How to Program a Genie Garage Door Remote

Written by Easy Lift Door | Dec 7, 2017 9:41:58 PM

Here is our quick Genie Opener and remote tutorial. We will explain how to program a new or existing remote to your Genie garage door opener.

Please note, clearing the memory of your opener is an optional step. It will remove all remotes, cars, or keyless entries connected and require them to be reprogrammed, but may be a good safety measure if you have lost your garage door remote. Otherwise, skip the memory clearing step and just begin to program the remote.

Please give us a call or visit our contact page if you need any further assistance with your garage or garage door opener.

Steps:

Optional - Clear Memory

1) Press and hold the program button until LED turns blue and begins flashing.

2) Then hold both the up and down arrows until the purple flashing turns blue.

Program the Remote

1) Press and hold the program button on the Opener until the LED turns blue and begins flashing.

The program button is usually a square and located next to the up and down travel buttons.

2) On the remote you wish to program, press the desired button 2-3 times.

Make sure you have removed the plastic battery cover completely from a new remote, as it will stop the remote from working if it's still attached. Simply pull the tab out and away from the remote.

3) That's all! Your remote should now operate your garage door.

If the remote doesn't program to your opener, try pressing the remote button 3-4 times. Make sure you are standing about 3 feet from the opener and complete all the above steps within the 30 second timeframe, otherwise restart the process with the program button.
