Charging Up Wall Console GC-433R
There is a power storage built-in to the GC-433R, this power storage
must be charged fully before it can operate. This charging cycle will
start automatically when the garage door opener is powered up.
1. After powering up the garage door opener, the GC-433R wall
console will be charged.
2. During charging, the red LED will be on steadily.
3. The GC-433R is fully charged when the LED starts flashing with a 2
beep sound. The actual charging time depends on the brand of
garage door opener. Typical charging time ranges from 15 seconds
to 2 minutes.
4. Once charging is completed, your garage door closer is ready to be
operated.
Note: If you have a Genie ® Deluxe Wall Console, an external
adapter is required. Follow instructions below “To connect
an external adapter”.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
If you do not see the LED flashing and hear 2 beeps after 3 minutes,
ensure the wire connections are secured. If so, it could mean that
your garage door opener is too old and you may need to add an
external adapter to supply power to the GC-433R. Please consult with
Skylink’s customer service.
To connect an external adapter:
1. Plug in one end of the adapter to an AC outlet.
2. Plug in the other end of the plug to the GC-433R
as shown.
3. GC-433R will be charged and when it is fully
charged, the LED will flash and you will hear a
2 beep sound.

3. OPERATION
The garage door closer monitors the door position in order to determine
when the door needs to be closed. The Garage Door Sensor will send
wireless signal to the wall console to report the door’s position. User
can set the wall console so it will close the door after it has been opened
for a predetermined period of time.
User has the option to program how long the door
should be closed after it has been open. This is
called “Door Closer Delay Timer”. To change the
setting of this timer, there is a slide switch on the
side of the wall console.
The highest position represents 2 minutes;
2
nd position from the top represents 5 minutes;
3 rd position from the top represents 10 minutes;
The lowest position represents 20 minutes;
Follow the procedure below to test the function of
the garage door closer.
1) The garage door should be in fully closed position.
2) Press the open / close button (push button) on
the wall console, the garage door will open.
3) Once the door is opened, the wall console will
beep and the “Timer / Learn” LED will flash
indicating the door is open, and it will close the
door after the preset door close delay time.
4) The beeping rate will increase as the timer is
running out, meaning the door is about to close.
5) When the timer expires, the garage door will
be closed automatically.
Cancel Door Closer Delay Timer (when the timer is running)
The door closer delay timer can be cancelled temporarily. If you want the
garage door to stay open for a longer period of time, such as when you
are working in the garage or kids are playing outside, the auto closer
feature can be cancelled temporarily.
To cancel the door closer delay timer when it is running:
1) Press the push button once when the timer is running (i.e. door is
opened).
2) The red timer LED will stop flashing and beeping will stop indicating
the timer is cancelled for that sequence.
3) The door will remain open and will not be closed automatically, until the
next door opening sequence, the timer will start again.
Deactivate Door Closer Delay Timer

deactivated, opening the garage door will not activate the timer, therefore,
