    You must first set a radio preset by tuning to a radio station and holding down the 1, 2, or 3 button to save it. After this, the preset will be an option when setting up a new alarm.

    When setting up the alarm, the options will be displayed in the following order:

    ​​​​​​1. Set Alarm Hour.
    2. Set Alarm Minute.
    3. Set Recurrence - Weekday/Once.
    4. Set Ringtone - 4 built-in alarm tones or radio preset 1/2/3 (see information above).
    5. Set Light - On/Off.

    If the light is set to 'On' when the alarm is set up, once it goes off it will gradually increase in brightness over 10 seconds.

    How to Reset to Factory Settings
    Press and hold the 'DAB/FM' & 'Preset 1' buttons for more than 2 seconds. The Horizon 2 is now reset to the default factory settings.
    Horizon 2: How to Turn Off/Bluetooth Standby Time
    To turn off the Horizon 2, Press the 'DAB/FM' button until no radio is playing.
    This works in the order (from standby/off): DAB / FM / Off.

    In Bluetooth mode, if the phone or tablet is disconnected, or nothing is played for 10 minutes, the Horizon 2 will go into standby mode automatically (not changeable).
    Screen brightness information

    If the screen appears dark, try repositioning the Horizon 2 for the light sensor to work to the fullest. In some positions, the Horizon 2 cannot effectively detect the ambient light level in the room.

    More FAQs
  • How do I keep the radio playing after having been awakened by radio?
    After the wake-up process is finished, and the radio alarm has been turned off by pressing the alarm button, it is necessary to press the radio button to keep the radio playing.
    Can Horizon wake you up with Bluetooth music from a telephone?
    Yes, if a telephone is connected via Bluetooth to Horizon, this is possible. When adjusting the wake-up timer, there will be an option to select various wake-up tones, or Bluetooth sound. Select Bluetooth as source, while the telephone is playing the music stored locally, or streaming what you want as wake-up music. When the wake-up adjustment is finished, music will be playing over Bluetooth through the Horizon. Press Pause on the source telephone, or press the round selector button (between the two arrow-buttons) on the Horizon to pause the music. Now the system is ready to wake you up with Bluetooth music. When wake-up time arrives, Horizon sends a Play command to the telephone, and music plays via Bluetooth. You can use music that is stored in the phone, use Spotify or play from the cloud. This has been tested with both iPhone 6 and Samsung S6, and should work flawlessly.
    Where can i find the serial number for Horizon alarm clock?
    At the bottom of your Horizon alarm clock, you will see a little cap where the backup-battery resides. Turn the cover lid left to open it, and on the back of the cover lid, you will see the serial number.
    How do I program preset FM stations in my JBL Horizon?
    The owner's manual can be a bit difficult to understand. Here is what to do to program a preset station that has not already been saved in any preset: 1 Turn on the radio by clicking the FM button. 2 Find the station you want to save by doing what is shown under pt. 8 B or C, either clicking or pressing/holding for more than 2 seconds the left/right arrow buttons. 3 Press and hold the FM button for more than 2 seconds. Now the preset number appears blinking. 4 Click on the left/right arrow buttons to skip through the preset positions. 5 When you have located the desired memory preset position, such as Preset 4, confirm by clicking the FM button. Now the desired FM station is saved in memory preset 4. If you have already saved an FM station in a preset memory position, and want to have a new station placed there instead, here is what to do: 1 Turn on the radio by clicking the FM button. 2 Jump to the preset station you want to change with the round central button. 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.
