Instruments and Controls

To program up to three devices:

1. To verify that the garage door

opener is a Fixed Code unit,
remove the battery cover on the
hand held transmitter supplied
by the manufacturer of the
garage door opener motor.
If there is a row of dip switches
similar to the graphic above, the
garage door opener is a Fixed
Code unit. If you do not see a
row of dip switches, return to the
previous section for
Programming Universal Home
Remote

Rolling Code.

Your hand-held transmitter can
have between 8 to 12 dip
switches depending on the
brand of transmitter.

The garage door opener receiver
(motor head unit) could also
have a row of dip switches that
can be used when programming
the Universal Home Remote.
If the total number of switches
on the motor head and
hand-held transmitter is different,
or if the dip switch settings are
different, use the dip switch
settings on the motor head unit
to program the Universal Home
Remote. The motor head dip
switch settings can also be used
when the original hand held
transmitter is not available.

Example of Eight Dip Switches

with Two Positions

Example of Eight Dip Switches

with Three Positions

The panel of switches might not
appear exactly as they do in the
examples above, but they
should be similar.

The switch positions on the
hand-held transmitter could be
labeled, as follows:

.

A switch in the up position
could be labeled as

Up,

+,

or

On.

.

A switch in the down
position could be labeled as

Down,

” “

,

or

Off.

.

A switch in the middle
position could be labeled as

Middle,

” “

0,

or

Neutral.
