What to do if my Standard Horizon Quest-X GX1500S Transceiver shows 'HI BATTERY' or 'LO BATTERY'?
If your Standard Horizon Transceiver displays a “HI BATTERY” or “LO BATTERY” message, it indicates that the power supply voltage is either too high or too low. Verify that the connected power supply voltage is not above 17 volts or below 10 volts. Also, check if the generator has malfunctioned.
Why does my Standard Horizon Quest-X GX1500S Transceiver keep blowing fuses?
The fuse might be blowing in your Standard Horizon Transceiver due to reversed power wires. 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. If the fuse continues to blow, contact your Dealer.
How to fix popping or whining noise from Standard Horizon Transceiver speaker?
If you're hearing a popping or whining noise from your Standard Horizon Transceiver speaker while the engine is running, it's likely due to engine noise. Try these steps: * Reroute the DC power cables away from the engine. * Add a noise suppressor on the power cable. * Change to resistive spark plug wires and/or add an alternator whine filter.
What to do if Standard Horizon Quest-X GX1500S Transceiver position is not displayed?
If your Standard Horizon Transceiver is not displaying your position, there could be a couple of reasons: * Check the accessory cable connection, as some GPS units use the battery ground line for NMEA connection. * Verify the output signal format of the GPS navigation receiver. The radio requires NMEA0183 format with GLL, RMB, GGA, or GNS sentence as an output signal. If the GPS has a baud rate setting, ensure it's set to 4800 and parity is set to NONE.
How to troubleshoot Standard Horizon Quest-X GX1500S not powering on?
If your Standard Horizon Transceiver fails to power up, it could be due to no DC voltage reaching the transceiver or a blown fuse. Check the 12VDC battery connections and the fuse. Also, ensure that you press and hold the PWR key to turn the radio on.
What to do if Standard Horizon Quest-X GX1500S Transceiver has no sound from speaker?
If no sound is coming from the internal or external speaker of your Standard Horizon Transceiver, the issue might be with the accessory cable. Check the connections of the accessory cable for a possible short circuit on the External speaker cable WHITE/SHIELD.
Why is transmit power low on my Standard Horizon Quest-X GX1500S?
If receiving stations report low transmit power from your Standard Horizon Transceiver, even when set to HI power, the antenna might be the cause. Have the antenna checked, or test the transceiver with another antenna. If the problem persists, contact your Dealer for servicing.
