Quick Start

Radio
Radio Setup
The Rino comes set from the factory to transmit on the
FRS (Family Radio Service) frequencies. Your Rino will
allow you talk with other FRS users, but if the other radio
is a Rino, several other features are available.
The Rino can transmit on fourteen FRS channels and
has thirty eight squelch codes to block unintended con-
verstations from being heard on your radio. Remember,
FRS channels are public domain and can be monitored by
anyone with an FRS radio.
Unique to Rino users are a personal ID name (My ID)
and face icon. When talking with other Rino users, your
ID and icon will be displayed on the receiving radio as
your identifi cation. This feature of the Rino can be dis-
abled. Since we have already created an ID and selected
an icon, lets pick a channel and code to transmit on.
To select a channel:
1. Place the highlight over the “Channel” field and
press the CLICK STICK IN.
2. Using the CLICK STICK, select one of the fourteen
available channels and press the CLICK STICK IN to
accept the selection.
To select a code:
1. Place the highlight over the “Code” field and press
the CLICK STICK IN.
2. Using the CLICK STICK, select one of the thirty
eight available codes and press the CLICK STICK IN
to accept the selection.
Adjusting the volume
If you need to adjust the volume, press the V key on
the front of the unit to display a slider adjustment. Using
the CLICK STICK Up/Down, raise or lower the slider
to change the volume up or down. When you have the
proper level set, press the V key to hide the slider control.
