How do you program a remote garage opener?

[Christine Fellows]

Hello everyone,

I bought another remote opener, and I matched the dip switch settings against the ones on the garage opener. And it works fine.

I was under the impression that my existing remote would "adjust" itself to the new setting, but that's not the case. And it doesn't work now. It has no dip switches inside. How do I reprogram it? I lost my paperwork.

Thanks.

Usually you have to push a button on the opener or the wired switch to turn it into learn mode. Go to

and search for your opener's brand on the internet. Hopefully the instructions will be on the manufacturer's site.

Probably is a 'smart' remote. Hold down the button on the x-mitter and press the 'learn' button on the receiver.

And it would help greatly if we didn't have to read your mind as to what equipment you have....
