      Stephanie SmithAug 21, 2025
      If your Standard Horizon Radio blows a fuse when connected to the power supply, the power wires may be reversed. Check the power cable for DC voltage and replace the fuse (6 A 250 V). Ensure the red wire is connected to the positive (+) battery post and the black wire to the negative (-) battery post. If the fuse continues to blow, contact your Dealer.

    Why does my Standard Horizon Eclipse GX1400 Radio show “HI BATTERY” or “LO BATTERY” message?
    • G
      George GreeneAug 23, 2025
      If your Standard Horizon Radio displays a “HI BATTERY” or “LO BATTERY” message when turned on, it means the power supply voltage is either too high or too low. Verify that the connected power supply voltage is between 11 and 16.6 volts DC. Also, check if the generator has malfunctioned.

    How to eliminate popping or whining noise from Standard Horizon Radio speaker when engine runs?
    • R
      robertchavezAug 26, 2025
      If you're hearing popping or whining noises from the speaker of your Standard Horizon Radio while the engine is running, it's likely due to engine noise. Try rerouting the DC power cables away from the engine. You can also add a noise suppressor on the power cable, switch to resistive spark plug wires, and/or add an alternator whine filter.

    What to do if my Standard Horizon Eclipse GX1400 has low transmit power?
    • A
      Andrew MatthewsAug 28, 2025
      If a receiving station reports low transmit power from your Standard Horizon Radio, even when set to HI power, the antenna may be the issue. Have the antenna checked or test the transceiver with another antenna. If the problem continues, contact your Dealer for servicing.

    Why is my position not displayed on my Standard Horizon Radio?
    • C
      Christopher Rich MDAug 30, 2025
      If your position is not displayed on your Standard Horizon Radio, there could be a couple of reasons: * Check the accessory cable connection. Some GPS units use the battery ground line for NMEA connection. * Verify the output signal format of the GPS navigation receiver. The radio requires NMEA0183 format with GLL, RMC, GGA, or GNS sentence as an output signal. If the GPS has a baud rate setting, ensure it is set to 4800 and parity is set to NONE.
