Introduction

Radio

In the United States and Canada, this device uses Family Radio Service (FRS) and 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 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 FRS/GMRS or UHF CBRS/PRS radio users, you must be on the same channel and code (Channels and Codes, page 3).

1 Hold PTT.

2 Speak into the front of the device.

3After 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 15).

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 4).

2 Select to mute or restore the radio volume (optional).

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.

1When you hear unwanted background noise, from any screen, select the volume keys.

The volume screen appears.

2Select under the Squelch 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 FRS/GMRS or UHF CBRS/PRS radio users, you must be on the same channel.

Rino devices are compatible with third-party FRS/GMRS or UHF CBRS/PRS radios as long as the radios use standard FRS/ GMRS or CBRS/PRS frequencies. A list of all frequencies used by this device is available in the product specifications (Radio Frequency Charts, page 18).

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 20).
