GENIE Universal 4-Button Alternative Programming Instructions

General Notes

This document contains alternate instructions for:

• Fixed Code/Dip Switch programming in remotes with software REVs v1.1.4 and higher
  • Another way to tell if you have software REV v1.1.4 or higher – Press and hold down button #1. While still holding down button #1, press button #4 on the remote four times, then release both buttons. If the white LED flashes then your software is v1.1.4 or higher.
• The Quick Start Method of programming for any software REV
• TEACH & PAIR programming method in software REVs v1.1.8 and lower. The software REV of your remote can be found on etched on the back
  • Another way to tell if you have software REV v1.1.8 or lower – if you hold press and hold down button #1 – while still holding down button #1, press button #2 on the remote four times, then release both buttons. If the white LED flashes slowly, then your software is v1.1.8 or lower.

DIP SWITCH / FIXED CODE PROGRAMMING

Available in remotes with software REVs v1.1.4 and higher

If the opener has a group of switches with 3 positions per switch (TRINARY):

• Switch in the UP (+) position = press button 1
• Switch in the MIDDLE (0) position = press button 2
• Switch in the DOWN (-) position = press button 4

In this example, the code would be:

If the opener has a group of switches with 2 positions per switch (BINARY):

• Switch in the UP (+) position = press button 1
• Switch in the DOWN (-) position = press button 4

In this example, the code would be:

Step 1: Record Switch Positions

• Each shaded box below represents a switch position. In these boxes, write in the number 1, 2 or 4 as it corresponds to the +, 0, or – switch position shown on the remote, opener or receiver. If you have less than 12 switches, only fill in what you have. You will reference this section in STEP 3.4 below.
  

Step 2: Determine Specifications

• Find your specification from CHART B below and record the number
  This box should have one number between 1-8. You will reference this in STEP 3.9 below.

QUICK START METHOD

Available in remotes with any software REV.

The Quick Start Method uses the pre-programmed manufacturer specifications on the universal remote.

Reference FIG 1 to use any of these four manufacturer pre-sets to quickly program a button

• Button 1: Genie Intellicode 1 or Overhead Door CodeDodger I
• Button 2: Chamberlain® with a PURPLE LEARN Button
• Button 3: Chamberlain® with an ORANGE/RED LEARN Button
• Button 4: Chamberlain® with a YELLOW LEARN Button*

If using Button 1, 2 or 3:

1. On the garage door opener, press the LEARN button for 2-3 seconds and then release.
2. On the universal remote, press and release the pre-set button that corresponds with your opener once every 2 seconds until the garage door opener operates. Programming is complete.

TIP: Allow the LED light on the universal transmitter to stop flashing before your next button press.

*If using Button 4 for a YELLOW LEARN Button from Chamberlain, LiftMaster or Craftsman:

1. Press and hold down the button #4 for 5 seconds - release button after white LED blinks 3 times and goes out.
   1. ONLY IF you had to manually change your Yellow Learn Button opener to a 390MHz due to interference issues - simply press and hold the button in the step above for 10 seconds - after the white LEDs blink for the second time - all LEDs will go out completely - then release the button. If you did not have to manually change the opener to 390MHz, ignore this line 1a.
2. On opener, press LEARN/PROGRAM button for 2-3 seconds and then release.
3. On remote, press button you chose ONE time. Opener will click.
4. On opener, press LEARN/PROGRAM button again for 2-3 seconds and then release.
5. On remote, press button you chose again ONE time. Opener will click again.
   The next button press should operate the opener.

TIP: Allow the LED light on the universal transmitter to stop flashing before your next button press.

TEACH & PAIR PROGRAMMING METHOD

Available in remotes with software REVs v1.1.8 and lower (also allows FAAC receiver compatibility)

TEACH & PAIR PROGRAMMING METHOD for all openers EXCEPT ID#4 Yellow Learn Button

1. On universal remote, press and hold down button #1

MARANTEC® and TEACH & PAIR PROGRAMMING

Available in remotes with software REVs v1.1.8 and lower (also allows FAAC receiver compatibility)

General Information:

Marantec openers only allow 'one' set of code inside the operator. The transmitter(s) and/or keypad that came with the opener are set to this single code.

When adding the universal transmitter to the existing Marantec family, the TEACH & PAIR programming method should be used. This programming method allows the universal transmitter to listen and then repeat back that existing transmission, becoming part of that single code family. If you use the LEARN method of programming with a Marantec opener instead of the TEACH & PAIR method, it will generate a NEW code and WILL WORK with the opener... BUT the existing transmitter/keypad family will no longer work.

How to program a Marantec opener using the TEACH & PAIR method:

1. Follow the TEACH & PAIR instructions on the previous page for all ID#s EXCEPT #4 – STOP after you have completed STEP 6. Continue at STEP 7 in the instruction below.
   On the Marantec opener:
   7. To start the system setup, press and hold the button on the control panel for approximately 5 seconds. Once the display timer counter reaches the count of 5, release the button.
   8. The blinking open door icon is displayed first on the control panel screen. Press the button to move through different options.
      
      When the transmission icon shows on the display, stop pressing the button - the transmission icon will begin blinking. This indicates the opener is ready to recognize the universal remote.
   9. Press the button you prepared on the universal remote one time – the transmission icon will stop blinking and change to a solid icon. This indicates the remote has been successfully recognized by the opener.
      
   10. Press the button to save the entry and end the system setup. Press and release the remote button one time. The opener should run. The display will look like this after setup is completed:
