Designed and manufactured in the UK by Meridian Audio Ltd. Meridian Audio reserves the right to make changes and improvements to any of the products described in this document without prior notice.

This guide was produced by: Human-Computer Interface Ltd, http://www.interface.co.uk/

Welcome to the M80 Compact Entertainment System

This section explains how to set up your product in six simple steps.

1 Unpack the product

Your M80 is supplied with the following components:

Power cord.
Rod antenna.
- DAB-optimised coil antenna.
Wire antenna.
- Remote control.
- Meridian i80 iPod Dock.
i80 iPod Dock cable.
- This User Guide.

If any of these items are missing please contact your supplier.

We recommend you retain the packaging in case you need to transport the unit at a later date.

Before you begin

Before you begin installation you should ensure that your product is set to the correct voltage for your local supply, as indicated by the label on the back panel next to the power input.

If it is not, do not try to use the unit, and contact your dealer.

2 Position the product

Although you can position your product almost anywhere convenient, for best results bear the following considerations in mind:

Avoid wet locations

The product is an electrical appliance, and so should not be positioned in a location where it may get splashed or wet, such as in a bathroom or on a kitchen sideboard.

MERIDIAN M80 - Avoid wet locations - 1

Avoid direct sunlight or carpets

The product includes a powerful amplifier, which needs adequate ventilation. Avoid positioning the product in direct sunlight, such as in a window, or on a pile carpet.

MERIDIAN M80 - Avoid direct sunlight or carpets - 1

If the product overheats, protection circuits switch it off until it has cooled down.

3 Connect an antenna

The product includes an internal antenna, and in areas of strong reception this will be sufficient to receive a good signal on the DAB and FM bands.

If you do not achieve good results with the internal antenna, you may use one of the external antennas supplied, or connect another suitable external (eg cable or outdoor) antenna, as follows:

Telescopic rod antenna

MERIDIAN M80 - Telescopic rod antenna - 1

The telescopic antenna provides very good reception for FM, AM, and DAB.

  • Attach the rod antenna to the socket marked Ant. 1.
  • Extend it to its full extent.

Wire antenna

MERIDIAN M80 - Wire antenna - 1

If you prefer not to have the antenna visible, the wire antenna can be draped behind furniture, or run up a wall.

The wire antenna provides very good reception for FM, AM, and DAB, but experiment with the lay of the wire to get the best signal strength.

  • Attach the wire antenna to the socket marked Ant. 1

DAB-optimised coil antenna

A UK DAB-optimised coil antenna may be included.
- Attach the antenna to the socket marked Ant. 1.

Cable or external antenna

In difficult reception areas (eg some high-rise or shielded buildings) it may be necessary or preferable to connect an external antenna, or a radio feed provided by a Cable supplier or in the building infrastructure.
- Attach the antenna cable to the socket marked Ant. 1.

Change the antenna setting

If you have fitted an external antenna, you need to change the antenna setting for the band you want to use; see To set up the antennas, page 15.

Note: In some circumstances you may want to use more than one external antenna to get the best reception on two or three bands. Meridian provides an FAQ on this subject on their website:

http://www. meridian-audio.com/apps/ant80.htm
