● During programming, it is possible that garage doors, gates, or

other devices may operate. For this reason, make sure that peo-

ple and objects are clear of the garage door or other devices to

prevent injury or other potential harm.

● It is recommended that a new battery be placed in the remote

control transmitter for more accurate programming.

● Garage door openers manufactured after 1995 may be equipped

with rolling code protection. If this is the case, you will need a

stepladder or other sturdy, safe device to reach the “learn” or

“smart” button on the garage door opener motor.
