INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing the Garmin® Rino® 120 (Radio
Integrated with Navigation for the Outdoors). To get the

most from your new Rino 120, read through the Quick
Start Guide first, then this Owner’s Manual to understand

all of the operating features.

The Quick Start Guide describes the process of setting
up your Rino 120 and some basic unit operations to
familiarize you with your new Rino 120 right out of the
box. The small size of the guide makes it perfect to take
with you!

This Owner’s Manual describes the Main Pages of the
Rino 120 and their options in detail. While the Owner’s
Manual provides some direction on how to select and
change items, its main intention is to describe each Main
Page, Option Menu, and feature in detail.

GETTING STARTED > UNDERSTANDING GPS

Understanding GPS

The Global Positioning System (GPS) consists of 24
satellites that circle the earth twice a day in a very precise
orbit and transmit information to Earth. The Rino 120
must continuously “see” at least three of these satellites
to calculate your location and track your movement. If
some of the satellites in view get blocked or “shaded,” the
receiver simply uses an alternate satellite to maintain the
location fix.

Because the Rino 120 relies on satellite signals to provide
you with navigation guidance, the receiver needs to
have an unobstructed, clear view of the sky for best
performance. In a nutshell, the GPS receiver’s view of the
sky generally determines how fast you get a location fix
or if you get a fix at all. GPS signals are relatively weak
and do not travel through rocks, buildings, people, or
metal: So, remember to keep a clear view of the sky at all
times for best performance.

Rino® 120 Owner’s Manual 7

Your Rino 120 needs to be given the opportunity to find
or AutoLocate itself: This is also called initializing the
receiver or unit.

Longer initialization (AutoLocate) is only necessary:

• The first time you use your Rino 120 (new from the
factory).

• After the receiver has been moved over 500 miles
with the power off from the last time you used it.

Once you initialize the unit to a location, it typically
computes a fix within a couple minutes.

Visit the Garmin Web site at
information on GPS.

www.garmin.com for more

UNIT OPERATION > RADIO PAGE

UNIT OPERATION

Initialization is automatic and should only take a few
minutes.

Radio Page

The Radio Page is the first of the default Main Pages.
This page provides the user interface for FRS (Family
Radio Service) and GMRS (General Mobile Radio
Service) radio operations. Garmin Rino units work
with 3rd party FRS/GMRS radios, provided the other
radios use standard FRS/GMRS frequencies. To take full
advantage of the Rino features, communicate with other
Rino users.

To

initialize the unit (acquire satellites):

1. Take the Rino 120 outside where it has an
unobstructed view of the sky and turn it on.

2. The unit begins to search for satellite signals.
“Tracking Satellites” is displayed while the unit is
initializing.

3. Initialization should take no more than five
minutes. When the GPS is initialized and ready
for navigation, the message “3D Accuracy” is
displayed on the Radio Page.

Also use the Radio Page to control and setup the radio,
view current settings, and see informational graphics of
the unit’s operation.

Initializing the Rino 120

To take full advantage of all of the Rino 120 features,
the GPS receiver must be initialized. The initialization
process allows the Rino 120 to receive and store satellite
information and begin using the satellites for navigation.

Setting the Channel and Squelch Code

The Rino 120 has a total of 22 channels (not including
GMRS repeater channels) and 38 squelch codes to select
from using the Channel and Code fields. Channels 1–14
are FRS channels, 15–22 are GMRS channels (disabled
by default in U.S. units), and 15R–22R are GMRS
repeater channels (U.S. units only, disabled by default).
To communicate with other Rino and FRS/GMRS users,
you must be on the same channel and squelch code.
Garmin Rino units work with 3rd party FRS/GMRS
radios, provided the other radios use standard FRS/
GMRS frequencies. A chart of Rino frequencies can be
found in the “Appendix.”

Squelch codes allow you to hear calls from only specific
persons. Thirty-eight (38) Squelch Codes (also called
Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System or
allow your Rino 120 to ignore unwanted calls from other
persons using the same channel. Be sure everyone you
will communicate with using your Rino has selected the
same squelch code (number).

Select from FRS 1–14, GMRS 15–22 (with GMRS
enabled), and 15R–22R GMRS repeater channels

(with GMRS and Repeater Channels enabled;

available in U.S. units only).

NOTE: Squelch codes do not cause your conversa­tion to be private. They only allow you to filter out
other users on the same channel, so you only hear
the radios you want to hear. Squelch Codes are not a
scrambling system!

Rino® 120 Owner’s Manual 11

UNIT OPERATION > RADIO PAGE

Setting the squelch code to 0 (squelch code off) allows
you to hear all activity on the selected channel, but
you must be set to the same squelch code as the other
person(s) to transmit back. See the “Appendix” for a table
listing all of the 38 Squelch Codes and their frequencies.

2. Scroll through the selections and highlight the
desired selection. Because not all the items fit in
the window, a slider bar on the right side indicates
your current position in the list.

3. Once you have highlighted the desired selection,
press the Thumb Stick In.

As you change the main channels, the Rino 120
remembers the last channel/squelch code combination
that you were using. For example, you may set the unit
channel to 5 and squelch code to 21, then change the
main channel to 8 and squelch code to 2. If you change
the channel back to 5, the squelch code changes back to
its previous setting of 21. See the “Appendix” for more
information on FRS/GMRS and its operational aspects.

To change the Channel and/or Squelch Code:

1. Using the Thumb Stick, highlight the Channel
or Code field and then press In to show a list of
available channels/squelch codes.

12 Rino® 120 Owner’s Manual

Choose from 38 squelch codes. Setting the unit
to zero will allow you to hear all transmissions

on that channel, but you must be on the same

squelch code to communicate back.

UNIT OPERATION > RADIO PAGE

Scanning and Monitoring

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 stops on that
channel/squelch code for a few seconds, then continues
scanning. When the Rino 120 is scanning and it receives
an incoming signal, the Rino 120 automatically decodes
the Squelch Code used by the incoming signal. The Rino
120 then uses that Squelch Code when it transmits back
to that unit.

helps 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 scans only the Channel and Squelch Code
combinations in memory.

The Monitor option lets you listen to a single channel
for any activity, including static and weak voice signals.
The Rino series automatically squelches a frequency
to filter out unwanted noise. Using the Monitor option
temporarily turns off the automatic squelch, allowing you
to hear all activity on channel.

If you see a broken transmission symbol ( ), there is
activity on your selected channel, but the incoming signal
does not match the Squelch Code your unit is using.

You may use the Set Scanlist option to pick which

Using the Rino 120 Radio Features

Your Rino 120 unit provides many features to enhance
your radio experience, such as transmitting locations and
receiving contact information. This section reviews some
of the advanced radio features. Refer to the “Features”
section for information on the features of the Rino 120.

To transmit your location to other Rino users:

1. Enable Send Location (see the “Setup Radio”
section).

2. Press and release either the Talk or Call key.
A flag on the top Status Bar or in Mark’s hand
indicates the unit is ready to transmit its position.

New Contact Page Overview

Peer-to-Peer Positioning

The Rino 120’s most unique feature is being able to send
its location to another Rino, which is called Peer-to-Peer
positioning. With peer-to-peer positioning enabled (see

page 15) and a GPS position (see the “Initializing the

Rino 120” section), whenever you press and release either
the Call key or the Talk key, the Rino 120 automatically
sends out its location. This information is available to all
other Rino users that are monitoring the same channel
and squelch 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 30
seconds due to FCC restrictions. Your Rino 120 responds
to polling requests from other units more frequently.

20 Rino® 120 Owner’s Manual

The first time that a signal is received from another Rino
user, the New Contact Page is displayed. From the New
Contact Page you can show their location on your Map,

Sending a Location

Another handy feature is the ability to send a specific
location to other Rino users. This comes in handy when
you are trying to round up the group or you want to meet
at a specific location. You may send any point found from
the Find ‘N Go menu. If the unit needs to wait until 30
seconds have elapsed since the last position transmission,
a “Waiting to send location...” message appears until the
unit is able to transmit. If a location is sent more than
once, a number is automatically added to the end of the
name, such as CAMP, CAMP 1, and CAMP 2.

UNIT OPERATION > TRACKS PAGE

Using the TracBack Feature

The TracBack feature allows you to return along a
traveled path (or another Rino user’s path) without
marking any waypoints. When you are ready to return
to where you started, the Rino 120 takes you back by
following the Track Log that you left behind. You can
save a total of 20 tracks in the unit memory. The Track
Log starts recording as soon as the unit gets a satellite
location fix and the Track Log feature is turned on. When
you no longer need a Track Log you can press the on­screen Clear button to remove it.

When the display reaches 100%, the most recent track
points start to overwrite the least recent if the default
setting Wrap When Full remains selected on the track
log setup. To avoid losing track points you want, save the
Track Log when it approaches the 99% mark. The active
track log stores up to 2,048 points.

The Saved Track Page displays the track and it can also
be displayed on the Main Map Page as you navigate. You
may save up to 20 tracks with 250 points per track in the
unit. Saved Contact tracks count towards this total. Tracks
are marked BEGIN and END.

If you want to keep a record of a certain track log or use
the TracBack feature, it is recommended that you clear
the Track Log before you start traveling. The percentage
of memory used by the current track log is displayed in
a window at the top of the page. After the Track Log is
cleared, it displays zero percent.

The temperature rating for the Rino 120 may exceed the usable
range of some batteries. Alkaline batteries can rupture at high
temperatures. External power can only be applied using the
Garmin Auto Power Adapter or PC Interface Cable with Auto
Power Adapter. These cables contain a 12 VDC to 4.5 VDC
voltage regulator. Modifications or other applications voids the
product warranty. Alkaline batteries lose a significant amount of
their capacity as temperature decreases. Extensive use of screen
backlighting and the radio significantly reduces battery life.
Different brands of batteries vary in performance.

APPENDIX > TRANSFERRING MAPSOURCE DATA

Transferring MapSource Data

If you have purchased a Garmin MapSource CD-ROM
mapping program, you may want to transfer detailed
map data before beginning use to provide your unit with
maximum Find features and mapping capability. The
Rino 120 accepts up to 8 MB of map data from most
MapSource products. It is not possible to transfer 3rd
party maps into Garmin products.

You cannot view multiple types of MapSource data in the
same location at the same time (one replaces the other if
there is an overlap). When you leave a MetroGuide area
for example and enter the area of a topographic map, the
display changes to contour lines. The same is true when
moving from a topo map to a MetroGuide map. The
BlueChart maps are at the top of the hierarchy and will
replace any other map information. Here is the list of the
hierarchy for your reference:

94 Rino® 120 Owner’s Manual

1. BlueChart

2. MetroGuide

3. Fishing Hot Spots

4. Points of Interest

5. U.S. Waterways & Lights

6. U.S. Topo

7. Roads and Recreation

8. WorldMap

Map data transfer requires the use of a PC, a Garmin
MapSource CD-ROM, and the PC Interface Cable with
RS-232 serial port connector supplied with this unit.
Follow detailed instructions for data transfer in the
MapSource User’s Manual.
