Maintaining Your MX-6000 16

Specifications 16

You've purchased a unique synthesis of hardware and software engineering, the Complete Control MX-6000. The twin goals of the design team were to improve the elegance and usability of touch screens through the physical design while providing a new standard in brightness, clarity and animation for the touch screen itself.

Easy Operation

By assigning the important home theater operational buttons to the natural resting place of the end users thumbs, the MX-6000 achieves a new standard in use and comfort.

Automatic Backlighting

The integral motion sensor detects any movement of the touch screen and automatically backlights the screen. You do not have to press any button to display the screen. Any movement of the MX-6000 renews the backlighting. To adjust the backlighting, see page 11.

Programming the MX-6000

To fully automate an audio/video system and integrate two way automation of servers etc. the programmer must have a detailed knowledge of each component, LAN configuration, WiFi optimization and how the system is connected and operated. Only a trained and certified professional audio/video installer can install an MX-6000 automation system in a timely and efficient manner.

Integrated Stylus

Stowed away in the top right hand corner storage slot, is a custom made stylus for your convenience.

Connecting the Battery Pack

Unlock the rear cover by pressing down on the two locking tabs and sliding the battery cover forward.

Remove the cover. For shipment from the factory, the battery is left out of the MX-6000. Place the battery into the battery compartment, making sure you align the contacts on the battery to the contacts on the MX-6000. The battery will snap into place when aligned properly.

Replace the cover and snap it into place.

Using the Charging Base

Plug the 6V DC adapter into a power outlet and into the back of the charging base.

Gently place the MX-6000 into the cradle of the charging base. It automatically aligns itself to the contacts on the charging base.

The Status light should immediately light. Red indicates that it is charging. Blue shows that it is fully charged. There is no harm in leaving the MX-6000 on its charging base whenever it is not in use.

Red indicates charging, Blue that the remote is fully charged.

Two Way via WiFi

To use the MX-6000 with any two way companion product, the MX-6000 must be configured by your installer to be part of a LAN (local area network) via a WiFi b/g access point or router. This is not user configurable. If you have any questions, consult with your custom installer.

Optional RF "No Rules" Operation

In combination with an MSC-400 Master System Controller, or an RF Base Station, the MX-6000 can control your system without being in line-of-sight of the equipment.

The MSC-400 enhances the capabilities of the MX-6000 by storing and issuing Smart Macros to your main system components. It is triggered by RF Smart Macro commands via RF (radio frequency). In addition, your MX-6000 can control components in secondary rooms and systems via MRF-350 or MRF-260 RF base stations.

1. The MX-6000 sends radio waves in every direction, so you don't have to point the remote anymore!

1. The RFX-250 RF Sensor can be freely positioned for optimal reception.

2. The MSC-400 can control IR, RS232 and Relay controlled devices.

1. Self-adhesive "Flashers" affix to the Infrared sensors on the front panels of your components. Uniquely, all Complete Control base stations can also connect to components with rear panel IR Inputs via adjustable IR Line Outputs. The MSC-400 offers RS-232 control via rear panel connections as well.

USA and Canada Safety Requirements and Notices

IMPORTANT NOTE: To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, the antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Radio Frequency Interference Requirements and SAR

The FCC with its action in ET Docket 93-62 has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC certified equipment. The wireless LAN module meets the Human Exposure limits found in OET Bulletin 65, 2001, and ANSI/IEEE C95.1, 1992. Proper operation of this radio according to the instructions found in this manual will result in exposure substantially below the FCC's recommended limits. The following safety precautions should be observed:

• Do not touch or move antenna while the unit is transmitting or receiving.
• Do not hold any component containing the radio such that the antenna is very close or touching any exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting.
• Do not operate the radio or attempt to transmit data unless the antenna is connected; if not, the radio may be damaged.

Use in specific environments:

• The use of wireless devices in hazardous locations is limited by the constraints posed by the safety directors of such environments.
• The use of wireless devices on airplanes is governed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
• The use of wireless devices in hospitals is restricted to the limits set forth by each hospital.

Antenna use:

- High-gain, wall-mount, or mast-mount antennas are designed to be professionally installed and should be located at a minimum distance of 30 cm (12 inches) or more from the body of all persons. Please contact your professional installer, VAR, or antenna manufacturer for proper installation requirements.

Explosive Device Proximity Warning

WARNING: Do not operate a portable transmitter (such as a wireless network device) near unshielded blasting caps or in an explosive environment unless the device has been modified to be qualified for such use.

Use on Aircraft Caution

CAUTION: Regulations of the FCC and FAA prohibit airborne operation of radio-frequency wireless devices because their signals could interfere with critical aircraft instruments.
