System, call 1-866-572-2728
or go to www.learcar2u.com.
Most garage door openers sold
after 1996 are Rolling Code units. Programming a garage door opener
involves time-sensitive actions, so
read the entire procedure before
starting. Otherwise, the device will
time out and the procedure will have
to be repeated.To program up to three devices:
1. From inside the vehicle,
press the two outside buttons
at the same time for one to
two seconds, and immediately
release them.
2. In the garage, locate thegarage door opener receiver
(motor-head unit). Find the
“Learn” or“Smart” button.
It can usually be found where
the hanging antenna wire is
attached to the motor-head unit
and may be a colored button.
Press this button. After pressing
this button, complete the
following steps in less than
30 seconds.

device such as an additional garage
door opener, a security device,
or home automation device, repeat
Steps 1 through 5, choosing a different function button in Step 3
than what was used for the garage
door opener.

starting. Otherwise, the device will
time out and the procedure will have
to be repeated.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

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 are 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 Switcheswith Two Positions
Example of Eight Dip Switcheswith 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.”
2. Write down the 8 to 12 switch settings from left to right as
follows:
.When a switch is in the up
position, write “Left.”
.When a switch is in the
down position, write “Right.”
