Radio Page
The Radio Page is the first of the default Main Pages.
This page provides the user interface for FRS (Family
Radio Service) and GMRS (General Mobile Radio
Service) radio operations. Garmin Rino units work with
third party FRS/GMRS radios using standard FRS/GMRS
frequencies. To take advantage of all of the Rino features,
communication with other Rinos is necessary.
The Radio Page also provides access to the Weather
Radio (available in Rino 530 only), which provides
a constant update of current weather conditions by
receiving NOAA weather broadcasts for your area. The
Weather Alert feature further enhances the Weather Radio
by automatically notifying you of any weather alerts,
even when the Weather Radio is not is use and the FRS/
GMRS radio is not transmitting or receiving an audio
transmission. These features are helpful while outdoors or
planning any trips or activities.
Initializing the Rino 520/530
To take full advantage of the Rino 520/530 features,
the GPS receiver must be initialized. The initialization
process allows the Rino 520/530 to receive and store
satellite information and begin using the satellites for
navigation. Initialization is automatic and should only
take a few minutes. If this is the first time the unit is used
or if you have moved more than 600 miles from your last
used location, initialization may take up to 5 minutes.
