Symptom Probable Cause Remedy
Radio not transmitting.
Talk key may not be fully depressed. Press and hold TALK key until done talking.
FRS/GMRS Radio feature may not be On. Turn radio On.
Messages not being received by others.
Incorrect channel/Squelch Code setting. Make sure other radios are on the same channel and
Squelch Code.
Out of radio range or obstructions. Decrease distance between radios.
Limited talk range. Natural or man-made obstructions can decrease range. Decrease distance between radios or obtain a better line
of sight between radios.
You can hear others, but they cannot hear you or you see
an incoming transmission, but nothing is heard. You are on the same channel, but a different Squelch
Code. If you are using Squelch Code zero (0), you will hear all
transmissions on that channel. Use the same Squelch
Code (1–38) as the other party or use ‘Scan’ to find what
Squelch Code they are on.
Message garbled. Scramble option is enabled. Both radios need to have this feature set the same (Rino
110 units do not have).
Too many unwanted conversations being heard. Too many users on channel or Squelch Code is set to
zero. Switch to a different channel and/or use Squelch Code
other than zero (1–38).
Interference or static.
Radios too far apart or too close Obstructions in radio
line of sight. Keep radios at least 3 feet apart. Obtain better line of
sight between radios.
Interference from other electronics. Shut off other devices or move away from interfering area.
Cannot transmit location. Could be one of a few things: Your view of the satellite is
obstructed and a GPS fix is not available. ‘Send Location’
is off. 30 seconds have not elapsed since last location
transmission. GPS is set to Off. Move to a location with a clear view of the sky. Enable
‘Send Location’. Wait 30 seconds between location
transmission. Enable GPS.
