How is this programmed? I have one opener used to open the garage in my apartment bldg. Does it learn?

I had to program it the same way I did the other remotes that came with my Craftsman garage door opener. I just had to get on the ladder and position myself near the remote and follow the directions on the opener which was only to hold a button till the light flashed and also push the button on the little remote. I first checked on the internet for the instructions. It was not very difficult to program at all and it works great. Hope this helped a little. Forrest

You program these by opening the rear of the door opener and push the learn button. The light will blink on the garage door and it's done. Get the model of the opener and were ever you buy the remote ask them if it works with your model of opener. They work real well you can carry them around in your pocket no remotes left in the car were they can be stolen and someone enters your home.

Yes it can learn, but you have to follow the setup instructions closely.. I either missed a step, or the step was missing from the instructions I recd with the first unit it tried. But when I ordered this one, the instructions had all the steps and this remote setup correctly on the first try. This model of operner has (3) buttons and ALL (3) can be 'taught' to open that one door or open up to (3) different doors.. Just follow the easy instructions and you should be fine.

First, you should read and follow the instructions on your owner's manual for your garage door opener. It should tell you the sequence you need to follow. In general, there is a button on the opener you press that will enter the opener into a "learning" mode that your hand held control will pickup when you press and hold the button you wish to program. When successful, the light on the opener should blink - usually a couple of times - to indicate a successful paring.

There is a small hole on the side of the remote. You have to use a paperclip or something small to push the LEARN button. Once you push that button you can follow the instructions and program the remote. Just do as the instructions say once the LEARN buttons is pushed and it works great. Hope this helps. Tim

There's programming button on the opener. The device is able to 'learn'.The directions easily guide you through the programming. It's a piece of cake.

When you press the button on the Garage Door Opener, make sure it is a quick jab. DO NOT HOLD AT ALL. If you do, you'll clear the old code. Not a problem if this is your only remote, but if you are trying to get multiple vehicles working, this can be maddening.

It is really easy just follow the instruction that comes with it. If I can do it you will be able to do it. Just make sure you have a Liftmaster garage door opener that opens your garage door.. It took me less than 4 minutes to get to work... Hope this help you..

No. It works just like any other garage door opener. The trick is programming it. That's the only tricky part but it wasn't too difficult after fiddling with it.

It can alert you when it opens, closes, or stays open too long - you control the settings. I don't know what models it works with, but my opener was old 5+ years and it works.

It only came with one but we bought another one on Amazon for a reasonable price. We also were able to program the one we had to this opener.

If your overhead opener is the type with a learn button, you most likely held the the button too long erasing all previous programming. In general, to program you only press the learn button for one second and release, then you have about 20-30 seconds to send it a new code via remote.

Yes, each door opener must be taught the code from the remote, therefore in theory you could open several doors simultaneously or use same remote at different garages. Note said door openers would need to be compatible with this remote.

Best bet would be to Google the door and remote numbers and see what numbers come up. I've replaced at least two remotes through Amazon, one keypad and all of them when I held the learn button on the opener within 5 sec they were programmed.

This unit only holds one code. I am guessing that what is tripping you up is that for about 20 seconds any key press will activate the garage door number. See vendor site for instructions and Frequently Asked Questions(FAQ) http://www.dominoengineering.com/residential.asp Reprogramming should change the code.

We moved to NC recently and the house had a Chamberlain garage door opener and the remote did not work. The previous owner did not leave any manuals. I ordered 2 remotes from amazon. It has 3 programmable buttons. We programmed each for our vehicles. works well.

If it lost it's programming I would suggest just going through the learning steps that are done initially. That is push the orange learning button on the back of the garage opener once rwhile holding the button down on the remote for 30 seconds. It should work then. Good Luck

I programed my Dodge Ram's garage door opener button to open gate but all it does is clone the signal FROM a sentry opener, a garage door opener would have to be same freq and signal type as many garage door openers are "rolling code" type which I believe wont work as they send a unique/different code each time.

You will need to verify the frequency. Be careful as newer openers use a rolling code. A lot of times they will reference the color of the "learn" button for verification. Research it on the manufacturer website

yes, it is a smart learning remote. there will be a sync button on the garage door opener motor unit. press the sync button then the button in the remote you wish to use with the door.

To install it no. To use it, yes, you will have to "sync" it with the actual opener inside your garage. This way it knows your machine and not your neighbors (for instance). The instructions were pretty straight forward.*edit* after reading the other replies. I did not know about that, if it works like that, then even better.

Yes. It was easy to program. I still like the intellicode openers by Genie better.

Depending on the model of your opener it may only accept one code switch setting so all the remotes need to be set to the same code. Id the code switches are different only the last one learned will work.

NOTE: Newer openers with wall unit using more than one button (light, opener, lock, etc.) and only two wire output use a coded signal and not NO/NC contact to work the garage door. Thus, we modified the wall unit to connect the magic closer to the NO/NC contact point to operate the garage door to open and close. Factory had also performed this modification on a wireless remote unit of some kind to get to work also. I haven't tried using it with Craftsman. Only worked with Genie opener after modifications were made. Contact the factory Magiccloser.com they are very helpful. Ron
