LEARNING TRANSMITTER TO RECEIVER
This transmitter has one of 65,536 unique security codes. It may be necessary to program the remote receiver to “learn” the security
code of the transmitter upon initial use, if batteries are replaced, or if using a replacement transmitter.
NOTE: This receiver can hold up to 3 transmitter codes. This is for the times when a second hand held transmitter or a wall transmitter
is required.
Make sure the receiver’s slide switch is in the• REMOTE position.
Press and release the• LEARN button on the receiver.
When you hear the “Beep”, press and hold the• ON or OFF button for about 2 seconds on the transmitter.
You will then hear a series of rapid beeps that indicate that your new transmitter has been accepted by the receiver.•
If you press the• LEARN button on the receiver and you hear no beeps, the receiver is unable to retain any more transmitter codes
(make sure the transmitter battery is properly installed and fully charged).
To delete all of the transmitter codes on your receiver, press and hold the• LEARN button for 10 seconds. Then you will hear a
series of three long beeps, indicating that the receiver’s memory has been cleared.
