Power on the speaker Press and hold the Volume + button and the Bluetooth button together for 3-5 seconds until the speaker turns off Once turned off, the speaker has been reset to the factory default settings

With some phones, such as iPhones and some Android models, volume is synchronized while Bluetooth is used, and levels below volume setting 6 (tested with iPhone 6 and iPhone 5s) and volume setting 5 on most Android devices will cause the GO to enter standby after some minutes. If you want to play softer while still using your iPhone as a source, please change to cabled connection from the headphone output to the AUX input of GO. This will make it possible for you to set the GO's volume at its minimum step, and then control total level on the telephone. Of course, if source level from the telephone is set extremely low, the GO will go into standby again, because GO needs a certain level to keep playing. Alternatively, use a phone which does not synchronize volume as source. Many Android phones do not synchronize volume, so by using such a phone, you can adjust GO to its lowest level, adjusting total level independently, even via Bluetooth. This will usually result in music volume at the desired level.

Each click advances to the next preset. 3 When you are on the preset you want to change, e.g. preset 4, press and hold the FM button for more than 2 seconds. 4 The FM symbol and the frequency will now blink. 5 Before they stop blinking, click, or press and hold one of the arrow buttons to go through the FM frequencies step by step, or perform station search. 6 When you have found the new station you want to save in preset 4, click the round central button. 7 Now the new station is saved in preset 4.

Horizon's alarm sounds for 3 minutes, then it shuts off, or rather it goes into snooze, for 9 minutes. Then it sounds the alarm again for 3 minutes, followed by snooze for another 9 minutes.
