programmed individually from each other. You may use any combination of programming methods
available for your opener/specification combination to achieve your desired button setup.

settings, press and hold down button #3 while pressing button #4 - four times. The blue LED will give
a long blink and then go out. For the ‘LEARN METHOD’ and the ‘CLONING METHOD’, this will clear any
existing programming and return the remote to its original factory default settings. For the pre-set
buttons that have been learned to an opener already, you must clear these in the same manner you
would clear original transmitters from the head. Please consult your opener manual for instruction.
You may also (for all methods) simply program over of what has previously been done.
