To Next PageTo Next PageWhat does “HI BATTERY” or “LO BATTERY” mean on my Standard Horizon Transceiver?
If you are getting a “HI BATTERY” or “LO BATTERY” message on your Standard Horizon Transceiver when you turn it on, it means the power supply voltage is either too high or too low. To resolve this, ensure that the connected power supply voltage is not 17 volts or higher, and not lower than 10 volts.
How to fix Standard Horizon Transceiver that fails to power up?
If your Standard Horizon Transceiver fails to power up, first check the 12VDC battery connections and the fuse. Also, make sure that you press and hold the VOL/PWR knob to turn the radio on.
What to do if Standard Horizon Transceiver keeps blowing fuse?
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 ensure the red wire is connected to the positive (+) battery post, and the black wire to the negative (-) battery post. You may also replace the fuse (6A 250V). If the fuse continues to blow, contact your Dealer.
How to eliminate engine noise from Standard Horizon Transceiver speaker?
If you're experiencing popping or whining noise from the speaker of your Standard Horizon Transceiver while the engine is running, it's 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, change to resistive spark plug wires, and/or add an alternator whine filter.
Why is my Standard Horizon Transceiver transmit power low?
If a receiving station reports low transmit power from your Standard Horizon Transceiver, even when set to HI power, the issue might be with the antenna. Have the antenna checked, or test the transceiver with another antenna. If the problem continues, contact your Dealer for assistance.
What to do if Standard Horizon Transceiver speaker not working?
If no sound is emitted from the internal or external speaker of your Standard Horizon Transceiver, check the connections of the accessory cable. Specifically, short circuit the External speaker cable WHITE/SHIELD.
Why is there no sound from the PA speaker on my Standard Horizon Transceiver?
If no sound comes from the PA speaker on your Standard Horizon Transceiver, check the accessory cable connection. Short circuit 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, check the accessory cable connection. Short circuit 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 my Standard Horizon Transceiver?
If your position is not being displayed on your Standard Horizon Transceiver, check the accessory cable connection. Some GPS units use the battery ground line for the NMEA connection. Also, check 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, ensure it is set to 4800 and parity is set to NONE.
