To Next PageTo Next PageWhy does my Standard Horizon GX2150 display 'HI BATTERY' or 'LO BATTERY'?
The “HI BATTERY” or “LO BATTERY” message on your Standard Horizon Transceiver indicates that the power supply voltage is either too high or too low. Make sure the connected power supply voltage is neither higher than 17 volts nor lower than 10 volts.
Why does my Standard Horizon GX2150 Transceiver fail to power up?
Your Standard Horizon Transceiver might not be powering up because there's no DC voltage reaching it, or the fuse might be blown. First, check the 12VDC battery connections and the fuse. Also, make sure you press and hold the VOL/PWR knob to turn the radio on.
What to do if Standard Horizon GX2150 Transceiver blows fuse when connected to power supply?
If your Standard Horizon Transceiver blows a fuse when connected to the power supply, it might be due to reversed power wires. Check the power cable for DC voltage and replace the fuse (6A 250V). Ensure the red wire connects to the positive (+) battery post and the black wire to the negative (-) battery post.
What causes popping or whining noise from the speaker of my Standard Horizon GX2150 Transceiver?
A popping or whining noise from the speaker of your Standard Horizon Transceiver while the engine is running is 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 receiving station reports slow signal strength on Standard Horizon GX2150?
If a receiving station reports slow signal strength, even with your Standard Horizon Transceiver set to HI power, the antenna might be the issue. Have the antenna checked, or test the transceiver with another antenna.
How to fix sound not emitted from the internal or external speaker of Standard Horizon GX2150 Transceiver?
If no sound is coming from the internal or external speaker of your Standard Horizon Transceiver, the accessory cable might be the problem. Check the connections of the accessory cable by short circuiting the external speaker cable (WHITE/SHIELD).
How to fix sound not emitted from the PA speaker of Standard Horizon GX2150 Transceiver?
If no sound is emitted from the PA speaker of your Standard Horizon Transceiver, the issue might be with the accessory cable. Check the accessory cable connection by short circuiting the PA speaker cable (RED/SHIELD).
Why is “AIS” information not displayed on my Standard Horizon GX2000 Transceiver?
If “AIS” information is not displayed on your Standard Horizon GX2000 Transceiver, the accessory cable might be the cause. Check the accessory cable connection by short circuiting the NMEA-HS(+) cable (BROWN) and NMEA-COMMON (–) cable (GREEN). Also, verify that the baud rate setting of the AIS receiver is set to 38400 baud.
Why is my position not displayed on Standard Horizon GX2150 Transceiver?
Your position might not be displayed on the Standard Horizon Transceiver due to issues with the accessory cable or the GPS navigation receiver settings. * Check the accessory cable connection. Note that 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, RMB, or RMC sentence as an output signal. If the GPS has a baud rate setting, ensure it is set to 4800 and parity to NONE.
