All products returned to AMX require a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number. The RMA number is obtained

(including negligence and strict product liability), a contract claim, or any other claim. This limitation of liability cannot
be waived or amended by any person. This limitation of liability will be effective even if AMX or an authorized representative of AMX has been advised of the possibility of any such damages. This limitation of liability, however, will not
apply to claims for personal injury.
Some states do not allow a limitation of how long an implied warranty last. Some states do not allow the limitation or
exclusion of incidental or consequential damages for consumer products. In such states, the limitation or exclusion of
the Limited Warranty may not apply. This Limited Warranty gives the owner specific legal rights. The owner may also
have other rights that vary from state to state. The owner is advised to consult applicable state laws for full determination of rights.
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS WARRANTY, AMX MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES,
EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR
A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. AMX EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES NOT STATED IN THIS LIMITED

Overview
The Mio Modero® R-3
Overview
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
master via a wireless Zigbee®
network. 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.
