FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the Standard Horizon HX400IS?

The Standard Horizon HX400IS is a rugged, intrinsically safe handheld VHF radio designed for use in hazardous environments. It is certified for Class I, II, and III, Division 1 hazardous locations, making it ideal for industries like oil and gas, mining, and chemical processing.

What does "intrinsically safe" mean?

Intrinsically safe refers to the radio’s design that prevents it from producing sparks or heat that could ignite flammable gases, vapors, or dust in hazardous environments. The HX400IS is certified for use in explosive atmospheres, ensuring safe operation in potentially dangerous conditions.

What is the battery life of the Standard Horizon HX400IS?

The HX400IS features a powerful 3200mAh Lithium-Ion battery, offering up to 17 hours of operating time on a single charge (with battery saver mode enabled). This extended battery life makes it reliable for long shifts or extended operations in the field.

Is the Standard Horizon HX400IS waterproof?

Yes, the HX400IS is rated IPX8 waterproof, meaning it can be submerged in 1.5 meters of water for up to 30 minutes without damage. This makes it highly suitable for marine environments or operations in wet conditions.

What is the range of the Standard Horizon HX400IS?

The effective range of the HX400IS depends on the terrain and environment. In optimal conditions (line of sight), the range can reach up to 5-10 miles. However, in urban or obstructed areas, the range may be reduced due to interference from buildings or other structures.

Does the HX400IS have NOAA weather alerts?

Yes, the HX400IS comes equipped with a built-in NOAA weather alert receiver. It allows users to monitor weather channels and receive emergency alerts in the case of severe weather conditions, which is critical for safety in outdoor or marine settings.

How do I charge the Standard Horizon HX400IS?

The HX400IS comes with a drop-in charging cradle and an AC/DC charger. Simply place the radio into the charging cradle, and it will begin charging automatically. The battery can be fully charged in approximately 3 hours.

Does the HX400IS have any scanning features?

Yes, the HX400IS supports several scanning features, including dual watch, tri-watch, and priority scan. These features allow users to monitor multiple channels simultaneously, ensuring they don’t miss important communications or emergency broadcasts.

Can I use the HX400IS with a headset or external speaker?

Is the HX400IS compatible with other VHF radios?

Yes, the HX400IS operates on the VHF frequency band, making it compatible with other VHF radios that operate on the same frequency channels. It supports all International, USA, and Canadian marine VHF channels, allowing for easy communication across different VHF radios.

How does the battery save feature work?

The battery saver mode automatically reduces power consumption by putting the radio into a low-power state when it’s not actively transmitting or receiving signals. This feature helps extend the overall battery life, allowing for longer operation during extended use in the field.

Can I program channels into the HX400IS?

Yes, the HX400IS has programmable channels. Users can program favorite or frequently used channels into the radio for quick access, making it easier to switch between important frequencies during critical operations.

Is the HX400IS suitable for use in marine environments?

Absolutely. The IPX8 waterproof rating, combined with the built-in NOAA weather alerts and rugged design, makes the HX400IS ideal for use in marine environments, including boating, fishing, and offshore work.
