Press the Door Button on the Motor Unit

: Locate the door button on the motor unit of the garage door opener. Press the door button and release it immediately. The LED indicator light on the motor unit should start blinking.

Press the Remote Button

: Once the motor unit's LED light is blinking, press the remote button you want to program. Hold it down for a few seconds until the LED indicator light on the remote stops blinking and stays lit.

Repeat for Additional Remotes

: If you have multiple remotes to program, repeat steps 3-5 for each remote. Each remote must be programmed individually.

Test the Remote

: After programming the remote, plug the garage door opener back into the power source. Press the programmed remote button to test if it operates the door correctly. The door should open or close as desired.

Exit Programming Mode

Additional Tips:

- If you encounter any issues while programming, check the batteries in the remote. Weak batteries can interfere with the programming process. - If the remote still doesn't work after programming, try resetting both the remote and the garage door opener. Consult the manufacturer's manual for specific instructions. - For certain Chamberlain models, you may need to use a code instead of the Learn button. Refer to the user manual for specific instructions and the code for your model. - Keep the remote away from water and extreme temperatures to ensure its longevity.
