Installation
Before beginning, ensure you have the myQ serial number from the provided label to add your opener to your myQ account after installation.


Removing the Old Board
- Disconnect electrical and battery power.
- Remove the light lens by pulling the top side and swinging it down; squeeze the clips to remove it from the end panel.
- Disconnect wires from the quick-connect and lock terminals.
- Unplug wire harnesses from the receiver logic board (needle-nosed pliers may be required).
- Remove the two screws and release the two clips to remove the board from the end panel.
Installing the New Board
- Connect wire harnesses to the new board, ensuring tabs face the end panel.
- Insert antenna wires through the holes in the end panel.
- Snap the board into place and secure it with screws.
- Reinsert wires into the correct terminals:
- Door control wires: White wire to white terminal, white/red wire to red terminal.
- Safety sensor wires: White wires to white terminal, white/black wires to grey terminal.
- Reinstall the light lens, ensuring antenna wires hang straight down.

Testing and Safety
After any adjustments, the safety reversal system must be tested.

- Safety Reversal Test: Place a 1-1/2 inch (3.8 cm) board or a 2x4 laid flat on the floor under the garage door. Close the door using the remote. The door must reverse upon contact with the board.
- Protector System Test: Open the door and place an obstruction in the path. Attempt to close the door using the remote; the door should not move more than an inch.
