If your Standard Horizon Transceiver displays a “HI BATTERY” or “LO BATTERY” message upon powering on, it indicates that the connected power supply voltage is either too high or too low. To resolve this, verify that the connected power supply voltage is within the range of 11 volts to 16.5 volts DC.
How to fix a Standard Horizon GX2400GPS Transceiver that fails to power up?
If your Standard Horizon Transceiver fails to power up, the cause may be due to no DC voltage reaching the transceiver or a blown fuse. First, check the 12 VDC battery connections and the fuse. Second, ensure that the power key is pressed and held to turn the radio on.
What to do if Standard Horizon 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, or replace the fuse (6A). Ensure the red wire connects to the positive (+) battery post and the black wire to the negative (–) battery post. If the fuse continues to blow, contact your Dealer.
Why is my Standard Horizon GX2400GPS Transceiver transmit power low?
If the receiving station reports low transmit power from your Standard Horizon Transceiver, even when set to HI power, the antenna may be the problem. Have the antenna checked or test the transceiver with another antenna. If the issue remains, contact your Dealer for servicing.
How to stop popping noise from Standard Horizon GX2400GPS speaker?
If you are experiencing popping or whining noise from the speaker of your Standard Horizon Transceiver while the engine is running, it is likely due to engine noise. Try re-routing the DC power cables away from the engine. You can also add a noise suppressor on the power cable or switch to resistive spark plug wires and/or add an alternator whine filter.
What to do if sound is not emitted from Standard Horizon GX2400GPS Transceiver speaker?
If sound is not emitted from the internal or external speaker of your Standard Horizon Transceiver, the issue might be with the accessory cable. Check the connections of the accessory cable, as the external speaker cable (WHITE/ SHIELD) may be shorted together.
Why is my position not displayed on my Standard Horizon GX2400GPS?
If your position is not displayed on your Standard Horizon Transceiver, there might be an issue with the accessory cable, the SCU-38 cable, or the GPS chart plotter settings. * Check the accessory cable connection. Some GPS units use the battery ground for NMEA connection. * Check the SCU-38 cable connection. * Verify the output signal format of the GPS navigation receiver. This radio requires NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 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.
