keypad for use in low light or dark conditions.
Battery type: The MX-500 TM uses 4 standard disposable
alkaline AAA batteries, or the new rechargeable alkaline
batteries.

program a preprogrammed remote control, or the actual
infrared signals transmitted by remote controls to devices.

LCD screen is for viewing, or a specific adjustment that
allows you to customize the screen's visible characteristics.
