First, check the 12VDC battery connections and the fuse. Also, ensure that you press and hold the PWR/VOL knob to turn the radio on.
Why does my Standard Horizon MATRIX AIS/GPS GX2200E Transceiver blow a fuse when connected to the power supply?
A blown fuse typically indicates reversed power wires. Ensure the red wire is connected to the positive (+) battery post and the black wire to the negative (–) post. Check the power cable for DC voltage and replace the fuse (6A). If the fuse continues to blow, it's recommended to contact your Dealer.
Why does my Standard Horizon MATRIX AIS/GPS GX2200E show 'HI BATTERY' or 'LO BATTERY' when turned on?
This message indicates that the power supply voltage is either too high or too low. Verify that the connected power supply voltage is between 11 volts and 16.5 volts DC.
What causes popping or whining noise from the speaker of my Standard Horizon MATRIX AIS/GPS GX2200E Transceiver when the engine runs?
This noise is often due to engine interference. Try re-routing 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 the sound is not emitted from the internal or external speaker of my Standard Horizon MATRIX AIS/GPS GX2200E?
Check the connections of the accessory cable. A short in the external speaker cable (WHITE/SHIELD) could also be the cause.
What to do if the sound is not emitted from the PA speaker of my Standard Horizon MATRIX AIS/GPS GX2200E Transceiver?
Check the connections of the accessory cable. A short in the PA speaker cable (RED/SHIELD) could be the problem.
Why does my Standard Horizon MATRIX AIS/GPS GX2200E Transceiver have low transmit power, even when set to HI power?
The antenna may be the cause. Have the antenna checked, or test the transceiver with another antenna. If the problem continues, contact your Dealer for servicing.
How to fix the issue when my position is not displayed on my Standard Horizon Transceiver?
Check the accessory cable connection. Some GPS units use the battery ground for the NMEA connection. Also, verify the output signal format of the GPS navigation receiver. This radio requires NMEA0183 format with GLL, RMB, or RMC sentence as an output signal. If the GPS has a baud rate setting, make sure to select 4800 and parity to NONE.
