DESCRIPTION
The Miro Key Fob (MKFOB) is a battery powered, Top Dog™
enabled remote device, which allows the user to recall and
record scenes in a Miro wireless network. The key fob can
be placed on a key-chain or in the included visor clip and
attached to a car visor or similar surface.
The unit has three operating modes. The operating mode
determines which scenes the MKFOB will execute. It is
equipped with three buttons so it can execute up to three
scenes that are recorded using the key fob itself or a Miro
wireless room or house scene controller.
The open field operating range between the key fob and
other Miro wireless devices is 100 feet. The actual range
will vary according to the type of construction being used
and whether there are objects between the user and the
devices on which the scenes will execute. Since the key fob
uses radio transmission (as opposed to infrared), line-ofsight is not required.
A typical key fob application is to control house level scenes
using operating Mode-1. For example:
• Button 1 turns on a pathway of light in the house
• Button 2 turns off all except for selected night-lights
• Button 3 turns off all lights
Another common application is to control house level
scenes including a “panic” scene using Mode-2. For
example:
• Button 1 turns on a pathway of lights in the house
• Button 2 turns off all lights in the house
• Button 3 evokes the panic feature (lights on dimmers
flash and those on switches come on to full bright)
A less common, but possible application is to control room
level and house level scenes using Mode-3. For example:
• Button 1 recalls the lights in a particular room, such as
the great room
• Button 2 turns off all, or selected lights in the room
• Button 3 turns off all, or selected house lights
These three applications are typical, however the user can
record scenes in any number of ways. For example, Mode-1
could be used to have three different arrival scenes (lights
on) or leaving/night scenes (lights off). Just remember that
each button can only recall one specific scene as described
in the Operating Mode sections on the next page. For
example, house scenes 1, 5, and 11 are the only scenes that
can be recalled in Mode-1.

Top Dog™ Wireless Communication
Wireless devices use radio signals to communicate with
each other to control lighting and other types of electric
loads in selected areas. These wireless devices use the
900MHz band for high-speed control communication. Using
Watt Stopper “frequency-agile” Top Dog™ technology,
these wireless devices avoid interference with other
900MHz devices, such as cordless phones and baby
monitors.
APPLICATION ASSISTANCE
The MKFOB functions as part of a network that contains
Top Dog enabled wireless devices that may include Miro
architectural or decorator-style in-wall devices as well as
portable remote controls and other accessories. Prior to
using the key fob the other devices should be installed and
programmed.
A MKFOB may be added to a Miro or Miro decorator
wireless installation at any time and there is not any limit
to the number that can be used.
Normally, at least one room or house scene controller
is installed in a Miro system. To operate the key fob in a
Miro system without a scene controller, contact technical
support or look for the Application Note on our website.
Instructions for other Miro devices, including
binding operations and use are included with
the devices. Application support information and
installation guides are available on our website.
* Throughout this instruction, we use “yellow” to
represent the yellow/amber color of the LED, which is a
combination of green and red.
KEY FOB SETUP INSTRUCTIONS:
Prior to setting up the key fob:
• Install your Top Dog enabled wireless devices (dimmers,
switches, plug-in modules, scene controllers, etc.).
• Configure your Top Dog enabled wireless system (including
scene setting if you have scene controllers in the system)
following the directions provided with each device.
• We recommended that you also read the Miro Installation
Manual, which is available online.
Now you can set up the key fob to work within the wireless
system by simply setting the House ID and Setting the Operating
Mode. If your system does NOT include a scene controller, see
the Application Note titled “Easy Setup Without a House Scene
Controller,” which is available online.
Set House ID
All Top Dog enabled wireless devices installed in the same home
must acquire the same unique House ID before use. This process
is called house binding. Each device is bound to all other Top Dog
enabled wireless devices in the house. The following sequence
assumes that the other devices in the house have already
received the House ID.
1. Momentarily press any button on the MKFOB. The LED
should be solid yellow/amber (a combination of green
and red) and should remain lit for about one minute. This
indicates that it has not yet acquired a House ID; proceed
to step 2. If the LED is a color other than yellow* see
Troubleshooting.
2. Go to any device already bound to the house (identified
by a solid green LED) and initiate binding by pressing the
binding activation keys until its LED flashes yellow (about
2 seconds). Binding is typically initiated by simultaneously
pressing and holding the top and bottom of a paddleoperated device.
3. If the LED on the MKFOB is still lit when you complete the
previous step, it turns green when it receives the House ID,
then it begins flashing green.
If the LED on the MKFOB is not lit, press and hold any button
until the LED turns green indicating that it received the
House ID.
4. Return to the same device used to initiate the binding and
end the binding by pressing the binding activation keys until
the device LED changes to solid green (about 2 seconds). All
device LEDs should now be solid green.
Set the MKFOB Operating Mode
Review the following sections that describe Operating Mode-1,
Operating Mode-2 and Operating Mode-3. Choose the operating
mode that you wish to use. Note that each operating mode
recalls specific scenes. For example, Operating Mode-1 (default)
recalls house scenes 1, 5, and 11 from buttons 1, 2, and 3.

Scene 11 is the scene that
executes when you press
the bottom of the ON/OFF
paddle on a house level
controller, which has a
default operation of turning
off all devices bound to the
house.
