Changing Your Access Code

Maintenance
Battery Replacement
When the keypad's backlight dims, or if the keypad becomes unresponsive, it is likely time to replace the CR123A battery. Follow the battery installation steps outlined in the 'Setup and Installation' section.
Cleaning
Clean the surface of the keypad with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the keypad's finish or internal components.
Troubleshooting
- Keypad not responding:
Check the battery level. If the backlight is dim or non-existent, replace the CR123A battery. Ensure the keypad is within effective range of the garage door opener. If issues persist, try reprogramming the keypad to the opener. - Garage door not opening/closing:
Verify that the access code is entered correctly. Ensure the garage door opener itself is powered and functioning. Check for any physical obstructions preventing the door from moving. - Compatibility Issue:
The SOMMER 4079V000 keypad operates on a 310 MHz frequency. It is crucial to ensure that your SOMMER garage door opener is compatible with this specific frequency. Newer SOMMER garage door opener models may utilize different frequencies (e.g., 922 MHz) and will not be compatible with this 4079V000 keypad. Always confirm frequency compatibility before purchase or troubleshooting.
