Before You Start
Make sure your new replacement remote is ready to go with battery already inserted.
Access to your garage door motor unit (usually mounted on the ceiling of your garage)
A stepladder if your motor is mounted high
⚠️ Not sure if this guide applies to you? Check your garage door motor. If it has “EVO”, “MYQ” or “Security+ 2.0” printed on it, this programming method will not work. You’ll need a different remote — contact us and we’ll point you in the right direction.
How to Program Your Remote
Step 1 — Locate the ORANGE Learn Button on your garage control unit
Open or remove the light cover on your garage door motor unit. Inside, you’ll find an ORANGE button labelled “Learn” (sometimes also labelled “Learn/Delete”). This is the button you’ll need to access during programming.
Step 2 — Press and Hold a Button on Your Remote
Choose any button on your new remote handset and press and hold it down. Keep holding it throughout Steps 3 and 4 — DO NOT release it yet.
Step 3 — Press and Release the ORANGE Learn Button
While still holding the button on your remote, press and release the ORANGE Learn button on the motor unit once.
Step 4 — Release Your Remote Button
You can now release the button on your remote. The motor’s indicator light should flash or the door may briefly activate, confirming the remote has been successfully programmed.
That’s it! Your remote should now operate your garage door. Test it from a few metres away to confirm.
How to Delete All saved Remotes
If you need to reset your garage door motor and clear all paired remotes (for example, if your garage control unit is full with saved remote, you will need to delete the old saved remotes from it before adding new one), follow these steps:
Step 1 — Press and Hold the Learn/Delete Button
Locate the ORANGE Learn/Delete button on your motor unit (same button used for programming).
Step 2 — Hold for 6 Seconds
Press and hold the button for approximately 6 seconds until the indicator light begins to flash.
Step 3 — All Remotes Are Now Deleted
Once the light flashes, all previously programmed remote handsets have been erased from the motor’s memory. You will need to re-program any remotes you wish to continue using, including your old ones.
⚠️ Warning: This action cannot be undone. Make sure you have all remotes available to re-program before proceeding.
