User questions & answers

Question:	I see a question for the ldo50 but will this work with linear ldo
Answer:	No this won't work on any linear opener
Question:	Does this come with two remote clickers, or do I need to purchase those separately
Answer:	This IS a radio remote like a "clicker" except that it is a keypad. One enters a programmed code to operate the garage door rather than just push a button. As with a "clicker", the device must be registered with the garage door operator. Sounds to me like you're very confused. This is NOT an operator, it is a radio frequency control just like a clicker. I urge you to obtain the assistance of someone who is knowledgeable in this area.
Question:	Can you program 2 garages
Answer:	Yes - I programmed both my doors under separate codes - works like a champ!
Question:	Programmed this easy breezy! BUT now my clicker and programmed car opener won't work.... HELP
Answer:	How old is your garage door opener? I had that same problem and found out that my older garage door opener (15+ years old) only allowed 2 clicker types units to be programed/used at a time. This means when I added the keypad clicker, it bumped off one of my remotes from working. Sounds to me like this is what is happening to you. I am sure the newer units don't have this problem
