Linear MVP Manual

Operational Check
After installing your receiver and transmitter, check
the operation of your radio controls by moving
approximately 45 feet back from the garage door, then
press the transmitter button. Operation at this distance
should be reliable. However, environmental
conditions and the location of the transmitter and
receiver will affect distance.
•
If the transmitter doesn't activate the operator check
the coding on both the transmitter and receiver. The
code setting must match exactly . This may necessi-
tate a reprogramming of the transmitter and receiver.
•
If the distance is inadequate check the battery and
replace if necessary.
•
To maximize the operating distance move the
transmitter to different locations in the car until a
satisfactory distance is achieved. Vanity mirrors on
sun visors will affect performance.
