Installing the Batteries

The Rino 130 operates on three “AA” Alkaline batteries (not

included) located in the back of the unit. Rechargeable batteries may

also be used. See the Rino 130 Owner’s Manual for setting battery

type. The unit is factory set to use Alkaline batteries. Stored data is

not lost when the batteries are removed.

To install batteries:

1. Remove the battery cover on the back of the unit. Turn the

D-ring 1/4 turn counter-clockwise and pull the cover off.

2. Insert batteries observing the polarity reference molded into

the unit housing. Orient the negative (-) battery terminal

toward the spring.

3. Reinstall the battery cover by inserting the bottom hinge clip

and closing the cover. Turn the D-ring 1/4 turn clockwise.

Notes on battery use:

• When replacing batteries, use only new or fully recharged

batteries. Rechargeable batteries may typically display less

capacity than Alkaline batteries.

• Do not mix different types of batteries together.
• Remove the batteries from the unit if you do not plan to use it

for several months. Follow the battery manufacturer’s instruc-

tions for proper care and disposal of used batteries.

• Extensive use of backlighting, WAAS, and/or FRS or GMRS

will significantly reduce battery life.

Initializing the GPS

Before the Rino 130 can be used for navigation, the GPS receiver

must be initialized. Initialization allows the Rino 130 to receive

and store satellite information and begin using the satellites for

navigation. The initialization is automatic and should only take a

few minutes.

To initialize the unit (acquire satellites):

1. Take the Rino 130 outside where it has an unobstructed view

of the sky and turn it on.

2. The unit begins to search for

satellite signals. “Tracking Satel-

lites” is displayed while the unit is

initializing.

The first time you use your Rino

130, initialization should take no

more than five minutes.

3. When the GPS is initialized and ready for navigation, the

message “3D Accuracy” is displayed on the Radio Page.

If for some reason the unit is not able to gather the necessary satel-

lite information, refer to the Rino 130 Owner’s Manual.
