First, check the 12 VDC battery connections and the fuse. Then, make sure the VOL knob is rotated clockwise to turn the Standard Horizon Radio on.
What to do if my Standard Horizon Eclipse GX1400GPS Radio keeps blowing fuses?
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 Standard Horizon Radio fuse still blows, contact your Dealer.
Why does my Standard Horizon Eclipse GX1400GPS Radio say 'HI BATTERY' or 'LO BATTERY'?
The power supply voltage is either too high or too low. Make sure the connected power supply voltage is between 11 volts and 16.6 volts DC. Also, check that the generator hasn't malfunctioned.
How to stop engine noise on my Standard Horizon Eclipse GX1400GPS?
To minimize engine noise, reroute 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 install an alternator whine filter.
What to do if my Standard Horizon Eclipse GX1400GPS Radio transmit power is low?
Have the antenna checked or test the Standard Horizon Radio with another antenna. If the problem persists, contact your Dealer for servicing.
Why is my position not displayed on my Standard Horizon Radio?
First, check the accessory cable connection. Some GPS units use the battery ground line for NMEA connection. Then, check the output signal format of the GPS navigation receiver. The Standard Horizon Radio requires NMEA0183 format with GLL, RMC, GGA, or GNS sentence as an output signal. If the GPS has a baud rate setting, select 4800 and parity to NONE.
What to do if there is no sound from my Standard Horizon Radio speaker?
Check the connections of the accessory cable for the Standard Horizon Radio. There may be a short circuit on the External speaker cable WHITE/SHIELD.
