In this package, you will find a keychain transmitter with 12V alkaline

black wire, a mounting bracket and a clip.
Clip
The following instructions will show you how to install the receiver.
After installing, the keychain 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 15ft, so the receiver must be
pluggedinto anelectrical outletthat iswithin 15ftof thewall mounted
door control. If there is no electrical outlet within 15ft of the wall
mounteddoor control,an extensioncord canbe usedfor temporary
installation. Longer wire is available, please contact our customer
servicefor furtherinformation.
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.

3.TROUBLESHOOTING
Q: Door opener does not react after pressing the button on the transmitter ?
A: - Ensure when the button on the transmitter is pressed, the red light on the trans-
mitter comes on. Otherwise, check if the battery is inserted properly.
- The left button on the transmitter should be pressed, not the right button
- If the red light on the receiver flashes when you press the left button 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 transmitter is the same as the receiver. Refer
to section 5 to check the code setting.
