2. INSTALLATION
The following instructions will show you how to install the rece iver. After
installing, the keyless entry transmitter (already programmed to the
receiver) can be used to operate your garage door opener.
You need to locate 2 things inside your garage to install the receiver:
1) the wall-mounted door control;
2) an electrical outlet, select an electrical outlet different from the one
already connected to the power cord of the garage door opener to
reduce the chance of interference. The further distance between
the receiver and the garage door opener, the less interference
between 2 devices.
Note: The length of the red/black wire is 20ft, so the receiver must be
plugged into an electrical outlet that is within 20ft of the wall mounted
door control. If there is no electrical outlet within 20ft of the wall
mounted door control, an extension cord can be used for temporary
installation.

Q: Door opener does not react after pressing the button on the transmitter.
A:- Ensure you hear 3 beeps from the keypad transmitter after entering
the default PIN [0,0,0,0], [#], [1]. If you do not hear 3 beeps, that means
the PIN you entered is incorrect. Re-enter the correct PIN.

transmitter, but the door opener does not respond, please ensure the
red/black wire is successfully connected from the receiver to the
wall mounted door control.
