In battery save mode, the screen shuts off when the backlight times out. You can select to turn on the
screen.
Acquiring GPS Signals
When you turn on your navigation device, the GPS receiver must collect satellite data and establish the current
location. The time required to acquire satellite signals varies based on several factors, including how far you are
from the location where you last used your navigation device, whether you have a clear view of the sky, and how
long it has been since you last used your navigation device. The first time you turn on your navigation device, it
may take several minutes to acquire satellite signals.
1Turn on the device.
2Wait while the device locates satellites.
3If necessary, go to an open area, away from tall buildings and trees.
in the status bar indicates the satellite signal strength. When at least half the bars are filled, the device is
ready for navigation.
Radio
In the United States, this device uses General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) for two-way communication with
other compatible radio devices.
In Canada, this device uses Family Radio Service (FRS) and General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) for two-way
communication with other compatible radio devices.
In Australia, this device uses UHF Citizen Band Radio Service (UHF CBRS), and in New Zealand, this device uses
UHF Personal Radio Service (PRS) for two-way communication with other compatible radio devices.
When communicating with other Rino radio devices, additional features are available.
Transmitting
To communicate with other Rino users or compatible radio devices, you must be on the same channel and code
(Channels and Codes, page8).
1Hold PTT.
2Speak into the front of the device.
3After you are finished speaking, release PTT.
The radio transmits your position information. You cannot hear incoming transmissions until your
transmission is complete. A roger tone sounds on your radio and on the radios receiving your transmission
to confirm that the transmission is complete.
NOTE: You can change or disable the roger tone (Setting the Device Tones, page34).
The Radio App
Using the radio app, you can view information about the radio, control the radio channel and squelch codes, and
customize the radio features.
Icons along the top of the radio page provide useful information about the radio.
: Indicates the activity status of the radio. When an arrow is pointing at the radio, the radio is receiving a
transmission. When an arrow is pointing away from the radio, the radio is transmitting.
: The radio is ready to transmit position information (Peer-to-Peer Positioning, page10).
: Weather alerts are enabled (Radio App Settings, page12).
: The radio is muted (Adjusting the Radio Volume, page8).

Adjusting the Squelch Level
You can adjust the sensitivity level of the squelch to filter out unwanted background noise. When you increase
the squelch level, fewer weak background signals are heard.
1From any screen, select the volume keys.
The volume screen appears.
2Select under the Squelch bar.
You should increase the squelch level until you no longer hear the unwanted background noise.
Channels and Codes
To communicate with other Rino and GMRS, GMRS/FRS, or UHF CBRS/PRS radio users, you must be on the
same channel.
Rino devices are compatible with third-party radios as long as the radios use standard frequencies. A list of all
frequencies used by this device is available in the product specifications (Radio Frequency Charts, page42).
NOTE: GMRS frequencies are regulated by the FCC in the United States. To transmit on GMRS frequencies, you
must obtain a license from the FCC (FCC Licensing Information, page51).

8 Radio

Squelch codes allow you to filter calls from other users on the same channel, so you hear only the radios you
want to hear. Calls on the channel that are not using the same squelch code in the same squelch tone mode are
ignored.
NOTE: Squelch codes do not make your conversation private. Anyone on the same channel can hear your
conversation.
Squelch Tone Mode Squelch Codes
Continuous Tone Controlled Squelch System

squelch tone mode (Changing the Squelch Tone Mode, page9).
Changing the Squelch Tone Mode
This device can use two types of squelch tone modes, CTCSS and DCS. If you cannot hear calls on the same
channel with the same code, make sure all the radios are using the same squelch tone mode.
1From the radio app, select > Radio Setup > Squelch Tone Mode.
2Select a squelch tone mode.

2Select Monitor.
Scanning Channels
You can scan the channels for voice activity. This can help you find a channel with light activity for your group to
use, or to find other radio users in the area.
From the radio app, select Scan.
Configuring the Scan List
By default, all available channels are included when scanning. You can configure the scan list to include only
specific channels and squelch codes. Selecting specific channels and codes reduces the scan time and may
help prevent a missed transmission.
1From the radio app, select > Scanlist Setup.
2Select one or more channels to remove from the list.
3To restrict the scan to the current squelch code, select > Scan Current Codes (optional).
4Select .
Radio 9

Repeater Channels
This device can use GMRS repeater channels in the United States, and CBRS/PRS repeater channels in Australia
and New Zealand. GMRS repeater channels are not available in Canada.
Repeater channels use repeaters, when available, to enable communication around obstacles or increase
transmission distance. Position reporting is not allowed by the FCC on GMRS repeater channels.
Peer-to-Peer Positioning
You can send your location information to other Rino users using peer-to-peer positioning. Through peer-to-peer
positioning, you can also track the movement of other Rino users on the same channel and code, and navigate
to their locations.
Peer-to-peer positioning is enabled by default, and your position information is sent to other Rino users on the
same channel and code when you press the PTT key (push-to-talk) or the key (call).
NOTE: You can send location information only once every 30 seconds, due to FCC restrictions.
After you send location information, the icon changes to a countdown timer so you know when location
information can be sent again.
