Meaning of Display
UNUSE PASS Turn off password security
USE PASS Turn on password security
RES PASS Reset to factory default password "000"
CHANGE PASS Change to new password
If for any reason the password is lost or forgotten, unscrew the 4 small screws at the corners of the MML16C, take
off the side plates and slide out the PCB. On the back of that PCB, there is a red 8 DIP switch block. The 8
concerns the password: on = password disabled ; off = password enabled. Move it to ON (disable password) and
then follow the "Steps to change password" from step 1 to 7. In step 7, press ENT to reset the factory default
password (000). Set switch 8 back to OFF to start using the new password. You may disable the password protection
feature by leaving switch 8 in the ON position.
6. Programming
The MML16C can store up to 100 messages in numbered data files (from 00 to 99). File 00 is the factory built demo
message and cannot be modified or deleted.
A simple message in five easy steps:
Note: Underline denotes words or numbers to type, boxes denote key names.
To correct a mistake, press the DEL key to remove it.
Toggle between capital and small letters by pressing the CAP key, insert a space by pressing SPA
and use ALT + XXX to display the character above the XXX key.

You have just created your first message! Here are some important things that you learned from this first exercise:
• An audible beep is heard when the unit accepts programming input from the remote. This is an additional way
besides viewing the unit to assure you that the button you pressed has been received and understood.
• The programming of a message can be as simple or as complex as you desire ; you decide what you want your
message to say and how best to display it.
• The default colour for messages is bright Red. A list of all colour possibilities can be found in §4.
• At the end of the programming sequence, you have the option to save your message. If you only need to display a
message for a single occasion, select N to not save your message as a numbered data file. Your message will still
be displayed, but the next time you open up the numbered data file, the message will not exist.
• The MML16C always begins the editing of a new message with the default method of display as [CYCLIC], which
stands for cycle through all colour and method possibilities.
• Follow this procedure to enter up to 99 messages, with the total number of characters < 7000.
7. Running a Saved Message
Upon power-on, the MML16C will display the last edited/modified message, but the user can choose any message:
