    Thank you for choosing the Garmin 530 (Radio Integrated with Navigation for the Rino ® Outdoors). To get the most from your new Rino 520 or Rino 530, read through the Quick Start Guide first, then this Owner’s Manual to understand all of the operating features.

  • Page 4: Warnings And Cautions

    The system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. Although the Garmin Rino 520/530 is a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID), any NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.
  • Page 5 IMPORTANT: READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR RINO: Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals—Your wireless handheld radio is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is on, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. In August 1996, The Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless radios.
  • Page 6 the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference, and should turn the radio off immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place. Hearing Aids—Some digital wireless radios may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

    About.FRS/GMRS.Radio FRS Radio FRS, or Family Radio Service, is a UHF radio frequency band allocated by the FCC for general public use. The operating frequency ranges from 462.5625 to 467.7125 MHz, with a maximum transmitting power of one half watt. FRS radios are small and lightweight, making them ideally suited for outdoor activities.

  • Page 109: Frs Limitations

    Channel scan allows your FRS radio to scan all FRS frequencies for signals. After scanning briefly to see what channels other users are on, set your FRS radios to an unused channel and enjoy less interference. For greater privacy, some FRS radios have a voice scramble feature. This feature causes your message to sound garbled to other FRS users that are not part of your group.
