Allstar Products Group MVP-SB - Manual (Page 15)

Recheck the antenna wire on the power head unit, for
proper operation the antenna wire should be
POINTED STRAIGHT DOWN toward the floor for
most situations.
Installing the Transmitter
The transmitter is supplied with a metal clip which
may be used to attach the unit to a sun visor. If the
clip is used, slide it
into the recess
provided on the
back of the
transmitter case
until the snaps on
the case fit around
the clip. If the
transmitter is
installed in a pocket in your car, follow all the
manufacturer’s instructions. Improper installation
may cause intermittent transmitter operation which
can result in unexpected door operations.
Battery Replacement
The MVP Quik-Code transmitter is provided with two
factory installed 3-volt batteries which should be replaced
after two years of normal use. The transmitter code is
retained in permanent memory and will not be lost during
battery replacement. To replace the batteries, remove the
back of the case using a quarter or your thumb. Carefully
slip the batteries out of the holders and replace with fresh
CR2032 3-volt batteries. The “+” on the batteries must
point away from the circuit board. Replace the back of the
cover and resume normal use.
Radio Operational Check -
After programming your transmitter and the MVP receiver
power head unit, check the operation of your radio controls
by moving approximately 45 feet back from the garage
door, then press the appropriate transmitter button that has
been programmed for that door. The red LED light will
illuminate on the front face of the transmitter. This is your
indication that a signal has been generated and sent out by
the transmitter (provided a valid programming sequence
has been done with the transmitter). Operation at this
distance should be reliable. However, environmental
conditions and the location of the transmitter and receiver
antenna will affect distance.
•
If the opener doesn’t activate check if the power head
unit has been programmed to accept the transmitter
signal. The red LED on the rear panel of the power
head unit will blink two times rapidly if it has accepted
a valid transmitter signal. If the LED light does not
blink reprogram the MVP power head unit to accept the
transmitter signal by following the instructions on the
bottom of the previous page “Programming the MVP
Receiver Power Head Unit” making sure you erase
any previously learned signal (see above).
•
If the distance is inadequate check the battery and
replace if necessary and/or check the position of the
power head unit antenna (see above).
•
To maximize the operating distance move the
transmitter to different locations in the car until a
satisfactory distance is achieved. Vanity mirrors on
sun visors will affect performance.
