Keyless Entry for Garage Doors

2. INSTALLATION

The following instructions will show you how to install the receiver. 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.

3. TROUBLE SHOOTING

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 and [#]. If you do not hear 3 beeps, that means the PIN
you entered is incorrect. Re-enter the correct PIN.

- If the red light on the receiver flashes after entering the PIN on the
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.

- Ensure the wires that are previously connected to the wall mounted
door control are not loose.

- Ensure the code setting on the keypad transmitter is the same as the
receiver. Refer to section 4 to check the code setting.
