520/530

The Rino 520/530 (Radio Integrated with Navigation for

the Outdoors) is a FRS/GMRS radio with a 12 channel

GPS receiver. It has integrated radio functionality to

provide two-way communications for up to two miles

using FRS (Family Radio Service) channels. The Rino

520/530 also provides 15 high-performance GMRS

(General Mobile Radio Service) channels and 8 GMRS

repeater channels (U.S. versions only) for communication

up to 14 miles. GMRS channels are limited to 2 watts of

power when used in Canada. GMRS repeater channels

are not approved for use by the Canadian government, so

they are disabled on Rino 520/530 units sold in Canada.
The Rino 520/530 has three user-selectable GMRS power

levels: 0.5 W, 2.0 W, and 5.0 W (USA only). Keep in

mind that FRS channels only transmit at 0.5 W. The Rino

520/530 also has a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack

with charger. Be certain to fully charge the lithium-ion

battery while attached to the Rino 520/530 prior to the

first use to ensure accurate battery capacity reporting.

Follow the charging instructions contained in the Rino

Quick Start Guide
If you wish, you can purchase a spare lithium-ion battery

pack or an optional alkaline battery pack with transmit

power limited to 2.0 W.
The unit contains built-in cartography of a North

American basemap that includes Interstate and State

Highways and Exit Information. The Rino uses compatible

MapSource

®

map data software (not included). The Rino

520/530 can display up to 56 MB of a variety of detailed

map data. Some of the mapping options that are compatible

with the Rino 520/530 include City Select, MetroGuide,

Topo, Fishing Hot Spots, and BlueChart

®

data. Check your
