2. SET BRAND JUMPER
2a. To set the brand jumpers, open the
case with a coin (see diagram B).
2b. The Model G5M contains 2 brand jumpers and 12 code connectors
(see diagram C). The brand jumpers are located just above the
battery with markings "A" and "B". There are 2 connectors, one is
placed on the "A" column, the other one is placed on the "B" column.
For each column, there is a connector. If the connector is placed on
the top and middle post of that column, that
column is set on "+". If the connector is
placed on the middle and bottom posts, that
column is set on "-". If the connector is
removed completely, that column is set on "0"
(see diagram C). In order for the Model G5M to
work with your existing garage door opener
(motor), you need to set the brand jumpers
based on the brand of your existing garage
door opener. Please set these 2 brand jumpers
"A" and "B" based on the brand jump ers setting
on chart 2. Please identify the group number
on chart 2 in order to determine which is the
next step to proceed.
