The following instructions will show you how to install the receiver.
After installing, the keychain transmitter 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.
1Remove the wall-mounted door control from the wall by
removing the screws.Connect the stripped ends of the Red/
Black wire to the 2 terminals (2 screws) on the back of the
wall mounted door control. (Polarity does not matter.)
Unplug the power cord of your garage door opener before
installation to ensure power is not connected.
