GETTING TO KNOW YOUR RINO
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
local dealer or the Garmin Web site (www.garmin.com) for
a complete listing of MapSource products.
The Rino 520/530 is waterproof to IPX7 standards and is
designed for rugged use. Garmin’s user-friendly interface
allows you to start navigating almost immediately.
