Unit Operation > Using the Rino 520/530 Radio Features Using the Rino 520/530 Radio Features Your Rino 520/530 unit provides many features to enhance your radio experience, such as transmitting your location or any location and receiving contact information. This section reviews some of the advanced radio features. Refer to the "Features" section for information on all of the features of the Rino 520/530. Peer-to-Peer Positioning The Rino 520/530's most unique feature is being able to send its location to another Rino, which is called Peer-toPeer positioning. With peer-to-peer positioning enabled (see the "Setup Radio" section) and a GPS position, whenever you press and release either the Call button or the Talk button, the Rino 520/530 automatically sends out its location. This information is available to all other Rino users that are monitoring the same channel and squelch code. This feature allows you to track the movement of other Rino users and even navigate to their location. Locations may only be sent once every 30 seconds due 20 to FCC restrictions. Your Rino 520/530 can respond to polling requests from other units more frequently. To transmit your location to other Rino users: 1. Enable Send Location (see "Setup Radio"). 2. Press and release either the Talk or Call button. A bright flag on the Status Bar indicates the unit is ready to transmit its position. A dimmed flag is waiting for the 30 second delay to expire. New Contact Page Overview The first time that a signal is received from another Rino user, a New Contact page is displayed. From the New Contact page you can show their location on your Map, Go To their location, or select OK to add it to the Contact List. Press the Page/Quit button to disregard the contact.
