2b.The Model 39 contains 2 brand jumpers and 12 code

connectors (see diagram C). The brand jumpers are
located just above the battery with markings “A” and
“B”. There are 2 connectors, one is placed on the “A”
column, the other one is placed on the “B” column.
For each column, there is a connector. If the connector
is placed on the top and middle post of that column,
that column is set on “+”. If the connector is placed
on the middle and bottom posts, that column is set on
“-“. If the connector is removed completely, that column
is set on “0” (see diagram C). In order for the Model
39 to work with your existing garage door opener
(motor), you need to set the brand jumpers based on
the brand of your existing garage door opener. Please
set these 2 brand jumpers “A” and “B” based on the
brand jumpers setting on chart 2. Please identify the
group number on chart 2 in order to determine which
is the next step to proceed.

* Note:

For Genie® IntellicodeTM, if the brand jumper for group 3 cannot operate your garage door

opener properly, please use setting A “+”, B “-”.

Note:
Proceed to this step only if the brand of your garage door opener belongs to
either group 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 on chart 2. Otherwise, proceed to Step 3 - Learn code.

4a. If the brand of your garage door opener belongs to groups 4 t o 8 ,

that means

you need to program the correct code setting in order for the Model 39 to
work with your existing garage door opener. There are 12 code connectors on
12 columns from 1 to 12 (see diagram E). Each column has one connector.
(see diagram F)

4b. Set the connectors numbered 1 through 12 to match the code setting of your

existing transmitter or receiver. There are 2 places you can find out the code
setting from a column of small switches of your existing garage door opener.

1) your existing transmitter (the unit you currently use to open your garage).

2) the receiver of your garage door
opener (the unit with the motor
mounted on the ceiling of your
garage).

Note:
Proceed to this step only if the brand of your garage door opener belongs
to either group 1, 2 or 3 on chart 2. Otherwise, proceed to Step 4 - Set
code connector.

3a. If your existing garage door opener belongs to any brand from group 1,

2 or 3, then you should find a “learn” button from the garage door opener
(the unit with the motor located on the ceiling of your garage, see dia­gram D). Press this learn button for approximately 2 seconds. The
LED light beside the learn button will go on and then press the button
on the Model 39 to activate it. The LED light on the garage door opener
will flash then go off.
The Model 39 is now programmed
to your existing garage door opener
and will operate your garage door.
Programming is now completed
and please refer to the “Battery”
section of this manual for battery
maintenance.

to the “ - ” position and the “ - ” position will be
changed to the “ + ” position. (see diagram J)

Set the connectors numbered 1 through 12 to match the
switches of your existing transmitter or receiver. If your
garage door opener is manufactured by (Stanley®, Genie® ,
Multi-Code® , Linear® , Moore-O-Matic® , Skylink® ) these
switches may only have two positions, ( “ + , ON, CLOSED”
and “ - , OFF, OPEN”). (see diagram I) Set the connectors
on the model 39 to “ + ” if your existing switches are
either “ +, ON, CLOSE ” and set to “ - ” if your existing
switches are either “ -, OF F, OPEN”. Do not use the blank
