1. INTRODUCTION
2. INSTALLATION OF GARAGE DOOR RECEIVER
In this package, you will find a keychain transmitter with 12V alkaline battery,
a wireless switch receiver, a garage door receiver, a red / 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 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.

Remove 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. TROUBLE SHOOTING
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
transmitter 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.
