these receivers. The erase procedure does not involve the transmitter.
Type B) Erase by Remote - Model LX-318, MD-318, MR-318, WE-001
Erase by Remote means there is no erase button on the receiver, so a

instructions below to erase the remote from the receiver.
1. Press the PROG button on the back of the remote.
2. Press and hold a button that is already programmed to the receiver for
at least 2 seconds when the LED is steadily on to transmit the "Erase"
code. Do not release this button until step 4.
3. Put the receiver that you want to erase the transmitter from into
programming mode. Refer to the User's Instructions of that receiver.
4. Once the receiver receives this "Erase" code, the receiver will indicate it
has erased all transmitters, and you may now release the button on the
remote.
