SkyLink 38 User Instructions

PROGRAMMING THE TRANSMITTER

Thank you for your purchase of the Skylink garage door remote
control, Model 38. There are 3 different steps you need to setup
in order to use this universal garage door remote control to operate
your existing garage door opener. These 3 steps are:
1) Frequency switch – select the correct frequency according to
the brand of your existing garage door opener.
2) Brand jumper – place the brand jumper at the correct position
according to the brand of your existing garage door opener.
3) Code setting – Set the jumper connectors on the Model 38 so
that they match the code setting of your existing garage door
opener.
Please follow the detailed instructions below in order to setup the
Skylink Model 38 to work with your existing opener.
After setting up the Model 38, you can activate the remote by pressing
and holding the button for approximately 2 seconds. This is to
avoid accidentally pressing the button and activating the garage
door opener.
