Quick Start
Since it takes at least two Rino’s to show all of the
Rino’s features, this exercise will explain Rino to Rino
operation. First, make sure that both Rinos are set on the
same channel and squelch code, and both are tracking
satellites.
The Rino’s most unique feature is being able to send
it’s location to another Rino, this is called Peer-to-Peer
positioning. The process is automatic. When you pess
and release either the CALL key or the TALK key, the
Rino will send out it’s location. This information will be
available to all other Rino users that are monitoring the
same channel and code. This feature allows you to track
the movement of other Rino users and even navigate to
their location.
The fi rst time that a signal is received from another
Rino user, a ‘New Contact’ page will be displayed. From
the New Contact page you can show their location on your
map, ‘Goto’ their position, select ‘OK’ to add them to your
contact list, or press the PAGE/QUIT key to disregard the
contact. The Rino can manage up to fi fty contacts at any
time. Each time that you receive a signal from a contact,
your map will be updated showing their new position and
a Track Log of their movement will be created and shown
on your map.
Its time to do some talking! To transmit on your
Rino, press and hold the TALK key, and in a normal
voice, speak into the michrophone area on the front of the
Rino from a distance of about 3-4 inches. When you are
fi nished talking, release the TALK key. When the TALK
key is released, your location will be updated on all receiv-
ing Rinos. If you want to call another user, or update your
location on another Rino, press and release the CALL key.
This will sound a call tone on all Rinos that are monitor-
ing your channel and code. Your position will be updated
when your signal is received.
You can also send a specifi c location to other Rino
user’s. This can come in handy if you are trying to round-
up the troops, or just want to meet at a specifi c location.

The Rino has a maximum talk
time of 45 seconds. If you
exceed the 45 second limit
the unit will emit a warbling
tone to alert you. This limit
is in place as a safety factor.
In the event that the CALL or
TALK key were accidentially
depressed and held.
