About this deal

Please note, if you have a very early model of the device listed above, a DAB+ update will not be possible due to the age. Now asked to enter ‘Device Hardware Identifier’. Wonder how secure this needs to be. Wonder how I’m supposed to get that. See it involves holding down Menu button then waiting and holding it down a second time. Presented with a 32-digit hex number on two lines of the screen. Really? Attempt to enter this in full the first time (rejected), verify I’ve typed it correctly, then re-read the instructions and note they only want the top line. Note that they could have just trimmed the first 16 characters of the response or limited the maximum length of the text field. (Grateful I don’t own a different Pure radio, having read account from another user that hardware identifier on Pure One Mini only displayed for two seconds at a time before reverting to radio mode).

Decide at this point things are going to be a lot simpler if I just take the radio upstairs to where the computer is (I’m going to have to connect it to USB anyway). But first, take a photo of the display, showing the hardware identifier. Pure premium internet radio spreads outstanding sound and good mood wherever you need the one or the other. You might want to fall asleep to your favourite tunes, start your day with a pot of coffee and a podcast or put on some kitchen swagger. You might also want to keep up to date with what’s going on in the world. With Pure radio, you can do it all. A number was indeed missing – the ‘1’ had been scratched off. (To the app’s credit, although I can’t copy paste it, it remembers the last number I scanned when I subsequently reopen it, and it tells me what type of barcode it is.) This compact DAB and FM digital radio offers a blend of quality, style and affordability that's hard to beat and is an ideal travelling companion when fitted with a ChargePAK B1.Correctly guess how to enter it (turning the dial to select the number and A-F – obvious – then pressing the button in to advance to the next one – perhaps not quite so obvious to all). In hindsight, this was perhaps the most enjoyable stage of the process, as it felt a bit like opening a safe. Notice letters are lower case. Enter again in uppercase in case of sloppy programming. Still rejected.

Applicable models: Chronos 2, Contour 100Di, Elan 2, Evoke 1S, Evoke 2S, Highway, One Classic, One Classic Series 2, One Elite, One Elite Series 2, One Mi, One Mi Series 2, Siesta, Siesta Mi, Siesta Mi Series 2 All-in-one music systems, Internet radio, DAB/DAB+ radio, smart radio and Bluetooth radio from PURE London Open App Store on phone. Start typing “barcode scanner”. Choose “barcode scanner” from autocomplete dropdown rather than barcode scanner free (likely stuffed with ads etc.?) or barcode scanner uk (what’s so country-specific about a barcode scanner app?). Add in the low price, reasonably-priced optional battery and good sound quality and the One Mini appears quite the bargain. If you can stomach the extra cash, the Evoke 1S offers a more attractive design and warmer sound, but we do think this second series model represents a significant upgrade over the original 2008 One Mini. Wonder what to do. Can I get the serial number via the radio’s UI? Poke around the settings menu a bit. Doesn’t look like it.Test things before upgrading a product – e.g. remember to verify if a particular station/multiplex has good reception that day and in that location. Station list looks fine (has recent additions), but get identical upgrade message to before when tuning to DAB+ stations.

Use serial numbers codes with a consistent format that’s easy for humans to parse. Use dashes where you have separators. Maybe copy something familiar, like the 0000-0000-0000-0000 credit/debit card style. Maybe I’ll retune it just to be on the safe side. Choose Autotune. Wonder as I wait, as I do every time I’ve done this, on the inconsistently of TV/radio tuning menus and whether on not this device has a ‘Purge’ option to get rid of stations or secondary services that no longer exist.If you’re asking people to enter more than one code, perhaps you’re doing it wrong. (Can’t a unique hardware identifier give you all the information a serial number can?)
