Mio Modero® R-3 Remote Control
There's a New R in the Family

The new Mio Modero R-3 is here and combines all of the great features of the stylish R-1 & R-2 but is equipped with ZigBee wireless technology, giving it a virtually unlimited coverage area, two-way communication and unlimited control of devices.

The new R-3 Remote gives the user advanced capabilities for the number of devices they want to control. AMX created a one-button menu that allows you to simply touch a single button and cycle through all of the controllable devices in the system. A virtually unlimited number of devices can be programmed on one receiver.

Additionally, with ZigBee, unique device IDs allow the R-3 to operate independently of other R-3 remotes within the same home, a feature previously unavailable with IR and RF signal communication formats.

The R-3 includes all of the great features of the new Mio Modero R-4 except for the touchscreen, which makes it perfect for users that would like to step up to the power of ZigBee but enjoy the elegant, traditional styling and features of the R-1 and R-2 remotes.

  • ZigBee Gateways and Repeaters are used in tandem with the R-3 for full coverage in the home or building.
  • Easy to configure through KeypadBuilder
  • 45 backlit, laser-engraved buttons
  • 9 buttons (3 Macro/6 Device) are custom-engraveable
  • Supports 14 languages for engraving and LCD display
  • Large, circular chrome button for simplified navigation
  • Instantly wakes up through touch, tilt, or push button
  • Easy-to-read LCD display
  • Black-brushed metal and chrome plating
  • Includes Charging Cradle for charging of lithium-ion
    rechargeable battery
