Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Locate the Learn Button
Find the ‘Learn’ button on your garage door opener. This is usually found on the back or side of the motor unit and is colored red, yellow, or purple.
Step 2: Press the Learn Button
Press and release the ‘Learn’ button. The LED light will glow for 30 seconds, indicating that the garage door opener is ready to program.
Step 3: Press the Remote Button
Within the 30 seconds, press and hold the button on your remote that you want to program. Release the button when the garage door opener’s lights blink, or you hear two clicks.
Step 4: Test the Remote
Press the programmed button on your remote to test if it’s working. If your garage door responds, the programming was successful!

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What if My Garage Door Opener doesn’t have a Learn Button?
For older models that lack a ‘Learn’ button, you’ll need to use the DIP switch system. Refer to your garage door opener’s manual or our blog on how to adjust garage door cables for further guidance.
2. What Should I Do if the Remote Doesn’t Work?
If the remote doesn’t work after programming, you might need to replace the battery. If that doesn’t solve the problem, check our post on garage door opening on its own, which might offer some insights.
3. Can I Program Multiple Remotes to a Single Garage Door Opener?
Yes, multiple remotes can be programmed to one garage door opener. Follow the same process for each remote.
4. How Can I Erase All Remote Programming?
To erase all programming, press and hold the ‘Learn’ button on your garage door opener until the LED turns off. This will clear all programmed data.
