We used the 10.4-m Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) with its low-dispersion optical spectrograph to obtain 10 spectra of 2277s each covering the range 6300-10300 Angstroms with a resolving power of R~500 for the Hyades brown dwarf 2MASSJ04183483+2131275. We detect lithium in absorption and Halpha in emission in this combined spectrum.
