government for any restrictions of FRS or GMRS use.
For questions concerning the license application, contact the FCC at 1-888-CALL-FCC (1-888-225-5322)
Warnings and Precautions
The GPS system is operated by the United States
government, which is solely responsible for its accuracy
and maintenance. The system is subject to changes which
could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS
equipment. Although the Garmin Rino 130 is a precision
electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID), any NAVAID can be
misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.
The electronic chart is an aid to navigation and is
designed to facilitate the use of authorized government
charts, not replace them. Only offi cial government charts
and notices to mariners contain all information needed for
safe navigation—and, as always, the user is responsible for
Preliminary
their prudent use.
Use the Rino 130 at your own risk. To reduce the risk
of unsafe operation, carefully review and understand all
aspects of this Owner’s Manual—and thoroughly practice
operation using the Demo mode prior to actual use. When
in actual use, carefully compare indications from the Rino
130 to all available navigation sources, including the
information from other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, charts,
etc. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies before
continuing navigation.

MAP DATA INFORMATION:
One of the goals of Garmin is
to provide customers with the
most complete and accurate
cartography that is available to
us at a reasonable cost. We use
a combination of governmental
and private data sources, which
we identify (as required) in
product literature and copyright
messages displayed to the
consumer. Virtually all data
sources contain inaccurate
or incomplete data to some
degree. This is particularly true
outside the United States, where
complete and accurate digital
data is either not available or
prohibitively expensive.
CAUTION: IT IS THE USER’S
RESPONSIBILITY TO USE
THIS PRODUCT PRU-
DENTLY. THIS PRODUCT
IS INTENDED TO BE USED
ONLY AS A NAVIGATIONAL
Important: Read this information before using your Rino.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals - Your wire-
less handheld radio is a low power radio transmitter
and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends
out radio frequency (RF) signals.In August 1996, The
Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted
RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld
wireless radios. Those guidelines are consistent with safety
standards previously set by both U.S. and international
standards bodies: American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992; National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) Report 86;
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP) 1996. Those standards were based
on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant
scientifi c literature. For example, over 130 scientists,
engineers, and physicians from universities, government
health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body
of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).The
design of your radio complies with the FCC guidelines
(and those standards).
Antenna Care - Use only the supplied or an approved
replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifi cations, or attachments could damage the radio and may
violate FCC regulations. Do not use any radio that has a
damaged antenna, because if it comes into contact with
your skin, a minor burn can result.
Bectronic Devices - Most modern electronic equipment
is shielded from RF signals. However, certain equipment
may not be shielded against the RF signals from your
wireless radio.
Pacemakers - The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six
inches (6”) be maintained between a handheld wireless
radio and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with
the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent
with the independent research by and recommendations
of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers should ALWAYS keep the radio more than six inches
from their pacemaker when the radio is turned ON should
not carry the radio in a breast pocket should use the ear
opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference should turn the radio OFF immediately if you
have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place
Hearing Aids - Some digital wireless radios may interfere
with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference,
you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to
discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices - If you use any other personal
medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device
to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF
energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your radio OFF in health care facilities when any
regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment
that could be sensitive to external IRF energy.
Vehicles - RF signals may affect improperly installed or
inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles.
Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer
of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Posted Facilities - Turn your radio OFF in any facility
where posted notices so require.
Commercial Aircraft - Many commercial airlines prohibit
the use of FRS radios on board. Switch OFF your radio
before boarding an aircraft or check the airline rules.
Blasting Areas - To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your radio OFF when in a “blasting area” or in
areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and
instructions.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres - Turn your radio
OFF and do not remove your battery when you are in any
area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Obey all
signs and instructions. Sparks from your battery in such
areas could cause an explosion or fi re resulting in bodily
injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often,
but not always clearly marked. They include fueling
ares such as gasoline stations, below deck on boats, fuel
or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using
liquefi ed petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as

The Rino has a total of 22 channels and 38 squelch
codes to select from using the ‘Channel’ and ‘Code’ fi elds.
Channels 1-14 are for FRS and 15-22 are for GMRS
(disabled by default). To communicate with other Rino
and FRS/GMRS users, you must be on the same Channel
and Code. Garmin Rino units will work with 3rd party
FRS/GMRS radios, provided the other radios use standard
FRS/GMRS frequencies. A chart of the Rino frequencies
may be found in Appendix H.
Squelch codes allow you to hear calls from only specifi c
persons. Thirty-eight Squelch Codes (called Continuous
Tone Controlled Squelch System or CTCSS) allows your
Rino to ignore unwanted calls from other persons who are
using the same channel. Simply select the same squelch
code (number) as selected by the other person(s) you
desire to communicate with. NOTE: Squelch codes do
Channels & Codes
not cause your conversation to be private. They only
allow you to fi lter out other users on the same channel, so you only hear the radios you want to. Squelch
Codes are not a scrambling system! Setting the code to 0
(squelch code off) will allow you to hear all activity on the
selected channel, but you must be set to the same code
as the other person(s) to transmit back. See Appendix H
for a table listing all of the 38 Squelch Codes and their
frequencies.
As you change the main channels, the Rino will
remember the last channel/squelch code combination
that you were using. For example, you may set the unit
to Channel 5, squelch code 21, then change the main
channel to 8 and that code to 2. If you change the channel back to 5, the squelch code will change back to its
previous setting of 21.

Scan and Monitor - Overview
The ‘Scan’ option allows you to scan through the
available channels for voice activity. As the unit scans and
receives a signal (or if you transmit), it will stop on that
channel/code for a few seconds, then continue scanning. You may also use the Set Scanlist option to pick
which channels/codes to scan. Since it can take time to
scan through the all the channels, selecting only specifi c
channels/codes will decrease the scan time. Decreasing scan
time will help prevent the chances of missing a transmission. The Scanlist also has Option Menu choices to ‘Scan
Current Codes’ or ‘Scan All Codes’. Choosing ‘Scan Current
Codes’ will scan only the Channel and Code combination
in memory
The ‘Monitor’ option lets you listen to a single channel
for any activity, including static and weak voice signals.
The Rino series will automatically squelch a frequency to
fi lter out unwanted noise. Using the Monitor option will
temporarily turn off the automatic squelch allowing you
to hear the open channel. If you see a broken transmission
symbol (see pg. 9), you may be receiving a signal too weak
to trigger the unit’s squelch. You might choose this option
if a signal is getting out of range or weak.
To Scan or Monitor a channel(s):
1. Using the CLICK STICK, highlight the ‘Scan’
or ‘Monitor’ button and then press the CLICK
STICK
key IN. ‘Scan’ will start searching through the
available channels. ‘Monitor’ will open the channel

Informational Picture - Overview
The Informational Picture on the bottom half of screen
features Garmin’s Mr. Mark Waypoint to show current
GPS & radio status and radio actions. As you operate the
unit, the graphics will change depending on what actions
you are taking or the unit settings.
Four satellites are shown on at the top of the picture
along with descriptive text to indicate GPS reception
status. As the unit collects satellite information, the satellite symbols will fl ash alternately until all four are steady
indicating a 3D position fi x. The more satellites that are
steady, the better your position fi x.
As radio signals come in, signal wave symbols will
display to the left of Mark Waypoint. Fragmented (or
broken) signal symbols are shown to indicate activity on
that channel. Audio remains muted because the incoming
signal does not match the squelch code your unit is set to.
The Mark Waypoint fi gure will display several different icons, depending on what you are doing. A radio
in Mark’s hand indicates the radio is ready to use. A fl ag
in his other hand means the unit is ready to transmit its
position (GPS must be On to use this feature.) As you
transmit, you will see radio waves around Mark’s radio.
When your peer-to-peer transmission is sent, Mark will
raise the fl ag in his hand. As positions are received, a fl ag
will briefl y appear on top of the hill to the left.

it’s location to another Rino, this is called Peer-to-Peer positioning. With peer-to-peer enabled (see pg. 8) and you
have a GPS position (see pg. 48), whenever you press and
release either the CALL key or the TALK key, the Rino
will automatically send out its location. This information
will be available to all other Rino users that are monitoring the same channel and code. This feature allows you to
track the movement of other Rino users and even navigate
to their location. Locations may only be sent once
every 10 seconds, due to FCC restrictions.
To transmit your location to other Rino
users:
1. With ‘Send Location’ enabled (see pg. 8), press and
release either the TALK or CALL buttons. You will
see a fl ag on the top Status Bar or in Mark’s hand
when the unit is ready to transmit its position.
New Contact Page - Overview
The fi rst time that a signal is received from another
Rino user, a ‘New Contact’ page will be displayed. From
the New Contact page you can show their location on
your map, ‘Goto’ their location, or select ‘OK’ to add
them to your contact list. The Rino can manage up to 50
contacts at any time. Each time that you receive a signal
from a contact, your map will be updated showing their
new position and a Track Log of their movement will
be created and shown on your map (see pg. 45). After a
contact has been established, a “<contact name> Updated”
message will briefl y appear at the bottom of your display
each time the contact updates. You may also review each
contact’s information such as Direction, Elevation, Timestamp, Location and enter Notes up to 30 characters.
All contacts are listed on a Contact List Page and also
displayed in the Contact Bar on the Map Page (see pg.
14). Contacts behave like and count towards the 500
maximum waypoint total.
1. When a new contact is received, the New Contact
page will appear. Highlight ‘OK’ and press IN on the
CLICK STICK. If you do not OK the contact, it will
not be saved.
To review a contact and contact details:
1. From the Map Page, highlight the desired contact of
the Contact Bar and press IN on the CLICK STICK.
As you highlight the contacts on the Contact Bar,
the Map page will center the map on that contact
and display its name, direction and distance near
the top of the screen.

Another feature is the ability to send a specifi c location
to other Rino users. This can come in handy if you are
trying to round-up the group, or just want to meet at a
specifi c location. You may send any point found from
the Find ‘N Go menu. If the unit needs to wait until 10
seconds have elapsed since the last position transmission,
a “Waiting to send location...” message will appear until
the unit is able to transmit. If a location is sent more than
once, a number will automatically be added to the end of
the name (CAMP, CAMP 1, CAMP 2, etc.).
To send a location:
1. Press the CLICK STICK IN and hold it until the
Shortcuts Menu is displayed.
2. Highlight “‘Find ‘N’ Go’” and press the CLICK STICK IN.
3. Highlight the desired category and press the CLICK STICK IN. ( For the Contacts List, select the desired
contact and press the CLICK STICK IN.)
4. Depending on which category you select, highlight
the desired item and press IN on the CLICK STICK to
display the Information page for that item.
5. From the Information Page, highlight the Options
Menu in the upper right and press IN on the CLICK
STICK.
6. Highlight ‘Send Location’ and press IN again. The
unit will now send the point to the other Rino users
on your channel/code. If using the Scramble feature,
receiving radios must also have Scramble enabled.
The Map Page displays your present position and
direction of movement using a triangular ‘Position Icon’
that is centered on the map. As you travel the map display
leaves a “trail” (track log) of your movements.
The map also displays geographic details such as
rivers, lakes, highways, and towns. The map shown
above displays a higher level of detail than the basemap
provided with the unit (i.e. residential streets, parks, etc.),
because Garmin MapSource data has been downloaded to
the unit using a CD-ROM mapping program.
On the right side of the Map Page, you can choose to
show either the Contact Bar (see also pg. 12), Data Fields
or show the Map Only. As you highlight the contacts on
the Contact Bar, the Map page will center the map on that
contact and display its name, direction and distance near
the top of the screen.

To allow you to view the map from different perspectives, the scale can be changed from 20 feet to 500 miles.
The CLICK STICK and Z (Zoom) button on the front
right of the unit allow you to zoom in or out on the map.
Pressing the Z (Zoom) button from any page (other than
the Map Page) will automatically take you to the Map
Page. A lower zoom scale displays less area but more map
detail, while a higher zoom scale shows you a larger area
with less map detail.
To change scales on the Map Page:
1. Use the CLICK STICK and Z (Zoom) button to
change the map scale in order to show more map
area with less detail or less map area with more
detail.
2. Press and hold UP or DOWN on the CLICK STICK to
zoom the map scale rapidly.

The map scale in the lower left hand side of the
display is shown in units of measurement selected in the
‘Units’ fi eld of the Unit Setup Page (not to be confused
with the Map Setup Page). If you zoom in so far that the
resolution of the map data is exceeded and the appearance of the map is no longer accurate, the word, “overzoom” displays just below the map scale.
In many instances the map displays an ‘Accuracy
Circle’ surrounding the ‘Position Icon’. The Rino 130
uses both map resolution and GPS accuracy in defi ning
your location to a point within the circle. The smaller the
circle, the more accurate your location.
When using the ‘Pan Map’ feature, a small outline
arrow (Map Pointer) can be moved about the page to
Preliminary
highlight and identify map items or to scroll the map to
view areas not shown on the display screen.
Four optional Data fi elds on the right side of the page
can be programmed to provide a variety of travel and
navigation information.
More detailed map features as well as information
about those features can be downloaded to the unit from
a Garmin MapSource CD-ROM. When using MapSource
data, the word ‘mapsource’ displays below the map scale
whenever you zoom in to view map details.

The Map Page pan function allows you to display an
arrow used to point at and identify items on the map,
and to move the map in order to view areas beyond the
current viewing area on the display.
The map panning function is activated from the Options Menu on the Map Page. The CLICK STICK moves
the panning arrow (also referred to as the map pointer)
in the desired direction on the map page. If the arrow
moves to the edge of the map display, the map also moves
to reveal more area and a busy hourglass appears by the
cursor while the data is drawn on the screen.
Whenever the panning arrow is placed on a map item,
the name of that item is highlighted. This feature applies
to waypoints, roads, lakes, rivers...nearly everything that
is displayed.
Pressing the CLICK STICK marks the arrow location
or displays the map item information page. An Options
Menu allows you to: send the location of that item,
project a waypoint from it, save it as a waypoint, set a
proximity circle around it, add it to a route, or view the
sun and moon phase or view hunt and fi sh information
from it. On-screen buttons at the bottom of the page allow you to Goto the map item, display it on the map or to
select ‘OK’ and return to the Map Page.
