LEARNING TRANSMITTER TO RECEIVER

• 

• 

Each transmitter uses a unique security code.  It will be necessary to press the LEARN button on the receiver to accept the trans-

mitter security code upon initial use, if batteries are replaced, or if a replacement transmitter is purchased from your dealer or the 

factory.  In order for the receiver to accept the transmitter security code, be sure the slide button on the receiver is in the REMOTE 

position; the receiver will not LEARN if the slide switch is in the ON or OFF position.  The LEARN button in located on the front face 

of the receiver; inside the small hole labeled LEARN.  Using a small screwdriver or end of a paperclip gently press and release 

the black LEARN button inside the hole.  When you release the LEARN button the receiver will emit an audible “beep”.  After the 

receiver emits the beep press ANY transmitter button and release.  The receiver will emit several beeps indicating that the transmit-

ter’s code has been accepted into the receiver.
