Overview1Mio R-2OverviewThe Mio R-2The Mio R-2 remote provides custom control features, contained in an elegant handheld rechargeable device. The Mio R-2 controls 6 different device modes, supports 3 macro functions and is capable of executing 219 functions. The Mio R-2 can transmit in 38 KHz IR, 455 KHz IR, 418 RF (1-way) (FG147-418), 433 RF (1-way) (FG147-433), or 38 KHz and one of the RF frequencies.Selecting a source device sends a command to the master and runs predetermined events associated with that source. Selecting a macro will run predefined events, which might not be associated with sources listed, then return the device to its previous mode.You need KeypadBuilder to properly program this device. The application and documentation are available from www.amx.com.

Overview2Mio R-2Touch And Tilt SensorThe Mio R-2 wakes up upon touching either the chrome side rails or pressing a button. When holding the remote and it times out, you can reawaken the device by tilting it. Errant jostling such as a bumped table will not wake the device unless you are holding it.FIG. 1 The Mio R-2 Device1 - Power2 - Guide3 - Exit4 - Menu5 - Information6 - Move Up7 - Move Down8 - Move Left9 - Move Right10 - Select11 - Volume Up12 - Volume Down13 - Channel Up14 - Channel Down15 - Last Viewed16 - Mute26 - Input28 - Enter38 - Stop39 - RecordPowerTransmission ModeCurrent MenuBattery MeterCustom MacroButtonsCustom ModeOptions391234567891011121314151626 28384041424344 45Numeral Keypad

While loading your configuration file make sure the device is situated as such that the batteries will not fall out. The load will fail if your batteries fall out during the process.To download KeypadBuilder Configuration Files:1. Set the Mio R-2 Download mode to ON. See the Configuration Mode section for details.2. Flip and turn the Mio R-2 device so that the buttons are facing away from you and the device is upside down.3. Holding the device in both hands, place your thumbs on the battery door and slide the battery door free.4. Connect the 2.5 mm stereo plug (male) end of the programming cable (FG10-817) into the programming jack on the bottom side of the remote device.5. If necessary, connect the DB-9 end of the programming cable to the female DB-9 connector on the DB-9 extension cable (FG10-727).6. Connect the female DB-9 terminal end of the extension cable to the port on the back of your computer.7. Configure the communication parameters in KeypadBuilder.
