What to do if the indicator doesn't light when charging the battery on my Standard Horizon HX471S Transceiver?
If the indicator light does not illuminate when charging the battery of your Standard Horizon Transceiver, it may indicate a defective battery. Contact your Standard Horizon dealer.
How to fix Standard Horizon HX471S when the SCAN key doesn't start the scan?
If the SCAN key on your Standard Horizon Transceiver isn't initiating a scan, it could be due to a couple of reasons. First, you might not have any channels stored in the transceiver's memory. Use the MEM key to add your desired channels. Second, the squelch might not be adjusted correctly. Adjust the squelch to the point where the background noise just disappears, but be careful not to adjust it so much that you eliminate incoming signals.
Why doesn't the squelch control eliminate background noise on my Standard Horizon Transceiver?
If rotating the squelch control knob on your Standard Horizon Transceiver isn't eliminating background noise, the most likely cause is a low battery. Try charging the battery.
What to do if I cannot change any function on my Standard Horizon HX471S Transceiver?
If you cannot change any function on your Standard Horizon Transceiver, the Key Lock feature may be activated. Turn the Key Lock off.
How to enable USA/INTL/CAN modes on Standard Horizon Transceiver?
If the USA/INTL/CAN modes are not functioning on your Standard Horizon Transceiver, ensure you are following the correct procedure. Hold down the 16/9 key and then press the WX key.
Why doesn't the Key Lock function on my Standard Horizon Transceiver?
If the Key Lock function is not working on your Standard Horizon Transceiver, ensure you are operating it correctly. Hold down the LAMP key for 1 second to activate or deactivate the Key Lock.
