Mio R-2 Remote Control Device
Overview
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.
