Warnings and Cautions
The GPS system is operated by the United States government,
which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The
system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and
performance of all GPS equipment. Although the Garmin Rino 130
is a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID), any NAVAID
can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.
The electronic chart is an aid to navigation and is designed to
facilitate the use of authorized government charts, not replace
them. Only official government charts and notices to mariners
contain all information needed for safe navigation—and, as
always, the user is responsible for their prudent use.
Use the Rino 130 at your own risk. To reduce the risk of unsafe
operation, carefully review and understand all aspects of this
Owner’s Manual
—and thoroughly practice operation using the
Demo mode prior to actual use. When in actual use, carefully
compare indications from the Rino 130 to all available navigation
sources, including the information from other NAVAIDs, visual
sightings, charts, etc. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies
before continuing navigation.
MAP DATA INFORMATION:
One of the goals of Garmin
is to provide customers with the most complete and accurate
cartography that is available to us at a reasonable cost. We use a
combination of governmental and private data sources, which we
identify (as required) in product literature and copyright messages
displayed to the consumer. Virtually all data sources contain
inaccurate or incomplete data to some degree. This is particularly
true outside the United States, where complete and accurate digital
data is either not available or prohibitively expensive.

INTENDED TO BE USED ONLY AS A NAVIGATIONAL AID
AND MUST NOT BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE REQUIRING
PRECISE MEASUREMENT OF DIRECTION, DISTANCE,

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. Those guidelines are consistent with
