CHAMBERLAIN® INTERNET GATEWAY USER’S GUIDE

Featuring MyQ® Technology

This User’s Guide will help you get the most from your Chamberlain® MyQ® enabled products when using a smartphone, tablet, or computer to monitor and control your garage door opener, gate operator, light controls, or other MyQ® enabled products.

 CONNECT & CREATE

• See the “Chamberlain MyQ® Quick Start Guide” for instructions for the connection of your Chamberlain® Internet Gateway to the Internet. You MUST use a computer for this step; you cannot create an account from a mobile device. Go to www.mychamberlain.com to create an account and connect the Internet Gateway.
• You must have a valid email address to create a Chamberlain® MyQ® account. Enter your information and click submit, an email will be sent to you to confirm your valid email address. If you do not get a confi ring email, check your spam email folder or try creating the account again, being careful to spell the email address correctly.
• When the Chamberlain® Internet Gateway powers up, the GREEN LED and BLUE LED will blink four times to indicate a correct power connection and reset of the Internet Gateway. After powering up, the LEDs will indicate the status of the Chamberlain® Internet Gateway. Refer to the “tips” section for details regarding the LED indicators.
• If the GREEN LED is off after connecting the Chamberlain® Internet Gateway to your router, check the Ethernet cable connection to your router. It must be in the LAN port, (normally numbered 1 – 4). If the GREEN LED is still off, try another port on your router. If you still cannot get a solid GREEN LED, contact Chamberlain® Technical Support at technical.support@chamberlain.com or at 1-800-528-9131.

If you have additional questions or problems after reviewing this User’s Guide, please contact Chamberlain® Technical Support at: technical.support@chamberlain.com or at 1-800-528-9131.

Registration

REGISTER CHAMBERLAIN® INTERNET GATEWAY AND ADD DEVICES

Once you have successfully created your Chamberlain® MyQ® account, you must add the Chamberlain® Internet Gateway to the account. It is easy to do from a computer; this can also be done from an internet enabled smartphone or tablet. See section 3 for downloading the MyQ® app and sections 5 and 6 for using the app.

• To add the Chamberlain® Internet Gateway to your account, the GREEN LED on the Internet Gateway must be on continuously. If the GREEN LED is off, see Section 1, Connect & Create. The Chamberlain® Internet Gateway must have an internet connection for the website or phone to find it.
• In the www.mychamberlain.com website, add the Chamberlain® Internet Gateway. Click on “Manage Places” to add the Internet Gateway. If this is the fi rst Chamberlain® Internet Gateway connected to the account, the screen will already be at the step of “Register Gateway”. You will need the SERIAL NUMBER from the bottom label of the Internet Gateway. The serial number is a series of ten characters, 0 – 9 or a – f. Be sure to use the correct characters (e.g., a zero “0” instead of an “O”) and keep the character spacing correct (XXXX-XXX-XXX). If this is the second Chamberlain® Internet Gateway to be added, just click on “Manage Places>Add New Place”. For instructions on how to complete this step with the MyQ® app, see sections 5 and 6.
• Name the Chamberlain® Internet Gateway (e.g., “123 Main Street” or “Home Sweet Home”). Click “Save and Close” to complete this step.
• You can add MyQ® devices like the garage door opener, gate operator, lights, or other accessories from the “Manage Places” page, or you can download the MyQ® app and add any MyQ® device from a smartphone or tablet. To add the garage door opener or other devices, click on “Manage Places>Add New Device” and follow the steps. Once you click ADD you have 3 minutes to go to the garage door opener or device and press it’s learn button. To add a gate operator ensure that the gate is closed. Give the operator an OPEN command. Within 30 seconds, when the gate is at the open limit press and release the reset button 3 times (on primary gate). The Chamberlain® Internet Gateway will pair to the operator.
• Once a device is programmed, it will appear on the screen. You can then name the device (e.g., left garage door, table lamp, etc.).

GETTING A SMARTPHONE APP

If you have an older OS, the phone or tablet will not be able to locate the MyQ® app. You may need to upgrade the phone’s OS to be able to fi nd, download, and use the MyQ® app. Smartphone apps are available for Apple® and Android™ devices:

• Apple® iPhone®, iPad®, and iPod Touch®
  • Visit the Apple App StoreSM from your Apple device to download the MyQ® app (search for “MyQ” by The Chamberlain Group, Inc.).
• Android™ smartphones and tablets
  • Visit Google Play from your smartphone to download the MyQ® app (search for “MyQ” by The Chamberlain Group, Inc.).
• BlackBerry®, Windows, and other smartphones
  • You can access your MyQ® account to monitor and control your garage door opener, gate operator, and other MyQ® accessories on other smartphones by pointing your phone’s browser to www.mychamberlain.com/mobile.
  • Bookmark this page for later use.
  • The mobile website has the same functionality as the smartphone apps.

After the app is installed on your smartphone, you can add a new device to your account by following the instructions for your smartphone in Sections 5 – 6.

SECURITY SETTINGS

CHANGING MyQ® APP SECURITY SETTINGS

You can change the SECURITY SETTINGS of the MyQ® app to allow quicker access to your devices and account. The default security setting for the app is at the highest level: you must enter your email and password credentials every time to launch the app or to access and change your account settings. The security settings apply to each individual phone, so each phone tied to the same account must be confi gured separately. These settings do not affect the web page login. A four-Digit PASSCODE can be created in place of your email and password credentials. See “Creating a Passcode” below.

Default MyQ® App Security Settings

• Launching App – high security is initially set to ON. You must enter your email and password credentials every time the app is launched. Setting this to OFF allows the app to launch without requiring your credentials or a 4-digit passcode.
• Accessing Account – high security is initially set to ON. You must enter the email & password credentials every time you want to access your account settings. Setting this to OFF lets you access your account settings without requiring your credentials or a 4-digit passcode.
• Opening Door/Gate – high security initially set to OFF. If you turn it ON, you must enter your email and password credentials or a 4-digit passcode every time you want to use the app to open your door or gate. Setting this to OFF lets you open your door or gate without requiring your credentials or a 4-digit passcode. It is strongly recommended that if you turn OFF the security settings for launching the app, you set this function to ON and create a 4-digit passcode for opening the door or gate. This prevents anyone from using your phone to get into your garage.

Creating a Passcode

You can create a 4-digit PASSCODE within the MyQ® app that automatically replaces your email and password credentials. You may want to use the same code as your outside keypad for ease of use.

• The passcode is four characters (numbers or letters, depending on your smartphone).
• When you create your 4-digit passcode, the app will ask for the passcode twice.
• If you use the “Account > Logout” function on the smartphone, your passcode will be automatically deleted; restarting the app will require the creation of a new passcode.
• See the section on your smartphone (Apple or Android) for specifi c instructions on how to create a 4-digit passcode.
