Introduction 


DaySequerra's new M4.2Si AM-FM Digital Radio Receiver is the most capable next-generation HD 
Radio™ platform available today. 


With the M4.2Si you can monitor audio and data from your analog and HD Radio broadcasts including 
FM multicast channels HD-2 through HD-8. The M4.2Si has no AUTO-Blend function so it stays locked 
to the stream you've selected even if the broadcast or your AC power is interrupted. Hear your HD 
Radio time-alignment using the M4.2Si built-in Split-Mode. With the optional TimeLock™ Monitor, the 
M4.2Si will even send an email if your MPS and HD-1 streams are out of time-alignment. The Remote 
Dashboard webserver simplifies your under 3-minute setup and provides total remote control of the 
M4.2Si using any browser on your Ethernet network. Plug and Play 


Please read this manual thoroughly before operating your M4.2Si.

Unpacking and Installing the M4.2Si 


Immediately upon receiving your M4.2Si, please make a careful inspection for any shipping damage. If 
damage is found or suspected, please notify the carrier at once and then contact your dealer. The 
DaySequerra M4.2SI is shipped in one carton, which contains: the M4.2Si unit, an AC power cable, a 
Torx'™ T-8 L-key and this User Manual. 


We strongly encourage you to save the shipping carton and shipping materials supplied with 
your M4.2Si. They are specially designed to properly protect your M4.2Si, and in the event that you 
need to return it for service, only these OEM shipping materials can ensure its safe return to our 
factory. 


We provide a limited 3-year warranty on all of our products, but if you don’t register your unit, it’s hard 
for us to contact you when software updates become available. So please take a few minutes to 
complete the warranty registration form on our web site, www.daysequerra.com. Thank you! 


Rack Mount Installation. The M4.2Si chassis has four rack mounting holes in its chassis and has 
been designed to fit in a 19” standard 1RU space. Plastic ‘finishing’ washers are recommended to 
protect the painted finish around the mounting holes. 


Power Connection. The AC power cable supplied with the M4.2Si must be connected from the 
M4.2Si's IEC320 power entry module to an AC mains outlet with a functional earth ground connection. 
The M4.2Si has been set at the factory to operate at 120VAC unless otherwise specified on the 
shipping carton. The M4.2Si export version is configured for 240VAC operation. Please connect your 
M4.2Si to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect against power surges and 
brownouts. 


Antenna Input Connections. Separate 75ohm F-type connector is provided on the M4.2Si rear panel 
for dedicated AM and FM antennas 


Audio Output Connections. Analog audio left and right outputs are on rear-panel XLR connectors 
with pin 1 GND, pin 2 + and pin 3 -. The digital audio output is transformer-isolated in S/PDIF format on 
a rear-panel XLR connector with pin 1 GND, pin 2 XFMR and pin 3 XFMR. The M4.2Si digital audio 
output is 5.1 surround capable. 


Ethernet Connection - The M4.2Si Ethernet Port offers the use of DaySequerra’s Webserver by 
connecting the M4.2Si to any networked computer with Internet access. The use of crossover cables 
can be used in areas where a network connection is not possible. More information on the Webserver 
can be found at the end of this manual. The Ethernet port with the aid of the webserver will keep the 
M4.2Si up to date on all Firmware upgrades by checking, downloading and installing with the click of 
the ‘Check Firmware’ button on the webserver. (An Internet connection must be available for ‘Firmware 
Upgrade’ to work. UPON RECEIVING THE UNIT IT IS ENCOURAGED TO ‘CHECK FIRMWARE’ 
FROM THE WEBSERVER TO BE SURE YOUR M4.2Si IS USING THE MOST RECENT FIRMWARE 
AVAILABLE.
