You can mount the garage door status sensor 

on a garage door that raises overhead. Before 

mounting the sensor, make sure you test if the 

location you install the sensor is in range from 

the telephone base.
1.  Take the sensor to the desired mounting 

location on the garage door.

2.  Open the garage door and listen for an 

announcement alert at your handset and 

telephone base.

Use your handset to enter the 

Settings menu, 

and then the 

Sensor setup menu. Follow the 

steps to test the sensor’s signal strength. Move 

the base closer to the garage, or move the 

sensor closer to the base, if the sensor is out 

of range.

NOTES

Use adhesive tape to hold the sensor temporarily 

in place whilst testing, and step away from the 

sensor before testing. This allows a better radio 

transmission between the sensor and the base

Mount the sensor at a higher position of the 

garage door. Depending on surroundings and 

obstructing factors, like concrete garage walls, a 

tall metal storage cabinet, or an SUV, the sensor 

may not transmit to the base properly.

NOTE

Make sure the mounting surface is clean.  

A textured surface or any imperfections to  

a smooth surface can keep the sticker from 

making a strong bond.

TIP

You can choose to mount the sensor with sticker 

first, and then use screws later if you decide to 

mount it at that location for long term.

1.  Attach the sticker onto the rectangular area 

of the back cover, and then stick the garage 

door status sensor onto the garage door.

2.  Firmly press the sensor for 30 seconds to 

ensure full contact on the surface area.

1.  Press the latch button on the sensor to 

open the battery compartment case.

2.  Use the two holes on the back cover to mark 

the desired location of the garage door.

3.  Remove the back cover and drill two holes 

into the garage door. 

•

4.  Align the holes on the back cover of the 

sensor with the holes on the garage door. 

Stick the back cover onto the door. Tighten 

the screws into the holes to secure the back 

cover onto the garage door.

TIP

You may also choose to attach the sticker onto the 

back cover to strengthen the bond, if necessary.

5.  Push the battery compartment case back 

to the back cover on the garage door until it 

clicks into place.
