IntroductIon > WarnIngs and cautIons
Warnings and Cautions
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
520/530 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 ofcial 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 520/530 at your own risk. To reduce the risk of
unsafe operation, carefully review and understand all aspects
of this Owner’s Manual. When in actual use, carefully compare
indications from the Rino 520/530 to all available navigation
sources, including the information from other NAVAIDs, visual
sightings, charts, etc. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies
before continuing navigation.
WARNING: The Rino 520/530 contains a lithium-ion
rechargeable battery pack. The battery used in this device may
present a risk of re or chemical burn if mistreated. Do not
ii Rino® 520/530 Owner’s Manual
disassemble, heat above 140°F (60°C), or incinerate.
WARNING: If the original battery pack must be replaced, dispose
of the used battery properly. Contact your local waste disposal
department for information on proper disposal of lithium-ion
batteries. Keep used batteries away from children. Do not
disassemble or dispose of batteries in re.
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 PRUDENTLY. THIS PRODUCT IS
INTENDED TO BE USED ONLY AS A NAVIGATIONAL AID
AND MUST NOT BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE REQUIRING
PRECISE MEASUREMENT OF DIRECTION, DISTANCE,
LOCATION, OR TOPOGRAPHY.
IntroductIon > WarnIngs and cautIons
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 Measurements (NCRP) Report 86; International Commission
on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996. Those
standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations
of the relevant scientic 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).
Rino® 520/530 Owner’s Manual iii
For body-worn and face-held operation, this radio demonstrates
compliance and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for
uncontrolled exposure (general population) when used with
approved accessories supplied with or designed for this product.
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
Antenna Care—Use only the supplied antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modications, 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
IntroductIon > WarnIngs and cautIons
the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference, and
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 RF 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.
iv Rino® 520/530 Owner’s Manual
Commercial Aircraft—Many commercial airlines prohibit the
use of FRS/GMRS 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
re resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not
always clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gasoline
stations, below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities; vehicles using liqueed 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 65. If you have any
questions or would like additional information, please refer to our
Web site at http://www.garmin.com/prop65.
Because the Garmin Rino 520/530 can be used for vehicular
navigation, important safety considerations must be followed.
Please read and observe the following instructions.
WARNING: For use in vehicles, it is the sole responsibility of
the owner/operator of a vehicle with the Rino 520/530 installed to
place and secure the device so it will not interfere with the vehicle
operating controls and safety devices, obstruct the driver’s view
of driving conditions, or cause personal injury in the event of an
accident.

communication with other Rinos is necessary.
The Radio Page also provides access to the Weather
Radio (available in Rino 530 only), which provides
a constant update of current weather conditions by
receiving NOAA weather broadcasts for your area. The
Weather Alert feature further enhances the Weather Radio
by automatically notifying you of any weather alerts,
even when the Weather Radio is not is use and the FRS/
GMRS radio is not transmitting or receiving an audio
transmission. These features are helpful while outdoors or
planning any trips or activities.
Initializing the Rino 520/530
To take full advantage of the Rino 520/530 features,
the GPS receiver must be initialized. The initialization
process allows the Rino 520/530 to receive and store

Setting the Channel and Code
The Rino 520/530 has a total of 22 channels (not
including GMRS repeater channels) and 38 codes to
select from using the Channel and Code elds. Channels
1–7 and 15-22 are GMRS channels, 8-14 are FRS
channels, and 15R–22R are GMRS repeater channels
(repeater channels are available on U.S. units only and
are disabled by default). To communicate with other Rino
and FRS/GMRS users, you must be on the same channel
and 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 may
be found in the “Appendix.”
Squelch codes allow you to hear calls from only specic
persons. Thirty-eight (38) Codes (called Continuous
Tone Controlled Squelch System or CTCSS) allow
your Rino 520/530 to ignore unwanted calls from other
persons using the same channel. Simply select the same
code (number) as selected by the other person(s) with
which you plan to communicate.
Select from FRS 8–14, GMRS 1-7 & 15–22,
and 15R–22R GMRS repeater channels (with
Repeater Channels enabled).
NOTE: Codes do not cause your conversation to be
private. They only allow you to lter out other users
on the same channel, so you only hear the radios you
want to hear. Codes on are not a scrambling system!
Refer to the section on Voice Scramble operation.

Setting the code to 0 (code off) allows 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
the “Appendix” for a table listing all of the 38 Codes and
their frequencies.
As you change channels, the Rino 520/530 remembers
the last channel/code combination that you were using.
For example, you may set the unit channel to 5 and code

Choose from 38 codes. Setting
the unit to zero will allow you to
hear all transmissions on that
channel, but you must be on the
same code to radio back.

Scanning and Monitoring
The Scan option allows you to scan through the available
channels for activity. As the unit scans and detects
activity on a channel, it pauses on that channel/code for
a few seconds, then continues scanning. If you transmit
at that time you will be on that channel. When the Rino
520/530 is scanning and it receives an incoming signal,
the Rino 520/530 automatically decodes the Code used
by the incoming signal. The Rino 520/530 then uses that
Code when it transmits back to that unit. However, if you
transmit when the scan has not paused, the transmission
uses the channel set before scanning.
You may use the Set Scanlist option to pick which
channels/codes to scan. Scanning through all channels
can take time: Selecting only specic channels/codes
decreases the scan time and helps prevent the chances
of missing a transmission. The Scanlist also has Option
Menu choices to Scan Current Codes or Scan All Codes.
The Monitor option lets you listen to a single channel for
all activity, including static and weak signals. The Rino
requires the user to adjust the squelch for a frequency
to lter out unwanted noise. Using the Monitor option
temporarily turns off the squelch, allowing you to hear
the open channel. If you see an “Activity...” message,
there is activity on your selected channel, but the
incoming signal does not match the Code your unit is
using. You may choose to monitor a channel if you want
to hear all the activity on a channel.
To scan or monitor a channel(s):
1. Using the Thumb Stick, highlight the Scan or
Monitor button and then press the Thumb Stick
In. Scan starts searching through the available
channels. Monitor opens the channel 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.

Compass Page
The Compass Page provides active guidance with a
rotating compass ring that shows your course (heading)
while you are moving and a bearing pointer to indicate
the current direction to your destination (bearing) relative
to the course.
The Data Fields at the top of the page provide you with
navigation information. The list of data eld choices and
denitions may be found in the “Appendix.”
The Compass Ring functions as a magnetic compass
when you are stationary (Rino 530 only). When you are
moving, the heading is controlled by the GPS receiver
(based upon settings customized in the Heading Setup
Page).
Using the Compass Page
The two main components of the Compass Page are the
Bearing Pointer and Compass Ring. The Bearing Pointer
always points directly to the destination, no matter what
your current location might be. The Compass Ring
displays your heading.

While you are navigating a route, the bearing pointer
indicates the direction (a bent arrow) of the turn to the
next point in the route as well as the direction to the
current point when you get within 15 seconds Estimated
Time of Arrival of the current point.
For example, if the arrow is pointing straight up, you
are going directly to your destination. If it points any
direction other than up, turn and move towards the
direction the arrow is pointing until it points up, and
then continue in that direction. If you are using the
Course Pointer option instead and you drift away from
the original line of travel to your destination, the Course
Deviation Indicator (CDI) provides graphic indication of
drift (right or left) and displays the distance off course.
When you are not on an active GoTo, Track, or Route
(in other words, not traveling to a recorded destination),
the Compass Ring displays your heading while you are
moving, but the data elds at the top of the page will not
display any destination related data, such as Estimated
