2. GARAGE DOOR RECEIVER INSTALLATION

The following instructions will show you how to install the receiver.

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.
