Diagram E Diagram F If the connector is placed on the top and middle posts, that row is set on “ + ” or “ON”. If the connector is placed on the middle and bottom posts, that row is set on “ - ” or “OFF”. If the connector is ‘-’ OR ‘OFF’ OR ‘OPEN’ removed completely, (not ‘0’ = BLANK placed on any posts), it is set ‘+’ OR ‘ON’ to “ 0 ” or the neutral position. (see diagram G for examples of how to set a row to the three different positions). When removing a connector to set a row to the neutral position, save the connector in case you change the code at a later date. Diagram G 7. There are 2 ways to program the model 88p so that it will communicate with your garage door opener. Open your existing transmitter, (the unit you currently use to open your garage), or look at the back of your garage door opener. If you see a row of small switches go to point #8 in this manual. If there are no switches, go to point #10. 8. To move the connectors, slide the wire hook (included), into the side of a connector and lift. (see diagram H1) When repositioning connectors, place a connector on the two chosen posts, then push down on the connector with your finger. (see diagram H2) PRESS 1 1 2 2 REMOVE CONNECTOR REPOSITION CONNECTOR Diagram H1 Diagram H2 Set the connectors numbered 1 through 12 to match the switches of your existing transmitter or receiver. If your garage door opener is manufactured by (Stanley ®, Genie® , MultiCode® , Linear® , Moore-OMatic® , Skylink ® ) these switches may only have two positions, ( “ + , ON, CLOSED” and “ - , OFF, OPEN”).

For more information, call (800) 304-1187 SET CODE CONNECTOR “ +, ON, CLOSE ” and set to “ - ” if your existing switches are either “ -, OFF, OPEN”. Do not use the center position “ 0 “. If your existing transmitter has fewer than 12 switches, see point #9 in this manual. Enter the 4 digit PIN number (currenty set at 0000), then press the ‘SEND’ key. (see point #12 for additional keypad information). If the garage door does not open, reverse all of the connectors on the model 88p. The “ + ” will be changed to the “ -” position and the “ - “ position will be changed to the “ + “ position. (see diagram J) Examples of how to set Model 88p Original Position Existing Pulsar/Allister/Allstar Transmitter Model 88p Reversed Position Diagram I Diagram J If your garage door opener is manufactured by (Chamberlain® ,Sears® , Lift-Master® , Wayne Dalton® , Pulsar or Master Mechanic® ) the switches will have 3 positions, (“ + , 0, - ”). Set the connectors on the model 88p to match their corresponding positions. If your opener is a Sears , Chamberlain® or Lift-Master® and the existing transmitter has three buttons, (see diagram K), the first connector ® in the model #88p may need to be changed to another position. If your Chamberlain ® ,Sears® , Lift-Master® has 9 DIP switches, match them to the first 9 connectors on the model 88p and remove the connectors on the last 3 rows. If there is only 8 DIP switches, match them to the 2-9 position on the model 88p and remove the connectors on the last 3 rows. Now you may have to change the positioning of the #1 connector on the model 88p. If the large button of Diagram K is used to open the garage door, set the #1 connector to“ ” position. If the middle button is used, set the #1 connector to the “ 0 ” or “blank” position. If the smaller button on the left is used, set the #1 connector to the “ + ” position. Diagram K 9. If your existing transmitter or receiver has fewer than 12 switches, match only the first corresponding connectors. Leave the remaining posts blank, (remove the connectors). 10.Once you have set the code connectors, enter the 4 digit PIN number (currently set at 0000), then press the ‘SEND’ key. If you have entered the sequence correctly, the keypad will emit 3 beeps. If you do not hear the 3 beeps, see point #12 for a solution.) SET CODE CONNECTOR Garage Door Opener (GDO) Diagram L If your garage door opener is a Stanley ® or Multi-Code®, the unused DIP switches may need to be set to either the “ + ” or the “ - ” position. If the transmitter is still not working, try reversing the set Dip switches,(example, if the #1 DIP switch is set to “ + ”, change it to “ - ” and continue reversing the remaining DIP switches. Also try the unused DIP switches in the “ + ”, “ 0 ” or “ - ” positions.) If your Stanley / Multi-Code receiver has fewer than 10 switches and you have a 2 button transmitter then the button that operates the receiver will determine whether you use Channel 1 or Channel 2. If the number 10 Dip switch of your existing transmitter is set in the OPEN or OFF position, you have Channel 1, set the number 10 DIP switch in the model #88p to “ - ” position. If the number 10 Dip switch of your transmitter is set in the CLOSED or ON position, you have Channel 2, set the number 10 DIP switch in the model #88p to “ + ” position. ® ® Examples of how to set Model 88p Existing Transmitter Model 88p 88p to the “+” position. If the Dip switches 5-9 on the Pulsar ® /Allister ® /Allstar ® are set to the “ON” position, set the switches in the model 88p to the “-” position.

If, within one year from date of purchase, this product should become defective (except battery), due to faulty workmanship or materials, it will be repaired or replaced, without charge. Proof of purchase is required. KEY PAD OPERATION INSTALLATION 12. If the model 88p does not emit 3 beeps when you enter the PIN, ‘SEND’. You may have entered an incorrect PIN number or taken too long entering the PIN number, (see point #14 for additional keypad information). WARNING DO NOT let children use the garage door transmitter without adult supervision. Children can injure themselves or others by the garage door. ® If your Pulsar /Allister /Allstar #ADX9921 has 2 position Dip switches, refer to the chart below. If any ® ® ® of the Dip switches in your Pulsar /Allister /Allstar transmitter/receiver are set to the “OFF” position, set the switches in the model 88p to the “0” position. If Dip switches 1-4 on the Pulsar ® /Allister ® /Allstar ® are set to the “ON” position, set the switches in the model ‘Learn’ Button SET CODE CONNECTOR If your Pulsar ® /Allister ® / Allstar ® transmitter or receiver has fewer than 9 switches and the existing transmitter has 2 buttons (see diagram O), then the button that operates the receiver will determine how to set the number 9 DIP switch of the model 88p. If the left button is used to operate the receiver, set the #9 DIP switch to ‘+’ position; if the right button is used, set the #9 DIP switch to ‘0’ position. ® 8.
