Sending a Text Message Using a Rino 100 or Rino 500 Series
Text messages, known as Notes, can be sent from one compatible Rino® handheld to another compatible Rino handheld*. In order for the notes to be sent properly all Rino handhelds that are supposed to receive the message they must be on the same Channel and Code.
To send a Note to another Rino handheld user using a Rino 100 or Rino 500 series handheld:
- Press Page to reach the Map page
- Select the icon of the user you wish to message with the thumb stick
- Press and hold the thumb stick until a menu appears
- Select Send Note
- Edit a new note or select from the saved notes in the list below
- Select Send
If there is no option to send notes, ensure that the device firmware is up to date by downloading and running the WebUpdater program.
*Rino 120 handhelds were manufactured with two different versions of software. The devices with software 3.90 or less do not offer the Notes feature. Users with software 3.90 or less will not be able to update to the 5.XX software that does offer the Notes feature.
