Before you start
- A stepladder
- A new PIN, 2 to 8 digits long. Avoid the house number.
Step by step
Step 1: Press and release SET on the motor unit. The display shows a P.
Step 2: On the keypad, enter the PIN and then press #. On a new keypad the PIN is 0000.
Step 3: Test it: enter the PIN and press #. The door should move.
Step 4: To change the PIN, enter the current PIN and press *. Enter the new PIN and press *. Enter the new PIN again and press *. The keypad beeps 3 times when it takes the change.
Step 5: Test the new PIN from outside. You don't need to pair the keypad again after changing the PIN.
Still not working? Here is what it usually is.
- A cold, weak battery. Keypad batteries drain fast in a Winnipeg winter.
- The PIN you're entering isn't the current one. If nobody knows it, reset the keypad to 0000 (see the question below).
- The keypad is too far from the opener or mounted behind steel siding.

Common Questions
Can one SkyLink keypad run two garage doors?
- Yes. ATOMS keypads can run up to four openers. The keypad goes into multi-door mode and each door gets its own number. The steps are in the keypad section of the opener's manual.
Nobody knows the keypad PIN. How do I reset it?
- Open the keypad and take the battery out. Hold * and # together, put the battery back in, and keep holding both for about 5 seconds until the keypad gives a long beep. The PIN is back to 0000. Pair the keypad with the opener again, then set a new PIN.
