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 transmitter 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 transmitter’s code
has been accepted into the receiver.
To delete all of the transmitter codes on your receiver, press and hold the
LEARN button for 10 seconds. Then you will hear a series of beeps, indicating
that the receiver’s memory has been cleared.

Life expectancy of the alkaline batteries in the transmitter should be
at least 12 months. Check and replace all batteries:

- When operating range becomes reduced.
- When transmissions are not received by the remote receiver.
