AMX Mio R-2 Quick Start Manual

Overview
The Mio R-2 remote provides custom control features, contained in an elegant
handheld device. The Mio R-2 controls 6 different device modes, supports 3 macro
functions and is capable of executing 219 functions. The Mio R-2 can transmit in 38
KHz IR, 455 KHz IR, 418 RF (1-way) (FG147-418), 433 RF (1-way) (FG147-433), or
38 KHz and one of the RF frequencies.
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 KeypadBuilder to properly program this device. The application and
documentation are available from www.amx.com.
