The Mio Modero® R-3

The Mio Modero® R-3 remote provides custom control features, contained in an elegant handheld
rechargeable device. The Mio R-3 communicates with a NetLinx
The Mio R-3 is pre-loaded with firmware that allows joining to ZigBee Pro 2007 networks, but may be
upgraded with firmware allowing access to older ZigBee 2004 networks.

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 VisualArchitect and KeypadBuilder to properly program this device. The application and
documentation are available from www.amx.com.

Touch And Tilt Sensor

The Mio R-3 wakes up upon touching either the chrome side rails or pressing a button. When the remote times
out while holding it, you can reawaken the dev ice by tilting it. Errant jostling, such as a b umped table, will not
wake the device unless you are actually holding it.

The Mio Modero R-3 remote comes with a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery that needs to be installed before
use. T o install your Lithium-Ion battery into the device:

1. Flip and turn the device so that the buttons are facing away from you and the device is upside down.

2. Holding the device in both hands, place your thumbs on the battery door and slide the battery door free.

The battery door should slide toward the bottom end of the device.

3. Connect the terminal end of the Lithium-Ion battery to the port as shown in FIG. 2. It may be necessary to

use a thin, blunt, non-conductive object to seat the battery connector fully within its port.
