Location: Select a convienent location near your device to be
controlled by the STAR250. For best performance, the STAR250
should be mounted in "Line-Of-Sight" with your intended
transmitting location. Avoid mounting the STAR250 in or on
metallic enclosures. If this is unavoidable, we recommend
installing the antenna extension kit (86LM) for best results. See
Remote Antenna Mounting for proper installation.
Receiver Mounting: Mount Backplate to desired surface using #6
hardware (Not provided). Hardware used will depend on on
mounting application. (Refer to figure 1 for Receiver mounting
hole locations). Wire electrical connections to unit. Snap Unit to
Back Plate.
Direct Antenna Mounting: Install the supplied antenna onto the
STAR250 antenna connector by screwing the connector
clockwise. Slide the seal boot down to meet the O-Ring, covering
the antenna hardware.

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from electrocution:
• Be sure power is not connected BEFORE installing the receiver.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a moving
gate or garage door:
PAGE
• ALWAYS keep remote controls out of reach of children. NEVER
permit children to operate, or play with remote control transmitters.
• Activate gate or door ONLY when it can be seen clearly, is properly
adjusted, and there are no obstructions to door travel.
• ALWAYS keep gate or garage door in sight until completely closed.
NEVER permit anyone to cross path of moving gate or door.
Remote Antenna Mounting: Use the optional 86LM antenna
extension kit to mount the remote antenna as high and far from
metal as possible for best radio range (Figure 2). Contact

To adjust the range on a Chamberlain LiftMaster STAR250, follow these steps:

1. Ensure Line-of-Sight Mounting: Mount the STAR250 in a clear line-of-sight with the intended transmitting location.
2. Avoid Metal Enclosures: Do not install the unit inside or on metallic enclosures, as this can reduce signal range.
3. Use an Antenna Extension Kit: If metal enclosures cannot be avoided, install the antenna extension kit (model 86LM) to improve signal range.
4. Mount the Remote Antenna High: Position the remote antenna as high and far from metal as possible for the best performance.

These steps help maximize the STAR250’s radio range and improve performance.
