INSTALLATION
1. Open your garage door and park your vehicle outside of
the garage.
2. Determine the mounting location on or near the ceiling
and fasten the parking assist using the screw and anchor
provided (Figure 1).
3. Depress tabs under the wires and temporarily remove
the white and white/black safety sensor wires from the
garage door opener.
4. Stripping the wires prior to installation:
If installing one parking assist: Separate white and
white/black wires and strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation
from the parking assist wires.
If installing two parking assists: Cut 6" (15 cm) of
wires from the end of one of the parking assist wires for
use as connection wires. Separate white and white/black
wires and strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from both ends
of the connection wire.
5. Connecting the wires to install:
If installing one parking assist: Twist like colored wires
for the parking assist and the safety sensors together.
Insert twisted wires into quick-connect holes: white to
white and white/black to grey (Figure 2).*
If installing two parking assists: Separate white and
white/black wires and strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation
from the end of the parking assist wires. Twist like
colored wires for the parking assist, safety sensors and
connection wire together. Secure with wire nut (provided).
Insert loose end of connection wires into quick-connect
holes: white to white and white/black to grey (Figure 3).*
* Please reference your garage door opener owner’s
manual for proper wire installation.
SET UP AND ADJUSTMENT
1. Drive your vehicle into the garage and park in the location
you want to park your vehicle each time (Figure 4).
2. Activate the parking assist locator by obstructing the path
of the safety reversing sensors. The laser will emit a
pulsing bright red beam. Using the swivel mount, aim the
red beam to a location on the dash or hood that can
easily be seen while seated in the driver’s seat.
NOTE: The laser will shut off automatically in 1 minute. If
you are not finished adjusting the beam and it turns off,
simply obstruct the path of the safety reversing sensors
again to re-activate the beam.
3. Sit in the driver’s seat and confirm that you can easily
see the location of the red beam. This location is now
your point of reference for parking your vehicle (Figure 5).
CAUTION: Do not stare directly into the beam. Repeat
steps for installation on optional 2nd laser accessory kit.
To avoid eye INJURY or damage to product:
• NEVER point the laser at anyone.
• NEVER look directly into the laser beam.
• NEVER disassemble the laser.
• The parking assist is NOT a substitute for safe parking
practices.
• Use of controls or adjustments, or the performance or
procedures other than specified can result in hazardous
radiation exposure.
• ONLY for use on Chamberlain manufactured garage door
openers.

NOTE: Periodic adjustment of the beam may be required
from time to time and is to be used only with the vehicle
used during the initial setup. Re-set the adjustment
according to SET UP and ADJUSTING steps 1-3 for that
vehicle.
OPERATION
1. Open the garage door by activating the automatic
garage door opener and drive your vehicle into parking
space.
2. The red beam can be seen moving across the hood of
your vehicle as you drive further into the garage
(Figure 5).
3. Stop the vehicle when the beam is positioned at the
location you confirmed in step 3 during the Set Up and
Adjustment (Figure 6).
NOTE: The laser is automatically actuated every time you
drive into your garage. The beam will automatically
deactivate after approximately 1 minute. A residual
reflection of the red beam from the windshield may appear
on the walls or objects in your garage. When operating a
vehicle, always ensure that there are no objects on the
floor of the garage or in the path of your vehicle. This
parking assist is not a substitute for safe parking practices.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the laser does not emit a beam:
• Verify nothing is obstructing the safety sensor lens.
• Verify nothing is blocking the parking assist lens.
• Verify that connections are not reversed wired.
• Verify that all connections are secure as identified in the
installation.
• Confirm that the parking assist is aimed toward the
garage floor.
• Obstruct the path of the safety reversing sensors and
look for the red spot on the garage floor.
Please refer to your Liftmaster owner’s manual for
additional information on your garage door opener and the
safety sensors.
