The remote and receiver may not be properly paired. To resolve this, ensure the remote and receiver are "learned" to one another:

1. Use a pen or small screwdriver to press and hold the "learn" button on the receiver until you hear three beeps.
2. Ensure the slide switch on the receiver is in the "remote" position.
3. Follow any additional steps in the manual to complete pairing.

If the issue persists, verify that the batteries are correctly installed and functional.
