For questions about your Custom Programming call:

Custom Programming of a complex home theater and/or a multi-room
system is one of the most challenging tasks within an audio/video
installation. It involves an intimate knowledge of how the components
interact and exact details on the proper sequences of control.

Only a Complete Control dealer has the requisite experience and training
to quickly and effectively customize a remote control for true automated
operation.

MX-1200iCOLOR TOUCH SCREEN

Congratulations

Thank you for purchasing the
Complete Control MX-1200i touch
screen universal remote control.
This remote can wirelessly control
your devices throughout the home
using an RF base station.
Controlling your home is simple
with the MX-1200i remote.

Brilliant 2.4" color touch screen with audible button presses

The MX-1200i has a programmable 2.4” color touch screen. When any
button is pressed, an audible response is heard and the color LCD
screen, as well as the remote buttons, will light up.

Fast setup of complex systems via Complete Control PC Program

To fully automate your audio/video system, the programmer must
have detailed knowledge of each component and how the system is
connected and operated. Only a trained and certified professional
audio/video installer can install an MX-1200i remote control in a
timely and efficient manner.

User interface customizable for any activity

Each button is customizable for activities such as Watch TV or
Listen to Radio. These activities can contain multiple commands
(macros) which enable a single button press to turn the needed
devices ON or OFF.

Ultra-reliable narrow band RF - compatible with URC 433.92 MHz
RF Base Stations.

The MX-1200i can communicate directly to RF base stations, such
as the MRF-350i and the MRF-260i. It also natively communicates to
URC Lighting via 433 MHz RF. This gives the MX-1200i the ability to
control your system without being in direct line-of-sight.

Interchangeable Buttons

The MX-1200i has two interchangeable "hard" buttons. Choose from
any of the supplied buttons to fill these spaces.

Press the MAIN button to view your devices or the activities placed here by
your custom installation specialist. Large systems may have more than one
page. Press either of the PAGE buttons if you don't see all your devices.

Gently press any screen button with your finger to select an activity or a
device. The screen will change to display the buttons you need for that
activity/device. The PAGE buttons may reveal additional buttons for some
devices and activities.

When you would like to control another device, press the MAIN page
button and select a new device button.

The Main button
always displays
main menu pages.

The Volume and
Mute buttons are
always available
regardless of what
screen is displayed.

The Page buttons
display additional
pages of controls.

Use the supplied

buttons to

interchange

these two

“hard” buttons.

battery to the contacts on the MX-1200i. The battery will snap into
place when aligned properly. Replace the cover and snap it into
place.

Using the Charging Base

into the back of the charging base.

Gently place the MX-1200i into the cradle of
the charging base. It automatically aligns itself
to the contacts on the charging base.

the MX-1200i on its charging base whenever
it is not in use.

Maintaining Your MX-1200i

Be careful not to scratch the touch screen, only use your finger to tap
the LCD touch screen or use a plastic pen top or PDA stylus. Never use
a real pen, pencil or any other sharp object on the screen. Keep it away
from extreme cold or heat. The MX-1200i is not waterproof. Do not use
it in any location that is damp or wet. If you spill water on it, take out
the battery pack and let the MX-1200i dry for 48 hours before powering
it up again. If you spill coffee or another beverage on it, clean it with
distilled water. Make sure no water gets inside the MX-1200i. The touch
screen contains a glass element. Don’t drop the MX-1200i or impact it
against anything.

Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the screen. If the screen still shows
finger prints, clean it with watered down window-cleaner. Do not use
anything abrasive and don’t use too much water, some might leak into
the interior.
