How to Program Genie Remote for Garage Door

Genie remotes are a convenient way to open and close your garage door without having to get out of your car. They are easy to program and can be used with most Genie garage door openers. Here are the steps on how to program a Genie remote for your garage door:

Step 1: Gather Your Materials

You will need the following items to program your Genie remote:

Step 2: Locate the Learn Button

The Learn button is located on the back of the garage door opener motor unit. It is usually a small, black button with the word "Learn" printed next to it. If you cannot find the Learn button, consult your garage door opener manual.

Step 3: Press and Hold the Learn Button

Once you have located the Learn button, press and hold it down for 5 seconds. The LED light next to the button will begin to flash.

Step 4: Press the Remote Button

While the LED light is flashing, press and hold the button on the Genie remote that you want to program. Hold the button down until the LED light on the garage door opener stops flashing and remains lit.

Step 5: Test the Remote

Once the LED light on the garage door opener stops flashing, release the button on the remote. The remote is now programmed and you can test it by pressing the button. The garage door should open or close.

If you have additional Genie remotes that you want to program, repeat steps 3-5 for each remote.
