  • Page 16: Replacing The Lithium Battery

    All control commands in television controller memory are lost when the lithium battery is replaced. Contact your AMX dealer before you replace the lithium battery to verify that they have a current copy of the IRLIB program file for your television controller. This will prevent any inadvertent loss of data or service outage.
  • Page 17 Dispose of the used battery according to the manufacturer's instructions. Never recharge, disassemble, or heat the battery above 212 °F (100 °C). Never solder directly to the battery or expose the contents of the battery to water. AXB-TC and AXB-TCR Television Controllers (& Receivers)

  • Page 19: Programming Information

    Overview The television controllers are controlled with channel settings, IR functions, and Axcess Send_Commands. You create software programs with the AMX Axcess programming software. Use the programming information in this section with the Axcess Programming Guide to program television controllers. After you create the IRLIB program, download it to the non-volatile (battery protected) memory in the television controller.
