2b. The Model 69 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 ismovedre completely, that column is set on “0” (see diagram C). In order for the Model 69 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 “+”.
STEP 3 - LEARN CODE
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 69 to activate it. The LED light on the garage door opener will flash then go off.
The Model 69 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.
STEP 4 - SET CODE CONNECTORS
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 to 8, that means you need to program the correct code setting in order for the Model 69 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).
