Model 99LM © Remote Control Security Transmitter OWNER'S MANUAL To comply with FCC rules, adjustment or modification of receiver and/or transmitter is prohibited, except for changing the code setting or replacing the battery. THERE ARE NO OTHER USER SERVICEABLE PARTS. WARNING Features: • This Remote Control Security Transmitter can be used with most 390 MHz Lift-Master 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 switchsettable 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. 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 Battery Compartment Cover adequate power, the buttons will illuminate and the opener will operate when the code followed by the ENTER key is pressed. Replace the Connector battery when button Battery illumination becomes dim.
