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 15ft, so the receiver must be
plugged into an electrical outlet that is within 15ft of the wall mounted
door control. If there is no electrical outlet within 15ft of the wall
mounted door control, an extension cord can be used for temporary
installation. Longer wire is available, please contact our customer
service for further information.

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 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.
