Send Location and Position Reporting Feature for Rino 600 and 700 Series

Utilizing sending and polling can enhance the Rino® outdoor handheld experience, and provide additional functionality while in the field. The Send Location feature allows you to send your current location to other Rino handhelds after each transmission. The Allow Polling feature permits other Rino handheld users to get your location by initiating a poll request on their Rino handheld to your Rino handheld.

  • From the Radio page, ensure channels and codes are the same on all Rino handhelds.

    • This sends out a call tone as well as a request for a position update on other users' positions.

  • To poll the position of a specific Rino contact, select a saved contact from the contacts app and then select Poll Location.

    • This sends out a request for a position update on the other user's position.

  • To send your location, press the PTT key (push-to-talk).

    • If held, this allows the user to communicate with other two-way radios using voice.

    • If tapped, it sends out a position update.

NOTE: Positions can only be updated once every 30 seconds. Rino 600/700 series devices will not work stably with Rino 100 series devices for the location or contact features.
