2a.The Model G5K contains 2 brand jumpers and 12 DIP switches (see
diagram B). The brand jumpers are located just above the DIP switches
with markings “A” and “B”. There are 2 connectors, one is placed on
the “A” column, the other one is placed on the “B” column. For each
column, there is a connector. If the connector
is placed on the top and middle post of that
column, that column is set on “+”. If the con-
nector is placed on the middle and bottom posts,
that column is set on “-“. If the connector is
removed completely, that column is set on “0”
(see diagram B). In order for the Model G5K to
work with your existing garage door opener
(motor), you need to set the brand jumpers
based on the brand of your existing garage
door opener. Please set these 2 brand jumpers
“A” and “B” based on the brand jumpers setting
on chart 2. Please identify the group number on
chart 2 in order to determine which is the next
step to proceed.

3. LEARN CODE
Note:
Proceed to this step only if the brand of your garage door opener
belongs to either group 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 on chart 2. Otherwise, proceed
to Step 4 - Set DIP switches.
3a. If your existing garage door opener belongs to any brand from group 1, 2,
3, 4 or 5, then you should find a “learn” button from the garage door
opener (the unit with the motor located on the ceiling of your garage,
see diagram C). Press this learn button for approximately 2 seconds.
The LED light beside the learn button will go on and then enter the
current 4-digit PIN, on the keypad of the Model G5K, then press [#] key.
If you have just purchased the Model G5K, the factory default 4-digit PIN
is 0000. So please enter [0], [0], [0], [0], [#]. This will activate the
Model G5K and radio signal will be sent to your existing garage door
opener. If the garage door opener learns the code, the LED light on
the garage door opener will flash then go off. The Model G5K is now
programmed to your existing garage
door opener and will operate your
garage door. Programming is now
completed and please refer to
“Keypad Operation” for changing
your personal PIN and other operations.
4a. If the brand of your garage door opener
belongs to groups 6 to 0, that means you
need to program the correct DIP switch
setting in order for the Model G5K to work
with your existing garage door opener.
There are 12 DIP switches numbered
from 1 to 12. (see diagram D)
4b. Use a pen to set the DIP switches to match
the code of your existing transmitter or receiver.

Each DIP switch of this keypad has 3 positions ( " + ", " 0 ", " - " ). If the
switches of your existing receiver (Stanley
®
, Genie
®
, Multi-Code
®
,
Linear
®
, Moore-O-Matic
®
, Martec
®
) have only two positions, set the
switches of the model G5K to " + " for ON or CLOSE, and " - " for OFF or
OPEN (Do not use " 0 " center position.) (see diagram E). If the switches
of your existing transmitter (Chamberlain
®
, Sears
®
, Lift-Master
®
, Wayne
Dalton
®
, Pulsar
®
or Master Mechanic
®
) have 3 positions, set the DIP
switches of the model G5K to match their corresponding positions.
