won't be worried about the cost of a battery replacement.
Question:	What is the range
Answer:	It works wold wide in any location as it communicates with the satellite. However once it's activated it will be transmitting signal for 24 hours. If you are in a distant location that search and rescue needs more than 24 hours to find you then we recommend getting any of our EPIRBs, GlobalFix V4, Pro, or iPro. They last from 48 to 65 hours.
Question:	Once activated, is there any type of confirmation that your signal has been received
Answer:	The unit will keep blinking while the signal is been transmitted. There is no return confirmation only sending out. However, you are able to test the unit before going out on a trip by performing a self-test.
Question:	how difficult would it be to accidentally activate this device
Answer:	I'd say fairly difficult. That yellow flap on the front protects the activation mechanism and the spring is fairly robust.
Question:	will it work from inside a car or rv
Answer:	Yes. It is a radio frequency- sat freq. may not work inside a cave, deep and narrow canyon, or below a multi-level parking garage.

Answer:	Yes, so long as both Spot X units have been activated with a separate service plan. Please note that satellite messages can take anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes to send and receive their messages - depending on several factors, the most important being where the overhead satellites are located relative to your location(s) and your Spot X having a clear view of the sky above it.
Question:	can you see where someone is without creating a rescue mission
Answer:	If the owner/user of the Spot X has provided you with their unique number and you can access the internet, you can see where they are (as of when the Spot X last pinged the satellite with it's location).
Question:	I didn’t read anything about being able to make phone calls is that not included with this device

Answer:	These are not real Fox Racing gloves. They're a terrible knock off and blatant violation of copyright laws by using Fox's logo. Do not buy these and support these counterfeiters. Spend a few extra dollars for REAL Fox Racing gloves with actual quality standards.
Question:	Ia there an "on/off" manual switch
Answer:	There's no correlation between age and hand size really.
Question:	is there a depth rating on this? can you use for scuba diving
Answer:	No, not waterproof.
Question:	Does it have coast guard approved marked on it
Answer:	It used for riding the bike. Why would you be wearing it on a touch screen?

User questions & answers

Question:	Is there a added cost to use this item
Answer:	Yes, you can purchase, “ Premium Service “, which is about $30.00/ year.( I do have it). You can make settings with a Premium that will remind you ,that you left something behind,(via cell text). Premium will also show you a map of where the last place your item was while you were last in range of it. You can then go to that area and hope your back in range of it’s Bluetooth and Find it! For $30./ year, if it helps me find just one item that got lost,(and had a Tile ), It would be worth every penny.
Question:	Can I use the tile to locate the septic tank in a home
Answer:	Hello there, That's a great question and definitely a rare one! Now locating the septic tank could be a bit tricky. A few variables could affect the Bluetooth connection as well as the water resistance. With the Tle Pro 2020 just being water resistant, the possibility of it taking in liquid is likely. If you were to attempt using Tile to track it, the best option would be a Tile Sticker due to its size and waterproof rating. You can find out more about Sticker by visiting the following link: https://tileteam.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360036881673 Tile uses Bluetooth to keep track of your things, so it can find something that is within up to a 150 ft range(400 for the Tile Pro!). It's important to note that while Tile has the ability to reliably track personal belongings, it wasn't specifically designed for locating septic tanks underground. I hope this helps! All the best, DF
Question:	If I get a 4 pack, can I give them to people in 4 different households
Answer:	Hi there, That's an interesting question! If you mean, you'd be purchasing a 4-pack of tiles then each person creating their own Tile account and activating the Tile you gifted -- Sure can! Once they've created their own account they can refer to the following link on adding the Tile to their account: https://tileteam.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/215238618. Hope that helps! All the best, DF
Question:	Is there any warning that your battery is getting low on the Tile Pro
Answer:	Nope. If you don't check them frequently you'll only find out your batteries are low when the app tells you the item hasn't checked in for a few days/weeks. That's the achilles heel for these things. When you actually lose something and need to use the app to find it- then it will tell you the batteries are dead. I'm buying a new set of keys and key fob today for my car because the battery died and I didn't realize it until my keys were lost. I paid for the 'premium' version to see my tracking history and looks like the battery has been dead for a month. I would have really liked a warning that the battery was low before then. I then found out 4 of my other tiles have dead batteries, but the battery replacement service is based on time and not actual battery life so I had to replace all those batteries on my own even when paying for the premium service. So unless you're checking the battery yourself every day you're out of luck when the battery dies. I bought 8 tiles total last year, pro and regular and only half of the batteries lasted a full year. I would replace them every 6 months on a high value item like car keys.
