Before you start
- A stepladder
- The remote, with a fresh battery
- The model number from the motor unit label
Step by step
Step 1: Find the SET button on the motor unit, next to the UP and DOWN buttons and the small display.
Step 2: Press and release SET. Don't hold it. The display shows P.
Holding SET for about 5 seconds changes the display to 1 and starts travel-limit setup, and holding it for 15 seconds starts erasing every remote. A quick press is all you need.
Step 3: Within 30 seconds, press the button on the remote you want to use.
Step 4: The display turns off and the opener beeps once. The remote is learned.
Step 5: Repeat for each button and each remote. Every button is programmed on its own.
Step 6: Test the remote with the door in sight.
Still not working? Here is what it usually is.
- The remote is built for a different opener. Check the remote's model number against the opener's manual.
- The battery is weak, especially in a cold car.
- The wall console is in remote lock mode. The opener light flashes 3 times when a locked-out remote is pressed. Turn the lock off at the wall console.
- The receiver on the opener's board has failed.
