Keypad and opener
A wireless garage keypad sends a signal to the garage door opener. The maker's manual says which openers a keypad works with.
The label
Under 47 CFR 15.19(a)(3), "All other devices shall bear the following statement in a conspicuous location on the device: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation."
Where it goes
On a device too small for the statement "in a font that is four-point or larger," with no display for it, the rule says it "shall be placed in the user manual and must also either be placed on the device packaging or on a removable label attached to the device."
Setting it up
We give no programming steps. Follow the maker's instructions. Change default settings as the maker directs.
What a keypad cannot promise
No keypad, lock, or code can guarantee that a door will stay secure or that a break-in will not happen.
This is general information, not legal or security advice.
FAQ
General information only. No keypad, lock, or code can guarantee that a door will stay secure or that a break-in will not happen. Keep codes private, change any code you have shared, and follow the maker's instructions. Before you put a keypad or lock on a door people use to leave a building, check with your local building or fire official. In an emergency, call 911.
