Children operating or playing with a garage door
opener can injure themselves or others. The garage
door could close and cause serious injury or death.
Do not allow children to operate the wall push
buttons or remote controls.
A moving garage door could injure or kill someone
under it. Activate the opener only when you can see
the door clearly, it is free of obstructions, and is
properly adjusted.

The 974RGD remote control can activate four separate
Safety Signal garage door openers, gate openers,
entryways and/or light controls. (Instructions for
programming light products are included with those
accessories.)
All four push buttons work with Safety Signal receivers
having a yellow indicator light. The rolling code between
these channels and the receiver changes with each use,
randomly accessing over 100 billion new codes.
The 4th push button may be used with a non-Safety Signal
receiver. While it cannot program that receiver, its code can
be matched to other CGI manufactured fixed code or billion
code remotes. In this case, the code between this channel
and the receiver remains constant until reprogrammed.
Instructions are described and illustrated below.
WHEN USED WITH
GARAGE DOOR OPENERS
To program the opener to accept the remote control
code:
Select a remote control push button. The first button is
recommended for use with a garage door opener.
1. Press and hold the selected push button. See Figure 1.
2. Press and release the “Smart” (learn) button on the
opener panel. See Figure 2. The indicator light on the
panel will begin to blink and the opener lights will flash
once.
3. Release the remote push button.
Now the opener will operate when that push button is
pressed.
Adding a remote can also be done from the door control, as
follows:
1. With the door closed, press and hold the selected push
button.
2. Press and hold the Light button on the door control.
3. Press and hold the door control push bar.
4. After the opener lights flash, release all buttons.
Test by pressing the remote push button.
To erase all remote control codes from the receiver:
Press and hold the “Smart” button on the opener panel until
the indicator light turns off (about 6 seconds). All transmitter
codes inside the receiver are now erased. Then follow the
steps above to re-program each remote control.
WHEN SEVERAL REMOTES OPERATE ONE DEVICE
To match the 974RGD to another CGI manufactured
remote’s code (Remote Control X):
1. With the 974RGD bottom side up, press and hold both
1st and 4th push buttons until the yellow indicator light
begins to blink. It will blink for 30 seconds; during this
time it is in “learn” mode.
2. While it is in learn mode, hold both transmitters back to
back with the FCC labels touching, then
3. Press and hold the Remote Control X push button as you
slowly slide the remotes across each other until the
974RGD indicator light blinks very rapidly, indicating it
has learned the code. See Figure 3. (If Remote Control X
is a 974 or 972LM, you must press and hold its right
hand button.)
Now the device will operate when the 4th push button is
pressed.
This code will remain inside the remote control until
replaced with a new code by repeating the above steps.
