Location: Select a convenient location near your device to be
controlled by the STAR450. For best performance, the STAR450
should be mounted in “Line-Of-Sight” with your intended
transmitting location. Avoid mounting the STAR450 in or on
metallic enclosures. If this is unavoidable, we recommend
installing the antenna extension kit (86LM) for best results. See
Remote Antenna Mounting for proper installation.
Receiver Mounting: Mount back plate to desired surface using #6
hardware (not provided). Hardware used will depend on mounting
application (refer to Figure 1 for receiver mounting hole
locations). Wire electrical connections to unit. Snap unit to back
plate.
Direct Antenna Mounting: Install the provided antenna onto the
STAR450 antenna connector by screwing the connector
clockwise. Slide the seal boot down to meet the O-ring, covering
the antenna hardware.
Figure 1
Figure 2
Remote Antenna Mounting: Use the optional 86LM antenna
extension kit to mount the remote antenna as high and far from
metal as possible for best radio range (Figure 2). Contact
LiftMaster customer service at: 1-800-528-2806 to order the
model 86LM.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from
electrocution:
• Be sure power is not connected BEFORE installing the
receiver.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a
moving gate or garage door:
• ALWAYS keep remote controls out of reach of children.
NEVER permit children to operate, or play with remote
controls.
• Activate gate or door ONLY when it can be seen clearly, is
properly adjusted, and there are no obstructions to door
travel.
• ALWAYS keep gate or garage door in sight until completely
closed. NEVER permit anyone to cross path of moving gate
or door.
