GARMIN Rino Software Upgrade Information
------------------------------------------------------------
WARNINGS:
If this software is uploaded to a GPS unit other than the product for
which it is designed, you will not be able to operate that unit.
If the upload software fails, verify that you have good batteries installed
and try again. If repeated upload attempts fail, you may need to return
the unit to GARMIN for service.
------------------------------------------------------------
Instructions for uploading the new software to your Rino using
Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT/2000/ME/XP:
1. Download the appropriate self-extracting archive file for your Rino
onto your hard drive.
2. Unzip the files in the archive by running the downloaded executable file.
3. Connect your Rino to a free serial port (Com 1, 2, 3, or 4) on your PC
with a PC interface cable.
4. Turn on your Rino and ensure the Serial Data Format is set to "GARMIN".
You can find this setting in Main Menu -> Setup -> Interface.
5. Change to the directory in which you unzipped the files, (i.e., C:\GARMIN),
and run the update program, updater.exe. Select the appropriate serial
port and click "OK" to begin the software upload.
During the upload, the Rino's display will indicate "SOFTWARE LOADING..."
The upload process should take 1-5 minutes to complete. When the upload
is completed, the Rino will reset itself and turn on normally.
