Mini 2 contacts issue.

Hi, just purchased a mini 2. Having problems setting up contacts. I've looked for info but still confused. I've entered personal contacts by way of name and phone number via Garmin Explore app, but on my mini 2 I can't find a contacts list.

Did you pair your mini2 to your phone? You will also need to set up a Garmin account which is email tied to you, and you’re going to want the Garmin explore website as that is the main place to look at your account and make changes to things. To find your contacts list on your mini, press the top right button, you’ll see send message, press the top right button again, scroll down using the bottom left button and you’ll see your contacts if they are there.

I've activated the unit so I guess that means my phone is paired?

What do you mean by activated? Have you set up an inreach plan? As far as checking to see if it is paired, in your phone settings under Bluetooth can you find your mini 2 and does it show connected? Is your phone iOS or android? Inreach mini2 manual www8.garmin.com/.../inReach_Mini_2_OM_EN-US.pdf read this on pairing support.garmin.com/.../
