Overview

The Mio Modero® R-2

The Mio Modero® 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.

Configuration Mode

The configuration mode allows you to set the following device features:

  • IR Transmit Mode (38 KHz, 455 KHz or both 38 KHz IR and RF)
  • Timeout Adjustment
  • Download Mode
  • Debug Mode
  • Battery Type
  • LED Awake Brightness
  • LED Sleep Brightness

To enter configuration Mode:

  1. Press and hold the STOP button and the INPUT button. The two buttons must be pressed within 0.1 seconds of each other and held down for 2 seconds. The device indicates you are now in configuration mode. See below for available modes.
  2. Press the EXIT key when you are finished.

Your settings will not be lost in the event your batteries die or are removed.

IR Transmit Mode

Pressing button "1" on the remote toggles the IR transmission mode between 38KHz, 455KHz, RF, and both 38KHz IR and RF. The display indicates the current mode.

Timeout Adjustment

Press button "2" on the remote to change the sleep timeout from the default. Each time "2" is pressed, the sleep timeout raises incrementally. The pre-determined sleep timeouts are:

  • 3 seconds
  • 6 seconds
  • 9 seconds
    • 12 seconds

The display indicates the selected sleep timeout.

AMX Mio Modero R-2 - Timeout Adjustment - 1

Download Mode

Pressing "3" on the remote toggles the Download mode OFF and ON. The Download mode must be ON before you can download a file to the Mio R-2 device. While the Download mode is ON the device will not go to sleep. A power cycle will return the device to Download OFF.

Debug Mode

Pressing button "4" on the remote toggles development mode between ON and OFF. The display indicates the selected mode. In development mode, the display shows the IR code assigned to buttons when pressed.

This mode is useful to the programmer when determining what IR codes are associated to each mode.

Battery Type

Pressing button "6" on the remote toggles the battery type between Normal and Recharge. The display indicates the selected type. The type of battery in the Mio R-2 dictates the battery type you need to set.

LED Awake Brightness

Pressing button "7" on the remote toggles the Power LED brightness mode from LOW to MED and then HIGH. The display indicates the selected mode.

LED Sleep Mode Brightness

Pressing button "8" on the remote toggles the Sleep brightness mode from OFF to LOW and then MED. The Sleep brightness is the state the Mio R-2 assumes while in the charging cradle.

TeleText Mode

For various reasons, the standard numeric keypad for the Mio R-2 may be bypassed in favor of using the TeleText mode. This mode allows the central toggle wheel to be used to enter alphanumeric information, such as passwords, much like the toggle wheel on a phone.

Pressing button "9" puts the central toggle wheel into TeleText mode. Press "9" again to leave TeleText mode.

Mio Remote Charging Base

The Mio remotes are complemented either with a Mio-RCC charging base (FG147-02) or the Mio-RCC rechargeable upgrade kit (FG147-03K). One charging base, a new back housing and a Mio-RBP rechargeable lithium ion battery (FG147-10) are included with the rechargeable upgrade kit. The charging base upgrade kit transforms the Mio R-1, R-2 and R-3 into a rechargeable device.

Begin with Installing The Rechargeable Battery for the Mio-RCC rechargeable upgrade kit (FG147-03K) or Charging The Mio Remote with Charging Base for the Mio-RCC charging base (FG147-02).

Charging The Mio Remote with Charging Base

The Mio remotes receive power for charging from a charging base.

  1. Connect the terminal end of the power supply to the bottom external power port on the Mio remote charging base. See FIG. 6 for location.

  2. Route the cable through the provided channel so that it comes out the side of the base.

  3. Connect the power cord to an external power source.

  4. Place the bottom of the Mio remote into the charging base so the contacts on the device are on top of the charging contacts inside the charging base. The Power LED on the Mio remote blinks red to indicate it is charging and illuminates solid red when it is done. Full charge cycle for a depleted battery is approximately 3 hours.

Avoid placing units equipped with AAA batteries in the charging base.

Changing Battery Modes

Configuration Mode

The configuration mode allows you to set the battery type. To enter configuration Mode:

  1. Press and hold the STOP button and the INPUT button simultaneously. The two buttons must be pressed within 0.1 seconds of each other and held down for 2 seconds. The device indicates you are now in configuration mode. See below for available modes.
