Congratulations

Thank you for purchasing the Complete Control MX-890 color LCD

screen universal remote control. This remote can directly control your

devices via IR or wirelessly control your devices throughout the home

using an RF base station. Controlling your home is simple with the

MX-890 remote.

Brilliant 2" color LCD screen with pickup sensor

The MX-890 has a programmable 2” color LCD screen. When the

remote is picked up, the color LCD screen as well as the remote

buttons, will light up.

Control devices using ultra-reliable narrow band RF

The MX-890 can communicate directly to RF base stations, such

as the MRX-1/RFX-250, MRF-350 and the MRF-260. It also natively

communicates to URC Lighting via RF. This gives the MX-890 the

ability to control your system without being in direct line-of-sight.

Identify a remote using Room Labels

Use the included room labels to keep track of each room’s MX-890.

No longer will you have the kitchen remote in the living room; simply

add a room label for easy identification.

Charging Base Included..no need for batteries

There is no need to constantly purchase batteries, just place the

remote on the charging base and recharge the battery...DONE!

Fast setup of complex systems via Complete Control PC Program

To fully automate your audio/video system, the programmer must

have detailed knowledge of each component and how the system is

connected and operated. Only a trained and certified professional

audio/video installer can program an MX-890 remote control in a

timely and efficient manner.

User interface customizable for any activity

Each button is customizable for activities such as Watch TV or

Listen to Radio. These activities can contain multiple commands

(macros) which enable a single button press to turn the needed

devices ON or OFF. Only a trained and certified professional

audio/video installer can program an MX-890 remote control in a

timely and efficient manner.
