AM and FM Antennas

The Horizon Duo comes out of the box ready to use. The internal AM antenna is connected. The FM antenna is also connected. Just extend the wire connected to the plug. With the standard antennas you’ll probably pull in more stations than any other radio you own. But if you want to listen to stations that are very far away then external antennas can be connected to the antenna inputs.

About the Front Panel Controls

Most of the Horizon Duo functions are operated by the three controls on the front panel.

Power/Volume – Is controlled by the large knob in the center of the panel.

Mode – Selects the input you want to use or the function you want to adjust.

Tune – Tunes in a new radio station.

These logical, intuitive controls make it easy to operate the Horizon Duo. The way you use each contol is the same for each feature. Once you learn how to control one of the features the rest of them will be easy. You may not need to refer to this manual once you understand the way the controls work.

About the Remote Control

Most of the features of the Horizon Duo can be operated with the supplied remote control. When it’s not being used, the remote control can be conveniently stored in the recess on top of the Horizon Duo. The remote also has a magnetic backing so it can be attached to many metal surfaces.

Note: When you unpack your remote control there will be a plastic insulation tab extending from the battery compartment. Pull out this tab before using the remote control.

There must be an unobstructed line of sight to the front of the Horizon Duo when using the remote control. Point the remote control at the front panel of the Horizon Duo when pressing the buttons. For best results you should be within 20 feet of the unit and no more than 45° off axis.

Note: Eventually you’ll need to replace the remote battery. If the remote doesn’t reliably operate the Duo, put in a new CR2025 3V lithium coin type battery.
