5. Opener Has DIP Switches:
- Use a pen to set the DIP switches to match the code of your existing transmitter or receiver. If your opener is a Chamberlain ® , Lift-Master ® ,
Sears ® , Wayne Dalton ® or Master Mechanic ® and does not have any
DIP switches, go to point #6.
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 ® , Skylink ® ) have only two positions, set the switches of the model 88 to " + " for ON, and " - " for OFF or OPEN. (Do not use " 0 " center position.) 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 88 to match their corresponding positions.

6. If your existing transmitter has fewer DIP switches than this transmitter, match only the first corresponding DIP switches.
Leave the remaining DIP switches at
“ 0 ”, or the center position. 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.) 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 #88 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
#88 to “ + ” position.
If your Sears ® , Chamberlain ® or Lift-Master ® transmitter has three buttons (two small, one large) then the button that operates the receiver will determine how to set the number 1 DIP switch of the Skylink transmitter.
If the large button is used to operate the unit, set the #1 DIP switch to “ - ” position; if the middle button is used set the #1
DIP switch to the center

position; if the button at the end is used, set the #1 DIP switch to " + " position. Set the other DIP switches (DIP switch #2 onward) to match the setting of your existing transmitter.
Note - ‘LEARN CODE’ Some transmitters/receivers do not have DIP switches, this means they can “learn” new code settings. Just set the DIP switches on our transmitter to any code combination. Press the learn button, (located on the back of the garage door receiver located in the ceiling of the garage), for 2 seconds then release, so that the light beside the learn button goes on. While the light is on, enter the 4 digit pin number, (currently set at 0000), then press the # key. If the light beside the learn button flashes, the operator has now learned and will recognize the keypads code.
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 88 to the “0” position. If Dip set to the “ON” position, set the switches in the model

If your Skylink Universal Remote Control does not activate your Garage Door Opener (GDO), the reason may be that your GDO age or manufacturer is not listed on the compatibility chart.
The solution is the Skylink UR-100 Universal Receiver, or the 838 “The Code Scrambler”, (convert any
GDO to a Total Security System !) For more information, call (800) 304-1187
7. If your existing opener does not have any switches, then it can
“learn” the keypads code. First open the battery compartment, remove the battery isolator (the plastic strip between the two batteries), replace the battery cover. Press the learn button on the garage door opener (unit with motor located in the ceiling of the garage) for approximately two seconds, so that the light beside the learn button goes on. While the light is on, enter the
4 digit pin number, (currently set at 0000), then press the ‘SEND’ key. If the light beside the learn button flashes, the operator has now learned and will recognize the keypads code.
