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.

maintenance. The system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. Although the Garmin Rino 110 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 their prudent use.

Use the Rino 110 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 110 to all available navigation sources, including the information from other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, charts,

Introduction

Warnings & Precautions

Important: Read this information before using your Rino.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals - Your wireless

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 120 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.

Electronic 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 grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

WARNING: This product, its packaging, and its components contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm. This Notice is being provided in accordance with California’s Proposition

Select from FRS channels

1-14 or GMRS 15-22.

Channel and Code - Overview

The Rino has a total of 22 channels (14 on Canadian units) 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 and not available on Canadian units). To communicate with other Rino and FRS/GMRS users, you must be on the same Channel and Code. Garmin Rino units will work with many 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

Channels & Codes

/ Scan & Monitor

do 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.

See Appendix A for more information on FRS/GMRS and its operational aspects.

To change the Channel and/or Code:

1. Using the THUMB STICK, highlight the ‘Channel’ or ‘Code’ field and then press the THUMB STICK key IN. This will show a list of available channels/codes.

3. Once you have highlighted the desired selection, press IN on the THUMB STICK.

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 THUMB STICK, highlight the ‘Scan’ or ‘Monitor’ button and then press the THUMB STICK key IN. ‘Scan’ will start searching through the available channels. ‘Monitor’ will open the channel in order to listen to any radio transmissions on that channel.

2. To stop using either option, highlight the button with the THUMB STICK and press IN.

To Setup a Scanlist:

1. Using the THUMB STICK, highlight the Options Menu on-screen button and press IN. Highlight ‘Setup Scanlist’ and press IN on the THUMB STICK.

2. To add/remove a channel from the list, highlight the channel and press IN on the THUMB STICK to add/remove the check mark in front of the name. Only channels that are checked will be scanned.

3. To Select/Clear All channels, highlight either the ‘Select All’ or ‘Clear All’ buttons and press IN on the THUMB STICK.

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 or be manually polled (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.

Position Polling - Overview

The Rino’s most unique feature is being able to manually poll (or query) the location of another Rino. With polling enabled and a GPS position, Rino users can determine each other’s location from either their Map or the Contact Details pages. This feature allows you to track the movement of other Rino users and even navigate to their location. This information will be available to all other Rino users that are monitoring the same channel and code. Location polls may only be sent from a single

Rino once every 30 seconds, due to FCC restrictions.

However, a single Rino may be queried by multiple Rinos with no restrictions.

Polling only recognizes the user symbol and ﬁ rst 4 characters of the ‘My ID’ name for each contact. If two Rino’s ﬁ rst 4 name characters and user symbols are identical, the wrong unit may respond to a poll. Use either different characters in the ﬁ rst 4 spaces of the name or a different user symbol to ensure proper polling response. With polling disabled on a radio, it is still possible to poll other Rinos (if they are enabled).

To enable/disable polling:

1. From the Radio Page, highlight the Option Menu on-screen button at the top of the display screen and then press IN on the THUMB STICK to open the menu.

2. Highlight ‘Setup Radio’ and then press IN on the THUMB STICK.

3. Highlight the field below ‘Respond To Polling’ and press IN on the THUMB STICK.

4. Choose ‘On’ to enable or ‘Off’ to disable polling and press IN on the THUMB STICK.

In order to poll a position from another Rino, they must ﬁ rst be established as a Contact. A poll request may only be sent once every 30 seconds. The Peer-To-Peer On/Location Ready to Send ﬂ ag will appear in the top Status Bar when the unit is ready to poll.

To poll the position of another Rino user:

1. From the Map Page, highlight the desired contact of the Contact Bar with the THUMB STICK. (contd.)

FCC regulations prohibit automatic or timed interval polling.

2. Highlight ‘Poll Location’ and press the THUMB STICK IN to poll that contact. If it has been less than 30 seconds since the last poll, a “Waiting to send poll request...” message will appear. Once the 30 second limit has expired, the message will disappear and the unit will then send the poll request.

Once a poll is sent, it will take a few seconds for the polled radio to respond. After a contact has been polled, a “<contact name> Updated” message will brieﬂ y appear at the bottom of your display each time the contact updates.

Peer-to-Peer - Overview

Another unique feature or the Rino is being able to send it’s location to another Rino, which is called Peer-toPeer positioning. With peer-to-peer enabled (see pg. 8) and you have a GPS position (see pg. 50), whenever you press and release either the CALL key or the TALK key, your Rino will 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 30 seconds, due to FCC restrictions. The Peer-To-Peer On/Location Ready to Send ﬂ ag will appear in the top Status Bar when the unit is ready to send its location

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 flag on the top Status Bar or in Mark’s hand when the unit is ready to transmit its position.

Position Reporting

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 via peer-to-peer or polling. 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. 16). Contacts behave like and count towards the 500 maximum waypoint total.

To accept a new contact:

1. When a new contact is received, the New Contact page will appear. Highlight ‘OK’ and press IN on the THUMB 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 THUMB 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.

2. Press the THUMB STICK IN and hold it until the Shortcuts Menu is displayed.

Send Location - Overview

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 30 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 THUMB STICK IN and hold it until the Shortcuts Menu is displayed.

2. Highlight “‘Find ‘N’ Go’” and press the THUMB STICK IN.

3. Highlight the desired category and press the THUMB STICK IN. ( For the Contacts List, select the

desired contact and press the THUMB STICK IN.)

4. Depending on which category you select, highlight the desired item and press IN on the THUMB 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 THUMB 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.

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 any waypoints, contacts or tracks, routes, etc. The map shown above displays Points of Interest (POI) data, because Garmin MapSource POI 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. 13), 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 view a Contact from the Map Page:

1. Highlight the Contact Icon using the THUMB STICK. Press IN if you want to view the details of

the Contact.

2. Press to the LEFT or RIGHT on the THUMB STICK in order to recenter the map on your current position.

To allow you to view the map from different perspectives, the scale can be changed from 20 feet to 500 miles. The THUMB 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 THUMB STICK and 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 THUMB STICK to

In many instances the map displays an ‘Accuracy Circle’ surrounding the ‘Position Icon’. The Rino 110 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 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 POI 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.
