INSTALLATION

STEP 1
CH ECK COMPATIBILITY
Please kindly visit our website to check most of our compatible and
incompatible garage door openers:
Compatible models:https://micmi.com/compatible/
Incompatible models: https://micmi.com/incompatible/
If your model is in the compatible list, go to step 2.
If your model is in the incompatible list, your device may not be
compatible, so STOP and contact us.
If your model is not in both lists, then try to check the compatibility by
yourself.
How to Check the Compatibility by Yourself?
Take a wire with both ends stripped or a straightened-out paper clip
and put each end to the same terminals where the wall button wires are
terminated.
After that, can your garage door opener be activated?
-----Yes. It is compatible with WitGarage. Go to step 2.
-----No. It is incompatible with WitGarage. STOP and contact us.
Note: If you still don’t know how to do the compatibility test, please contact
our sales for help. You can also leave messages on our website or send us email
