Backlight Function

Your FRM-3 features a backlight capability that

allows you to effortlessly operate this remote control

in a darkened environment. Since battery lifespan is

substantially reduced when the backlighting feature

is activated, the FRM-3 includes 3 different

operational modes to help preserve battery life:

Default Mode (#1): The backlight is triggered on by

either moving the remote control (via an internal

motion detector) or by pressing any button on the

remote’s keypad; The backlight will remain
illuminated for a full five (5) seconds after the last

event (motion or pressed button). To activate the

“Default Mode”, press and hold the “CD” button for

three (3) seconds. The backlight will illuminate once,

very briefly for confirmation.

Button Mode (#2): The backlight is triggered ONLY

by pressing any button on the remote’s keypad - the

internal motion detector is deactivated; The

backlight will remain illuminated for a full five (5)

seconds after the last button is pressed. To activate

the “Button Mode”, press and hold the “AMP” button
for three (3) seconds. The backlight will illuminate

twice, very briefly for confirmation.

Off Mode (#3): The backlight feature is completely

disabled. To activate the “Off Mode”, press and hold
the “DAC” button for three (3) seconds. The

backlight will illuminate three times, very briefly for

confirmation.

Figure 4: Remote Operation with SimLink™ and 12V Trigger

In figure 4 we have a 180 MiND Music Streamer

connected to a 650D DAC via their respective

SimLink™ ports (using a 1/8” mini-jack cable), and

the 650D connected to a 740P Preamplifier also via
their respective SimLink™ ports. Finally, the 740P is

connected to a 860A amplifier via their respective

12V Triggers (also using a 1/8” mini-jack cable);The

12V trigger output on the 740P is connected to the

12V trigger input on the 860A. When you launch

the MiND App on your Apple smart device (full list

on the MiND page of our website)

and select this

system’s ZONE, the 180 MiND will turn on, as will

the 650D, 740P and 860A; The 740P will
automatically switch to the “MiND” assigned input,

as described previously in the “Software Setup”

section. To shut down the system, press “Off” for

this ZONE in the MiND app.
