Introduction 1

In the United States and Canada, this device uses 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

Radio

Personal Radio Service (PRS) for two-way communication with other compatible radio devices.

When communicating with other Garmin® Rino devices, additional features are available.

Transmitting

To communicate with other Rino and GMRS or UHF CBRS/PRS radio users, you must be on the same channel and code (Channels and Codes, page 2).

Hold PTT.

Speak into the front of the device.

After you are finished speaking, release PTT.

After you release PTT, the radio transmits your position information, and 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 8).

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 12).

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 3).

: The radio is muted (Adjusting the Radio Volume, page 2).

Opening the Radio App

You can manage your channel, code, and other radio settings in the radio app.

From the home screen, select Radio.

Adjusting the Radio Volume

Select .

The volume screen appears. Use the Thumb Stick controller to select and adjust the

Volume.

Adjusting the Squelch Level

You can adjust the sensitivity level of the squelch to filter out background noise. When you adjust the squelch level higher, fewer weak background signals are heard.

When you hear unwanted background noise, select .

The volume screen appears. Use the Thumb Stick controller to select and adjust the slider

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 or UHF CBRS/PRS radio users, you must be on the same channel.

Rino devices are compatible with third-party GMRS or UHF CBRS/PRS radios as long as the radios use standard GMRS or CBRS/PRS frequencies. A list of all frequencies used by this device is available in the product specifications (Radio

Frequency Charts, page 11).

*Communication with another CB station is not authorized within operational range of a CB repeater

Squelch codes allow you to filter calls from other users on the same channel, so you hear only the radios you want to hear. The device has two different squelch modes, Continuous Tone Controlled Squelch System (CTCSS) and Digital-Coded Squelch (DCS). Calls on the channel that are not using the same squelch code in the same squelch mode are ignored.

NOTE: Squelch codes do not make your conversation private. Anyone on the same channel can hear your conversation.

Squelch Tone Mode

CTCSS 1 through 38

DCS Listed in the product specifications (Radio

Squelch Codes

Frequency Charts, page 11)

Selecting a Channel

From the radio app, select Channel.

Select a channel from the list.

Selecting a Squelch Code

From the radio app, select Code.

Select a code from the list.

NOTE: Selecting Off allows you to hear everything on the

channel. NOTE: If you cannot hear calls on the same channel with the

same code, verify all the radios are using the same squelch tone mode (Changing the Squelch Tone Mode, page 2).

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.

From the radio app, select > Setup Radio > Squelch

Tone Mode.

Select a squelch tone mode.

Monitoring a Channel for Activity

You can monitor a single channel for any activity, including static and weak voice signals. This is helpful if a signal is going out of range.

From the radio app, select the channel you want to monitor.

Select Monitor.
