To Next PageTo Next PageWhy does my Standard Horizon QUANTUM GX2360S Transceiver show 'HI BATTERY' or 'LO BATTERY'?
This message appears because the power supply voltage is either too high or too low. Make sure the connected power supply voltage is not above 17 volts or below 10 volts. Also, check if the generator has malfunctioned.
How to fix a Standard Horizon QUANTUM GX2360S Transceiver that won't turn on?
First, check the 12VDC battery connections and the fuse. Also, make sure you press and hold the VOL/PWR knob to turn the radio on.
Why does my Standard Horizon QUANTUM GX2360S Transceiver keep blowing fuses?
The fuse might be blowing because the power wires are reversed. Check the power cable for DC voltage and replace the fuse (6A 250V). Ensure the red wire connects to the positive (+) battery post and the black wire to the negative (-) battery post.
What to do if my Standard Horizon Transceiver has low transmit power?
Have the antenna checked or test the transceiver with another antenna. If the problem persists, contact your Dealer for servicing.
How to eliminate engine noise from my Standard Horizon QUANTUM GX2360S Transceiver speaker?
To reduce engine noise, reroute 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 no sound from Standard Horizon Transceiver speaker?
Check the connections of the accessory cable (Short Circuit the External speaker cable WHITE/SHIELD).
Why is there no sound from the PA speaker on my Standard Horizon QUANTUM GX2360S?
Check the accessory cable connection (Short Circuit the PA speaker cable RED/SHIELD).
Why is my position not displayed on my Standard Horizon Transceiver?
This issue can occur due to the accessory cable or the settings of the GPS navigation receiver. Check the accessory cable connection. Some GPS units use the battery ground line for NMEA connection. Also, verify the output signal format of the GPS navigation receiver. This radio requires NMEA0183 format with GLL sentence as an output signal. If the GPS has a baud rate setting, make sure to select 4800 and parity to NONE.
