Why does my Standard Horizon Transceiver say 'HI BATTERY' or 'LOW BATTERY'?
If the Standard Horizon Transceiver displays 'HI BATTERY' or 'LOW BATTERY' when powered on, it indicates that the connected power supply voltage is either too high (24 volts or more) or too low (less than 9 volts). Verify that the connected power supply voltage is within the appropriate range and ensure that the generator is functioning correctly.
How to fix a Standard Horizon INTREPID GX1260S that won't turn on?
If your Standard Horizon Transceiver fails to power up, start by pressing and holding the Power switch/ Volume control knob until the transceiver turns on. Then, check the power cable for DC voltage and replace the fuse (6A 250V) if necessary, as the cause may be no DC voltage to the transceiver or a blown fuse.
What to do if Standard Horizon Transceiver keeps blowing fuses?
If the Standard Horizon Transceiver blows a fuse when connected to the power supply, the power wires might be reversed. Ensure that the red wire is connected to the positive battery post and the black wire to the negative. If the fuse continues to blow, contact your SCC Dealer.
Why is my Standard Horizon Transceiver transmit power so low?
If receiving stations report low transmit power from your Standard Horizon Transceiver, even when set to HI power, the antenna might be the issue. Have the antenna checked, or test the transceiver with another antenna. If the problem persists, contact your SCC Dealer for servicing.
How to eliminate engine noise from Standard Horizon INTREPID GX1260S 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. Reroute the DC power cables away from the engine. Additionally, you can add a noise suppressor on the power cable, change to resistive spark plug wires, and/or add an alternator whine filter.
Why is my Standard Horizon INTREPID GX1260S not showing my position?
If your position is not displayed on the Standard Horizon Transceiver, there could be two potential causes. First, check the polarity of the connected external cable. Second, verify the output signal format of the GPS navigation receiver. This radio requires NMEA0183 format with GLL sentence as an output signal.
What to check if external speaker on Standard Horizon INTREPID GX1260S has no sound?
If sound is not emitted from the external speaker of your Standard Horizon Transceiver, check the polarity of the connected external cable.
