Chamberlain 959CB Owner's Manual

Model 959CB
Remote Control Security Transmitter
Features:
• This Remote Control Security Transmitter can be used with
most Chamberlain garage door openers sold since 1987.
This includes "Smart" openers as well as openers with 9
switch-settable codes. (It is not compatible with 8 switch-
settable codes.) This transmitter can be used as a
replacement for, or in addition to, most older style
transmitters.
• Personalized codes: Up to 3900 possible combinations.
Code can be easily changed. Different codes can be
programmed for use with more than one "Smart" opener.
• Flexible code length: Codes can be 2, 3, 4, or 5 digits.
• Power Supply: 9 volt battery.
Operation:
To activate the opener, press the numbers for your security
code and then press ENTER. The buttons will blink for
15 seconds after the code is transmitted. During that time, the
door can be stopped or reversed by pressing ENTER again.
If you accidentally press a wrong number, press ENTER and
start again. For convenient operation in the dark, the buttons
will light when any button is pressed.
Setting the code:
The opener and transmitter must be set to the same code
before they will work together. If you have a "Smart" opener
(with controls resembling Figure 3, below right), it will learn any
code you choose. Just follow the numbered instructions below.
If you have a "Smart" opener and also wish to continue using
older transmitters (the kind with a red light on the front and
switches inside for setting the code), then you must choose a
4-digit code. Follow the numbered instructions below to teach
your opener the code you choose, then use the instructions on
the other side to set the switches inside your older transmitters
to work with this new code.
If you have an older style opener which has switches for
setting the code, then skip the instructions below. Follow the
instructions on the other side to set the switches inside your
opener.
1. Decide on a 2, 3, 4 or 5 digit code using numbers from 0 to
9. Numbers may be used more than once (for example, 4,
0, 4, 1). Numbers that share the same button produce the
same code (i.e., 1 and 2, 3 and 4, etc.).
2. Press the selected digits on the transmitter buttons. (Do not
pause for more than 10 seconds, or the button light will turn
off and you will have to begin again.) Then press the
ENTER button and hold it down. (Do not hold it for more
than two minutes.)
3. While holding the ENTER button, press and release the
"Smart" button on the opener end panel (see Figure 3). The
green indicator light on the opener will flash and the door
may move. Release the ENTER button on the transmitter.
To stop or reverse the door press ENTER again.
Now the opener will operate whenever the transmitter code
followed by the ENTER button is pressed.
If you have any other transmitters, test to make sure they can
open the door. If they are the old style with a red light,
reprogram them according to the instructions on the other side.
To change codes at any time, repeat steps 1-3.
To comply with FCC/IC rules, adjustment or modification of receiver and/or
transmitter is prohibited, except for changing the code setting and replacing the
transmitter battery. THERE ARE NO OTHER USER SERVICEABLE PARTS.
Children operating or playing with a garage door opener
can injure themselves or others. The garage door could
close and cause serious injury or death. Do not allow
children to operate the wall push button(s) or remote
control(s).
A moving garage door could injure or kill someone under
it. Activate the opener only when you can see the door
clearly, it is free of obstructions, and is properly adjusted.
Battery:
The 9 volt battery should
produce power for at least
one year. As long as there is
adequate power, the buttons
will illuminate and the opener
will operate when the code
followed by the ENTER key
is pressed. Replace the
battery when button
illumination becomes dim.
To change the battery, remove the battery compartment cover
and unsnap the connector (see Figure 1). Remove the battery
and replace with a fresh 9V alkaline battery only. Snap the
connector onto the new battery and replace the compartment
cover.
