1. INTRODUCTION

Motorcycle Garage Door
Remote Control

Model MT-18

2. INSTALLATION

In this package, you will find a transmitter with 12V alkaline battery and a
mounting bracket, a garage door receiver, a red / black wire.

The following instructions will show you how to install the receiver. After
installing, the transmitter (already programmed to the receiver) can be
used to operate your garage door opener.

You need to locate 2 things inside your garage to install the receiver:
1) the wall-mounted door control;
2) an electrical outlet, select an electrical outlet different from the one

already connected to the power cord of the garage door opener to
reduce the chance of interference. The further distance between
the receiver and the garage door opener, the less interference
between 2 devices.

Note: The length of the red/black wire is 20ft, so the receiver must be
plugged into an electrical outlet that is within 20ft of the wall mounted
door control. If there is no electrical outlet within 20ft of the wall mounted
door control, an extension cord can be used for temporary installation.

1

Remove the wall-mounted door control from the wall by removing
the screws. Connect the stripped ends of the Red/Black wire to the
2 terminals (2 screws) on the back of the wall mounted door
control. (Polarity does not matter.)

Unplug the power cord of your garage door opener before
installation to ensure power is not connected.

3. TROUBLE SHOOTING

Q: Door opener does not react after pressing the button on the transmitter ?

A: - Ensure when the button on the transmitter is pressed, the red light on the

bracket comes on. Otherwise, check if the battery is inserted properly.

- If the red light on the receiver flashes when you press the button on the

transmitter, but the door opener does not respond, please ensure the
red/black wire is successfully connected from the receiver to the wall
mounted door control.

- Ensure the wires that are previously connected to the wall mounted door

control are not loose.

- Ensure the transmitter has been programmed to the receiver. Refer

to section 4 for how to program a transmitter to the receiver.

The activation switch and its bracket can be installed on the handle-
bar of your motorcycle. Remove the screw from the mounting bracket
and place the cushion (included) between the mounting bracket and
the handlebar. Adjust the tightness of the mounting bracket so it is
securely fastened on the handlebar, then fasten the screw on the
mounting bracket. You may now attach the transmitter unit to your
motorcycle by hook and loop (included). It is recommended to place
the transmitter unit at where it will not be exposed to water.

Activating the switch on the mounting bracket will cause the trans-
mitter to transmit a signal to the receiver.
