Setting up

Elan One is easy to use. To play DAB or FM radio, all you need is a USB power source;

• A. Place Elan One on a suitable surface.
• B. Extend the telescopic antenna.
• C. Connect the supplied USB cable between Elan One and a USB power adaptor*.

Time/date

The time and date can be updated manually or automatically.

• Auto
  Auto-update works with data sent over DAB, FM. The clock is only updated when in a corresponding mode, so it is best to select a mode you use regularly.

Sources

Digital Radio
To enter Digital Radio mode, press Source until the display shows Digital Radio.

Scanning for stations
The first time you use Elan One, or if the station list is empty, the radio automatically performs a full scan to see what stations are available. You may also need to start a scan manually to update the list of stations for one of the following reasons: New stations may become available from time to time. If reception was not good for the original scan (for example the antenna was not up), this may result in an empty or incomplete list of available stations. If you have poor reception of some stations causing the audio to break up, you may wish to list only stations with good signal strength. To do a full scan Select Menu > Full scan. Once a scan is complete, the radio returns to playing the previously-selected station or first station on the station list. To remove stations that are listed but unavailable Select Menu > Prune Invalid.

Manual tune
As well as the normal method of scanning, you can also manually tune to a particular channel / frequency. This can be useful for adjusting your antenna to achieve the best possible reception and scanning a particular channel to update the station list. To manually tune Press Menu > Manual tune then use the select control button to display a particular channel/frequency, press Select to tune to that channel/frequency. The display shows a live indication of the received signal strength on the selected frequency. Adjustments to your antenna will be manifested in the received signal strength displayed.
Note: The division in the signal strength bar indicates the audio quality threshold – if the signal strength, as indicated by the solid rectangles, falls below this threshold the audio quality will deteriorate. When a channel/frequency is selected Elan One also scans for any DAB stations on the selected frequency and updates the station list with any new stations found. To listen to any stations found return to the Now playing
