If your Standart Horizon Transceiver fails to power up, it may be due to no DC voltage reaching the unit or a blown fuse. First, check the 12 VDC battery connections and the fuse. Also, ensure that the power key is pressed and held down to turn the radio on.
Why does my Standart Horizon GX1850GPS Transceiver show 'HI BATTERY' or 'LO BATTERY'?
The “HI BATTERY” or “LO BATTERY” message on your Standart Horizon Transceiver indicates that the power supply voltage is either too high or too low. Verify that the connected power supply voltage is between 11 volts and 16.5 volts DC.
What to do if Standart Horizon GX1850GPS Transceiver blows a fuse when connected to power?
If your Standart Horizon Transceiver blows a fuse when connected to the power supply, it's likely due to reversed power wires. Check the power cable for DC voltage and replace the fuse (6A). Ensure the red wire connects to the positive (+) battery post and the black wire to the negative (–) post. If the issue persists, contact your Dealer.
Why is my Standart Horizon Transceiver transmit power low?
If a receiving station reports low transmit power from your Standart Horizon Transceiver, even when set to HI power, the antenna may be the issue. Have the antenna checked or test the transceiver with another antenna. If the problem continues, contact your Dealer for servicing.
How to eliminate engine noise from Standart Horizon GX1850GPS speaker?
If you're hearing a popping or whining noise from the speaker of your Standart Horizon Transceiver while the engine is running, it's likely engine noise interfering with the radio. Try these steps: 1. Re-route the DC power cables away from the engine. 2. Add a noise suppressor on the power cable. 3. Change to resistive spark plug wires and/or add an alternator whine filter.
