However, if you connect an external monitor during use, the LCD screen initially will remain on. You can toggle screen modes by pressing the F1 key while holding down the Fn key (Fn + F1). Available modes are: External only, LCD only, and Simultaneous LCD and External.

Tips on using Meridian’s LCD display

1.To power up with the LCD panel closed, you must have the AC adapter connected. On battery power alone: open the panel, turn on power, then close the panel.

2.If you use the Meridian with the LCD panel closed, we recommend that you run the system with the AC adapter plugged in.

External Keyboard

Connect a normal 101-key keyboard with a suitable adapter, then turn on power. The external keyboard will operate simultaneously with Meridian’s onboard keyboard, but the external one will lack an Fn key.
