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 130

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 ofﬁcial 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 130 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 130 to all available navigation

sources, including the information from other NAVAIDs, visual

sightings, charts, etc. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies

before continuing navigation.

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.

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.

(FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for

handheld wireless radios. Those guidelines are consistent with
