Controls in detail Useful features Programming tips If you are having difficulty programming the integrated remote control, here are some helpful tips: Check the frequency of the hand-held remote control 5 (typically located on the reverse side of the remote). The integrated remote control is compatible with radio-frequency devices operating between 280-390 MHz. Put a new battery in hand-held remote control 5. This will increase the likelihood of the hand-held remote control sending a faster and more accurate signal to the integrated remote control. While performing step 3, hold hand-held remote control 5 at different lengths and angles from the signal transmitter button (2, 3 or 4) you are programming. Attempt varying angles at the distance of 2 to 5 in (5 to 12 cm) away or the same angle at varying distances. If another hand-held remote control is available for the same device, try the programming steps again using that other hand-held remote control. Make sure new batteries are in the hand-held remote control before beginning the procedure. Straighten the antenna wire from the garage door opener assembly. This may help improve transmitting and/or receiving signals. i USA only: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
