How To

You can easily adjust the volume to your choosing while setting your alarm on the Horizon 2. When setting your alarm, choose the Alarm Bell 1 or the Alarm Bell 2 on the top of the speaker. As you go through your settings when choosing an alarm time, it will give you the option to adjust the volume setting you wish to have on the alarm. Just simply adjust the volume by turning the volume knob on the top of the speaker. After you choose the volume, press the volume knob once to move to the next settings option. 
Please note: the alarm volume will gradually increase until you choose to either snooze or turn the alarm off completely. 

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.

On backup battery power, please wait 50 seconds for the alarm to turn off automatically.

The blue LED will start blinking, indicating that Bluetooth pairing is possible. If you need to reset the BT pairing, move the ON/OFF button against the spring load button to the opposite position of the OFF position, and keep it there for 4- 5 seconds. Now the BT system is reset, and new pairing is possible. Please Note: The Y500 features Multi-point Connectivity which allows you to switch from two different devices.

The Y500 features the speed charge (5 min charging time = 1 Hour Playtime) In order to charge the headphones, use the micro USB charger that is included in the packaging.

Once the headphones are fully charged, the red light indicator will turn off. Please Note: You cannot use the headphones via BT while they are charging.

If you have trouble, please contact our helpdesk for further assistance.

This is because most Windows do not support A2DP stereo audio streaming via Bluetooth, the standard for music-listening through Bluetooth. The system will support keyboards, mice, printers etc. via Bluetooth, but not audio. It is necessary to download the proper drivers, either from the computer manufacturer, the software manufacturer or the manufacturer of the Bluetooth chip in the computer. Help to do this must be sought with the companies that supply one or more of these computer features.

In order for the No. 526/No. 523 to return to the last input that had been selected you must put the unit in standby before turning power OFF.

The Bluetooth connection will not keep playing once you have switched the source. Simply press play again on your Bluetooth device to start streaming once again.

This happens if you power up the subwoofer before connecting the right and left speakers. The system mutes to avoid potentially harmful pop noise. Just touch one of the volume up/down pads to unmute.

High pass filter When the subwoofer is connected, the main channels are "Small", meaning that there is a high-pass filter. This ensures proper blending with the subwoofer. Crossover settings The Citation amp supports crossover settings in the range 50Hz - 120Hz. Default is 80Hz. Multiple subwoofers? Only one type of subwoofer is supported at a time. Either with cable or wireless.
