Scanning for stations The ﬁrst time you use Elan Connect, 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 Connect/+ 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 screen.

Now playing information While a station is playing, the screen shows its name and DLS (Dynamic Label Segment)

Note that if you are updating the time from DAB or FM, the Daylight savings option has

no effect on the clock’s time.

Elan Connect/+ will auto-update from the selected Mode when time information is

available.

Language The default language is English. To change, select Menu > System settings > Language >then

select your language.
