RF Settings Overview

The MX-350 is factory set to work out of the box with an MRF-100 base sta-

tion, which is not addressable. The only setting that affects operation with

an MRF-100 is the RF/IR setting (to operate, the MX-350 must be set to IR/RF

or RF- it will not operate the MRF-100 in IR mode). The MX-350 will operate

with an MRF-250 or MRF-350 base station set to ID#0 with the factory

default settings. However, in order to gain the advantages of addressable

base stations (no interference between systems within one house or a

condo development with potential interference between two different con-

dos, turning the front blaster on or off, or routing identical commands to a

stack of identical televisions or satellite receivers etc.) you must reset the

MX-350 and the Base Station ID# to any address other than ID#0. ID#0 is an

“open door” to any RF signal, it is not a true address. It is extremely useful

for testing whether any interference is present, since the base station’s STA-

TUS LED will flicker if interference is present. Once the base station is

moved to a location where the LED does not flicker, the ID# can be

changed to one of the other addresses.

Note that ID#0 does not allow any emitter or blaster configuration. Before

changing any emitter or blaster settings, you must reset the ID# to an

address other than 0. Here are the factory default RF settings of the MX-350:

IR/RF (Type of Signal) - All devices are factory set to send both an IR line of

sight signal and an omnidirectional RF signal.

ID# (Base Station Address) - All devices are factory set with ID #0.

EMITT (IR Emitter Line Output) - All devices are factory set to output IR com-

mands through ALL IR Emitter Line Outputs.

BLAST (Base Station Front Panel Blaster) - The blaster is factory set to be on.

Changing the RF Settings

Enter SETUP mode by pressing and holding both MAIN and ENT

for three seconds.

Note: You have 30 seconds for each step, otherwise the MX-350 will time

out automatically.

Press the PAGE buttons until page three of Setup is displayed (RF is

the only choice on Page 3).
