What is the trick when working with Marantec® products?
Use this remote with Marantec products only one when there are no other remotes or keypads (no other RF products) being used with the opener. There can only be a single ‘fixed rolling code’ programmed to a Marantec device. Each remote or keypad uses that same code. If you introduce the Genie universal remote to an opener that already has remotes and keypads programmed to it, it will erase the code inside those remotes and keypads and they will no longer operate (only your Genie universal remote will work). Only use the Genie universal 2-button remote when there are no other remotes or keypads programmed to the Marantec opener.
