Remote transmitter learning
Remote Transmitter Learning (RTL), when enabled, allows any existing learned wireless control to
be used as a learn button for the learning of additional wireless controls. Note that this feature
trades convenience for security. If it is chosen to disable RTL (the default setting at manufacture is
enabled) then the level of security is increased.
To enable or disable RTL:
Remove the green control panel cover to expose the setup controls. Identify the red learn button
and the black program button.
Hold both of these buttons down for three seconds until the courtesy lamp begins to flash. Release
both buttons.
Six flashes confirms that RTL is now enabled.
Four flashes confirms that RTL is now disabled.
To place the opener in learn mode using RTL:
Select any two or four button Merlin hand held remote control that is already learned in to the
opener. Call this the master remote.
Press the master remote north and south buttons together for 2-3 seconds.
The courtesy lamp on the opener will begin to repeat a cycle of flashing three times and pausing. If
you have several openers that operate from this master remote, then all these openers will begin to
flash their courtesy lamps.
Press the button on the master remote that would normally operate the desired opener. Now that
opener will go into learn mode, and any other openers that were flashing will return to their normal
standby state.
The courtesy lamp on the opener that is in learn mode will begin to flash slowly. If no signals are
received for 20 seconds, the opener will revert to its normal standby state.
To learn a button to operate the opener:
Press the desired remote button, wait 1 second, press the desired remote button again. The cour-
tesy lamp will stop flashing once learning is complete.
To learn one remote button to operate the opener and another to operate the lamp:
Press the learn button for 1-2 seconds, until the courtesy lamp begins to flash slowly.
Press the desired remote button for control of the opener, wait 1 second, press the desired remote
button for control of the courtesy lamp. The courtesy lamp will stop flashing once learning is com-
plete.
