Mio Modero® R-4 Remote Mio Modero® R-4 Remote Overview The Mio Modero® R-4 remote provides custom control features, contained in an elegant handheld rechargeable device. The Mio R-4 communicates with a NetLinx master via a wireless ZigBee network, making the Mio R-4 a mobile touch panel device. Selecting a source device sends a command to the master and runs predetermined events associated with that source.
Mio Modero® R-4 Remote Touch And Tilt Sensor The Mio R-4 wakes up upon touching the chrome side rails, touching the touch screen, or pressing a button. If the remote times out when holding it, you can reawaken the device by tilting it. Errant jostling, such as a bumped table, will not wake the device unless you are holding it.
Mio Modero® R-4 Remote Page Features The Mio R-4 device supports the following display features: General Buttons Bargraphs Multistate General Buttons Multistate Bargraph Buttons Joystick Buttons Animated Icons List Buttons Marquee Text These features can be implemented using TPDesign4 v2.7 or higher. Refer to the TPDesign4 online help or Instruction Manual for details. Device Navigation The Mio R-4 allows you to scroll pages using the up and down buttons beneath the touch screen (FIG. 1).
