Mio R-2
Overview
The Mio R-2
The 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.

Touch And Tilt Sensor
The 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.

Programming The Mio R-2
Most functionality of the Mio R-2 is handled using the application, KeypadBuilder. Go to
www.amx.com for the KeypadBuilder Instruction Manual.
There are a select number of Serial Commands the Mio R-2 recognizes. For a full list and
descriptions, consult the Persistent Serial Commands section on page 11.
Using Connector Ports on The Mio R-2
The programming jack is used for communication between the device and KeypadBuilder. The
programming jack uses a three-wire, 2.5 mm stereo jack, you can order the programming cable
(FG10-817) from AMX if you do not currently possess one. 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.

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.

Persistent Serial Commands
There are a select number of persistent commands the Mio R-2 recognizes. Establish a
HyperTerminal session with your device to use the following commands:
Serial Commands
@BRT Set Brightness level
Syntax:
"'BRIT-<awake brightness level>,<sleep brightness
level>'"
Variables:
brightness level # = a value from 0 - 32.
"'@BRT-#'" (Set LED Awake brightness level)
"'@BRT-#,#'" (Set LED Awake brightness level, sleep brightness level)
Example:
(1) "'@BRT-16'"
Sets the awake brightness level to 50%.
(2) "'@BRT-32,5'"
Sets the awake brightness level to 100% and sleep brightness level to
approximately 15%
IRMODE # Sets the IR transmission frequency to either 455KHz or 38KHz.
Syntax:
"IRMODE #"
Variables:
# = 455 or 38
Example:
"IRMODE 455"
Sets the IR transmission frequency to 455KHz.
SLEEP-# Force the device into screen saver mode.
Syntax:
"'SLEEP-#'" (timed sleep; a persistent command)
Variables:
# = 0 - 60 in seconds; time to wait before going to sleep. Default is 30. 0 sets
the device to never sleep.
