Observe, optimistically, that BarcodeScanner doesn’t mention QR codes at all. Looks much simpler / duller than rest. Decide to choose it, based on similarity to own personality. The Pure One Mini Series II uses a single 3in driver, to handle the whole frequency spectrum. However, so do several of Pure’s larger classic models, including the Evoke 1-S and Evoke Flow. The whole process took me about 20 minutes (including trying to get the Mi working). I would have thought the average consumer simply won't bother and if they have a go, could easily give up.

In terms of pure shape, the Series II edition of the Pure One Mini looks just like the original. It’s small, square-ish and not as intensively-styled as some of Pure’s wood-bodied models like the Pure Evoke-3. 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. Great news. Hopefully this will encourage people to upgrade and give a push towards more DAB+ services and at some point, a transition to DAB+. A compact, portable digital radio, One Mini Series 2 offers a blend of quality, style and affordability that’s hard to beat. Measuring just 13 cm wide by 13.5 cm high, it’s an ideal travelling companion, providing hours of portable listening when fitted with an optional rechargeable ChargePAK.Try and tune into a DAB+ station. Opt for Gold. Appears in the station listing twice, once as Gold on local mux I know I definitely can’t get in this room, and as Gold UK on D1 in DAB+ (40k), which is what I need to test. Find somewhere to plug radio in. Inevitably involves having to unplugging something else because power adaptor is too big. Did you manage to read the serial number ok to get the upgrade? Mine is faded with only half the numbers readable.

Upgraded the firmware on a Siesta Mi and a Siesta to permit a DAB+ upgrade. I've upgraded these before so had no problem with the actual process, although it can be a bit fiddly.Met deze barcode scanner kun je een barcode scannen om de inhoud van de betreffende barcode te controleren en zien welk type codering er gebruikt is. 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. 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). 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. 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.

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?). Realise I have a number and a barcode, so if I can just scan the barcode… With a unhealthy level of cynicism, open iPhone camera app, knowing that it will scan QR codes, but assuming Apple, whilst having invested considerable developer resource in creating an animated poo emoji, have probably deemed that enabling the camera to scan a linear barcode is too niche of a feature to bother adding support. This assumption is proved correct. Notice letters are lower case. Enter again in uppercase in case of sloppy programming. Still rejected.

Station list looks fine (has recent additions), but get identical upgrade message to before when tuning to DAB+ stations. 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. 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.)
