!!! IMPORTANT !!! 

When installing an MRA-664 that has previously been configured in stand-alone mode, its configuration MUST be 
reset to its default (unconfigured) state.  Doing this requires version 1.4.5xx or greater of the MRA software.  Once 
installed, enter PIN code 1354 in the Configuration Wizard to access a configuration reset button. 

 

Using KP7 Keypads:  Older versions of the MRA Software have a communication device for the KP7 that can interfere 
with the communication device in ELAN, resulting in incorrect feedback when saving favorites.  Version 1.4.5xx and 
above of the MRA software correct this issue.
