How to Reset the Rino 100 or 500 Series

There are a few instances in which it is necessary to perform a full reset on a Rino® 100 or 500 series outdoor radio including the following:

  • Not receiving a satellite signal
  • Restoring the factory default settings
  • Not functioning properly

The information and steps below will walk through backing up the data and resetting the device.

Before Resetting

Performing a full reset can cause loss of user data including waypoints, routes, tracks, contacts and geocaches.

It is recommended to back up important data with MapSource® (Rino 100 series) or BaseCamp™ (Rino 500 series) software before resetting. For steps, see Related.

NOTE: Contacts cannot be backed up and will be erased during a reset. Contacts can be re-added by accepting the prompt to save the contact once the other device has initiated a transmission.


Performing a Full Reset

    1. Power the Rino off.
    2. Press the Page, Enter, and Power buttons simultaneously.
      NOTE: Enter is pressing the center of the thumbstick down. It is important that the thumbstick does not move to any side, as this will prevent the reset from working.

Explanation of Rino buttons

  1. Release all of the buttons once the Do you really want to erase all user data? message appears.
  2. Select Yes.

The Rino is now reset. Take the device outside with a clear view of the sky for a minimum of 20 minutes to re-acquire satellite data.
