To Next PageTo Next PageWhy does my Standard Horizon Transceiver show 'BATTERY' or 'LO BATTERY' message?
The "BATTERY" or "LO BATTERY" message appears on your Standard Horizon Transceiver because the power supply voltage is either too high or too low. To resolve this, confirm that the connected power supply voltage is between 11 volts and 15 volts DC.
What to do if my Standard Horizon Transceiver keeps blowing fuses when connected to power supply?
If your Standard Horizon Transceiver is blowing fuses, the power wires may be reversed. Check the power cable for correct voltage or replace the fuse. 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, it is recommended to contact your dealer!
How to fix a Standard Horizon Transceiver that fails to power up?
If your Standard Horizon Transceiver fails to power up, it could be due to no DC voltage to the transceiver or a blown fuse. Check the 9'D& battery connections and the fuse. Ensure the key is pressed and held to turn the radio on.
What to do if a receiving station reports low transmit power from my Standard Horizon Transceiver?
If a receiving station reports low transmit power even when your Standard Horizon Transceiver is set to high power, the antenna may be the issue. Have the antenna checked or test the transceiver with another antenna. If the problem continues, it is recommended to contact your dealer for servicing!
Why is there no sound from the speaker of my Standard Horizon Transceiver?
If no sound is emitted from the internal or external speaker of your Standard Horizon Transceiver, there may be an issue with the accessory cable. Check the connections of the accessory cable. The external speaker cable may be shorted together!
What to do if my Standard Horizon Transceiver position is not displayed?
If your position is not displayed on your Standard Horizon Transceiver, there may be an issue with the accessory cable. Check the accessory cable connection! Some GPS units use the battery ground for 10($ connection.
