Are you tired of manually opening and closing your garage door every time you come and go? With a Genie garage door opener, you can enjoy the convenience of automated operation. In this blog post, we will guide you through the process of programming your Genie garage door opener.
Step 1: Locate the Learn Button
The first step in programming your Genie garage door opener is to locate the learn button. This button is usually found on the back panel of the motor unit. It may be labeled as ‘Learn’ or ‘Program’.
Step 2: Clear Existing Codes
Before programming your Genie garage door opener, it is important to clear any existing codes. To do this, press and hold the learn button until the indicator light turns off. This will erase all previously programmed codes.
Step 3: Enter Programming Mode
Once the existing codes are cleared, you need to enter programming mode. Press the learn button again and release it. The indicator light will start blinking, indicating that the Genie garage door opener is ready to learn new codes.
Step 4: Program the Remote Control
Now it’s time to program your remote control. Press and release the button on the remote control that you wish to use to operate the garage door opener. The indicator light on the motor unit will blink, confirming that the remote control has been successfully programmed.
Step 5: Test the Remote Control
After programming the remote control, it is important to test it to ensure that it is working properly. Stand at a reasonable distance from the garage door and press the button on the remote control. The garage door should open or close smoothly without any issues.
Step 6: Program Additional Remote Controls
If you have multiple remote controls that you want to program to operate the Genie garage door opener, simply repeat steps 4 and 5 for each remote control. Each remote control can be programmed individually.
Step 7: Program the Keypad
If your Genie garage door opener has a keypad, you can also program it to operate the garage door. To do this, enter your desired PIN on the keypad and press the ‘Learn’ button on the motor unit. The indicator light will blink, indicating that the keypad has been successfully programmed.
Step 8: Test the Keypad
After programming the keypad, test it to ensure that it is working properly. Enter your PIN on the keypad and press the ‘Open/Close’ button. The garage door should respond accordingly.
That’s it! You have successfully programmed your Genie garage door opener. Now you can enjoy the convenience of automated operation.
