The 'HI BATTERY' or 'LOW BATTERY' message on your Standard Horizon Transceiver indicates that the power supply voltage is either too high or too low. Verify that the connected power supply voltage is not 24 volts or lower than 9 volts and that the generator has not malfunctioned.
Why does my Standard Horizon SPECTRUM + GX2355S Transceiver fail to power up?
The Standard Horizon Transceiver may fail to power up due to a lack of DC voltage or a blown fuse. Ensure the power cable is providing DC voltage and replace the fuse (6A 250V) if necessary. Also, ensure that you press and hold the Power switch/ Volume control knob until the transceiver turns on.
What to do if Standard Horizon Transceiver blows fuse when connected to power supply?
If your Standard Horizon Transceiver blows a fuse when connected to the power supply, it might be due to reversed power wires. Ensure the red wire is connected to the positive battery post and the black wire to the negative. If the fuse continues to blow, contact your Dealer.
What causes popping or whining noise from Standard Horizon SPECTRUM + GX2355S speaker?
A popping or whining noise from the Standard Horizon Transceiver speaker while the engine runs is often due to engine noise. To resolve this: 1. Reroute the DC power cables away from the engine. 2. Add a noise suppressor on the power cable. 3. Consider changing to resistive spark plug wires and/or adding an alternator whine filter.
Why is sound not emitted from Standard Horizon Transceiver external speaker?
If sound is not coming from the external speaker of your Standard Horizon Transceiver, the issue might be with the external cable. Check the polarity of the connected external cable.
What to do if Standard Horizon SPECTRUM + GX2355S Transceiver position is not displayed?
If your Standard Horizon Transceiver position is not displayed, there could be two potential causes: * External cable: Check the polarity of the connected external cable. Some GPS units use the battery ground line for NMEA connection. * Setting of the GPS navigation receiver: Check 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.
Why do receiving stations report low transmit power from Standard Horizon SPECTRUM + GX2355S?
If receiving stations report low transmit power from your Standard Horizon Transceiver, even when set to HI power, the issue is likely with the antenna. Have the antenna checked or test the transceiver with another antenna. If the problem persists, contact your Dealer for servicing.
