Installation
Install out of reach of small children at a minimum height of 5 feet (1.5 m) above floors, landings, steps or any other adjacent walking surface, and away from ALL moving parts of door. Secure keypad to a smooth surface. Mount the keypad out of the path of the moving garage door, but within sight of it (4″ [10 cm] clearance is needed for the cover).
Changing your 4-digit pin
Enter existing PIN, press *, enter new PIN and press *. To test and use, enter your new PIN and press the 0 key.
Battery
- NEVER allow small children near batteries.
- If battery is swallowed, immediately notify doctor. Replace the 9-Volt battery when keypad light becomes dim or does not light up. Slide cover up, remove battery cover, and replace battery. Re-programming may be necessary.
FAQs
Why won’t my keypad work?
- Did the keypad lights come on when you entered your PIN? If the keypad lights do not turn on when you press a button, it indicates that the battery needs to be replaced. Replace with a 9V battery.
- Try reprogramming the keypad to the garage door opener.
- Make sure the keypad is compatible with your garage door opener (Chamberlain 315 MHz or 390 MHz garage door openers manufactured after January 1, 1993).
- If the solutions above did not work, replace the keypad.
How do I erase my pin?To clear out the keypad, press and hold the * and the # keys together until the keypad stops flashing. Proceed to reprogram the keyless entry.
Can I program the keypad to a second garage door opener?The keypad can only activate one garage door opener.
Do I always have to use a 0 after my 4 digit PIN to activate the opener?After programming the keypad, any fifth number will act as the “enter” button to activate the opener.
Why does the door move after I only press 1 number button?After operating the garage door with the keypad, the keypad lights will flash for 10 seconds. The keypad remains active during the 10 seconds of flashing; any number will activate the door.
Where is my LEARN button located?If equipped with a LEARN button, it can either be found on the garage door opener or on an external receiver. To locate the receiver look for an antenna. Some receivers will require a cover be removed to gain access to the switch positions.
Will I have to reprogram the keypad after changing the battery?The keypad should retain its memory. If the keypad no longer operates the operator, reprogram the keypad to your system.
Where is my LEARN button on my gate?Most gate operators have a built-in radio receiver or an external receiver. The receiver on a gate opener can usually be found within the cabinet of the operator. To gain access you might require permission if used in a community gate.

I have been to the year 20,000 and come back to warn you all.. In the year 20,000 you will only need to use telekinesis to open all doors. Craftsman will have been deemed offensive by the use of the term “man” and the name will be changed to a symbol without meaning. Most of the world will have given up on the b.s. here and moved to Mars… all warranties will be voided upon your move… except your car warranty but some nonsexually unidentified being from India will call you and let you know… 100x… per day… before to have your credit card handy for that.
I purchased this product about 6 months ago because I updated my previous garage door opener (which came with a new frequency). Although I don’t know the specific frequency range or discrete frequencies that this product matches, I believe it is compatible with a wide range of brands and frequencies, and it covers many older models as well. My recommendation would be to call the Customer Service number for Chamberlain and ask specifically about the frequency you are concerned about.
I found that you can press any key to stop and reverse direction when the door is moving. Made me think that the garage door could now be opened by anyone by pressing nay key. Wish the manual was better phrased.
Raynor is an opener brand but the wireless electronic remote opener could be several other brands. I have a Raynor opener with a Linear / Multi-Code opener. It’s old – 25 yrs and uses the 10 DIP switches, but it works fine with the visor remotes and my 3 Cadillacs with built in wireless transmitters. Linear is mentioned in the instructions so it should work with a Raynor opener.
It absolutely CAN be hacked. Unfortunately! After incorrectly entering a code, you can still get the door to open once in a while. Just hit several random keys on the keypad and wait for a door to open. This has worked for me 30 times, usually when I am trying to enter a code with thick gloves on. Just punch a 4-digit code – and then keep pressing about 6 more buttons in frustration. The door will sometimes open. They should redesign this product for sure.
We have not attempted to mate these components.
The contractor that installed this for me gave me the steps written in a piece of paper. We did try changing it to another PIN and I wanted to try it before he was gone. It was a bit of more than one time trial. But it did work at the end. Hopefully these steps help you as well.1) Press * and # together until keypad stops flashing2) Enter your new four digit code and press #, press 2, press # on the keypad3) Press & release square red button on the back of the Liftmaster machine that is in the ceiling of your garage4) Enter the same 4 digit again and press 0 in the keypadAs the other customer mentioned, the timing is very important and pressing the correct buttons on the keypad is very important. Please try it more than once if it doesn’t work. It sure should work. Good luck.
