WARNINGS FOR THE INSTALLER
Carefully read all instructions and warnings in this document as they provide important information regarding
safety during installation, operation and maintenance.
After removing the packing, check the condition of the device. The packaging must not be left within reach
of children as it is potentially harmful. Installation must be carried out in accordance with national safety
regulations.
This device must only be used for the purpose for which it was expressly designed, e.g. for automation
systems for gates and garage doors.
Any other use is considered improper and therefore hazardous. The manufacturer declines all liability for
damage caused by improper, incorrect or unreasonable use.
Always disconnect the device from the power supply at the main switch before performing maintenance or
cleaning procedures.
In the event of faults and/or malfunctions, disconnect the power supply immediately by means of the switch
and do not tamper with any part. For repairs, contact only a service centre authorized by the manufacturer.
Failure to observe the above may impair equipment safety.
All devices within the installation must be used exclusively for the purpose for which they are intended.
This document must always be kept with all paperwork regarding the installation.
Directive 2002/96/EC (WEEE).
The crossed out wheelie bin symbol marked on the equipment indicates that, at the end of its useful working
life, the product must be handled separately from household refuse and must therefore be assigned to a
differentiated collection centre for electrical and electronic equipment or returned to the dealer upon purchase
of a new, equivalent item of equipment.
The user is responsible for ensuring the appliance is disposed of through the correct channels when no longer
in service. Proper sorted waste collection for subsequent recycling, processing and environmentally conscious
disposal of the old appliance helps to prevent any possible negative impact on the environment and human
health while promoting the practice of recycling materials used in manufacture. For more detailed information
regarding available waste collection systems, contact your local waste disposal service or the shop from which
the appliance was purchased.
Risks associated with substances considered hazardous (WEEE).
According to the new WEEE Directive, substances which for some time have been widely used in electrical and
electronic equipment are considered hazardous to human heath and the environment. Proper sorted waste
collection for subsequent recycling, processing and environmentally conscious disposal of the old equipment
helps to prevent any possible negative impact on the environment and human health while promoting the
practice of recycling materials used in manufacture.

6 - Saving remote controls:
Note:
The receiver can save rolling-code and xed code remote controls. The rst saved remote control determines the code
accepted by the receiver. The receiver memory does not accept mixed coding.
To change the coding accepted by the receiver, delete all remote controls in the memory.
To save the remote controls proceed as shown in the table below:

7 - Saving remote controls via radio:
The saving via radio function is used to save remote controls not in the memory without directly using the receiver
programming buttons, but using only the rst remote control saved or another remote control already in the memory.
This function is available only for rolling-code remote controls.
To enable or disable remote control saving via radio select the following jumper position JP1:
