STEP 1: SEARCH FOR SPECS AND LEARN BUTTON

2. Locate the LEARN/PROG button on your device; the shape, color or name of this button may vary depending on the brand. Be sure to check under the light covers on garage door openers. On commercial or gate openers, this button may be located on the opener's circuit board. In some cases, this button may also be located on or near an external receiver mounted on or near the product. If necessary, consult the device manual.

EXAMPLES:

• Key in UP position = press button 1
• Key in DOWN position = press button 4

STEP 1: Each shaded box below represents a DIP switch position.In these spaces, write the number 1, 2, or 4 that corresponds to the UP, MIDDLE, or DOWN switch position you see on the remote, opening head, or receiver.

Transform the code:

• Button in UP position = write a "1"
• Enter the MIDDLE position = write a "2"
• Key in DOWN position = type a "4".

Each box must contain 1, 2, or 4. Each box must match the position of the switch on the opener's or remote catcher's head. If you have less than 12 counters, just list the ones you have.
