Ambient Light

The JBL Horizon features an ambient LED light ring on its rear. This light can be used as a gentle wake-up aid or as a soft night light. Its brightness automatically adjusts to the room's lighting conditions for optimal visibility without being disruptive.

USB Charging

Two USB charging ports are located on the side of the JBL Horizon. Connect your mobile devices using their respective USB cables to charge them overnight or during use.

Display Brightness

The display brightness automatically adjusts based on the ambient light in the room, ensuring readability during the day and preventing excessive brightness at night.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your JBL Horizon:

• Clean the device with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Keep the device away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, and moisture.
• Ensure proper ventilation around the unit.

Troubleshooting

• No Power: Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the device and a working wall outlet.
• Poor FM Reception: Extend the FM antenna fully and try repositioning it for better signal.
• Bluetooth Pairing Issues: Ensure the JBL Horizon is in pairing mode (flashing Bluetooth indicator) and your mobile device's Bluetooth is enabled and searching. Try unpairing and re-pairing if issues persist.
• Alarm Not Sounding/Too Quiet: Verify that the alarm is enabled, the volume is set appropriately, and the correct alarm source is selected. Check the backup battery status if a power outage occurred.
• Time Drift: If the time consistently drifts, ensure the device is connected to a stable power source. The backup battery helps maintain time during power interruptions.
