Radio Page
The Radio page provides the user interface for FRS
(Family Radio Service) and GMRS (General Mobile
Radio Service) radio operations. Rinos 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 530HCx 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 used and the FRS/
GMRS radio is not transmitting or receiving an audio
transmission. These features are helpful while outdoors or
when planning trips or activities.

Initializing the Rino
When using the unit for the first time or you are more
than 600 miles from your last used location, the GPS
receiver must be initialized.
To initialize the unit:
Take the Rino outside where there is an
unobstructed view of the sky and turn it on to
search for satellite signals. A Satellite Signal graph
is shown on the Radio page.
