The Model 85 Transformer may be required if your garage door opener is a brand OTHER THAN Lift-Master, Chamberlain or Sears. RADIO CONTROLS consist of a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter sends a coded signal from outside the garage. The receiver, installed inside the garage, accepts the transmitted signal and starts the door opener. When installing two or more receivers in a garage, position them at least 10 feet apart to prevent electronic interference. Self sevice of radio controls is not recommended. If service is needed, follow instructions on Page 2. INSTALL THE RECIEVER OUT OF THE REACH OF CHLDREN. DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO OPERATE RECEIVER OR TRANSMITTER. SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY FROM A CLOSING GARAGE DOOR MAY RESULT FROM MISUSE OF THE OPENER. DISCONNECT POWER TO OPENER BEFORE INSTALLATION RECEIVER OR SETTING/CHANGING CODE. The receiver may be installed in one if two ways: 1: attached to an inside wall of the garage with connecting bell wire (not supplied) 2. mounted directly directly on the door opener with clips provided. NOTE: Receiver and transmitter are factory pre-set with matching codes. Caution: DO not attempt to open receiver back panel. NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS MOUNTING RECEIVER ON OPENER Make sure antenna wire is fully extended downward below bottom of case. Loosen the three receiver terminal screws labeled 1, 2 and 3.
