Hints and Tips
(<</>>) Secondary services
Secondary services accompany some stations, providing extra information or alternative content and may only be broadcast at certain
times. At the time of writing not many secondary services are available. If a station has secondary services available, the station shows
‘>>’ next to its name in the station list and the secondary service appears next to the station in the list. A secondary service has a ‘<<’
before its name in the station list.
(?) Inactive or unavailable stations
Inactive or unavailable stations are those which appear on the station list but are not currently available because either you are outside
the broadcast area, have lost reception or the station is not currently broadcasting. Unavailable stations have a ‘?’ before their name on
the station list. If you select a station which has this symbol, Élan returns to the last station you were listening to.
I hear a ‘burbling’ sound on some stations
Although DAB is excellent at providing quality audio from very little signal, the quality can suffer if the signal strength is too low. If that
happens, a ‘burbling’ sound can sometimes be heard. To help reduce this, check that your aerial is fully extended and upright. If the
problem persists try moving your radio or repositioning your aerial using manual tuning.
Display says ‘ No stations available’
Check that your aerial is fully extended. Use Autotune to search for stations. Use manual tuning to adjust your aerial or radio position.
Clock shows the wrong time
This may happen if the multiplex you are tuned to broadcasts an incorrect time signal, try tuning to a station in another multiplex.
Resetting your radio
Resetting your Élan
removes all presets, stored stations and favourite station settings and resets all options to defaults. To reset:
1. Press and hold the Menu button for three seconds. The screen shows ‘Press Select to confirm reset’.
2. Push the Select button to confirm the reset or press no buttons to cancel the reset.
