retains all of the programs and learned functions for an
extended period in the event of battery loss.
Backlight: A feature that illuminates the LCD screen or
keypad for use in low light or dark conditions.
Battery type: The MX-500TM uses 4 standard disposable
alkaline AAA batteries, or the new rechargeable alkaline
batteries.
Codes: Can refer to either the numeric codes needed to
program a preprogrammed remote control, or the actual
infrared signals transmitted by remote controls to devices.

Contrast: Either an arbitrary description of how "clear" an
LCD screen is for viewing, or a specific adjustment that
allows you to customize the screen's visible characteristics.
Delay: Usually a pause placed between two steps in a

to properly sense two separate commands, or may be used
to wait for a device to finish powering up. The MX-500TM
allows you to change that delay.
