Mio R-1 Remote Control Device

Overview

The Mio R-1 (FG147) remote provides custom control features, contained in an
elegant handheld device. The Mio R-1 controls 6 different device modes, supports 3
macro functions and is capable of executing 219 functions.
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.

Programming The Mio R-1 Using KeypadBuilder

Most functionality of the Mio R-1 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-1 recognizes. For a full list
and descriptions, consult the Mio R-1 Instruction Manual on www.amx.com.

Using Connector Ports on The Mio R-1

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. The Mio communicates at 115200 baud rate.
To download KeypadBuilder Configuration Files:

1. Set the Mio R-1 Download mode to ON. See the Configuration Mode section
for details.

2. Flip and turn the Mio R-1 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.

4. Connect the 2.5 mm stereo plug (male) end of the programming cable (FG10-

817) into the 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.
