Getting Started
Fully charge your Mini Remote prior to programming or anytime the unit is not responding. Mini Remote
charges via USB cable (Type A to Micro-B, sold separately). The red charging LED will turn off once the
battery has been fully charged (approximately 1 hour). To turn on Mini Remote, simply slide the power
switch to the on position.
Note: Mini Remote uses a subtle beeper sound to assist setup. It is recommended that you program the
unit in a quiet area.
Scenes
Scene: One or more INSTEON devices which respond to an INSTEON controller. When the scene is
activated (turned “on”), all devices return to the states they were at when the scene was programmed.
INSTEON scenes let you activate dramatic lighting moods at the touch of a button. For example, you can
set all the lights in a scene to dim to 50% or turn certain lights on while turning others off, all with the tap
of a button on any INSTEON Controller. INSTEON scenes are easy to set up, just follow the directions
below.
Maximum number of scenes in Mini Remote Keypad: 8 (Default is 4)
Scene Control Functions supported; On, Off, Press and hold Bright, Press and hold Dim, Double-tap Fast
On and Double-tap Fast Off.

Remove Mini Remote (Button) as a Controller

very important that you remove its scene membership. Otherwise, Mini Remote will retry every scene
