Programming tips
If you are having difficulty programming
the integrated remote control, here are
some helpful tips:
ț Check the frequency of hand-held
remote control 5 (typically located on
the reverse side of the remote). The in-
tegrated remote control is compatible
with radio-frequency devices operating
between 280-390 MHz.
ț Put a new battery in hand-held remote
control 5. This will increase the likeli-
hood of the hand-held remote control
sending a faster and more accurate sig-
nal to the integrated remote control.
ț While performing step 3, hold
hand-held remote control 5 at differ-
ent lengths and angles from the signal
transmitter button (2, 3 or 4) you
are programming. Attempt varying
angles at the distance of 2 to 5 in
(5 to 12 cm) away or the same angle at
varying distances.
ț If another hand-held remote control is
available for the same device, try the
programming steps again using that
other hand-held remote control. Make
sure new batteries are in the hand-held
remote control before beginning the
procedure.
ț Straighten the antenna wire from the
garage door opener assembly. This
may help improve transmitting and/or
receiving signals.
