Anyone know how to reset the receiver? I bought this little transmitter but it won't work as my Genie GT 912 does.

I was surprised it worked so well with my 20 year old Genie Garage Opener, have not had any problems. Like the others suggested, it will only work with the 12 dip switch model. Double check the dip switch settings and make sure they are completely seated in an on or off position. I did not have to reset or power off my unit. Once the Firefly was configured, it worked just like the OEM garage opener remote. Good luck.

I don't know about that - I just made sure all the little switches were in the right place and it worked fine.

Mine worked just fine. Do not understand 'reset receiver'. This is a transmitter and it has to be reset, not the receiver. Open a working transmitter and set the dip switch keys on this just like the working transmitter. Or open the Genie on the ceiling and find its switches and set exactly the same. Will only work with 12 dip recievers. Will not work with old 9 dip receivers.

I hope this is the issue I'm having. I've already had the technician out last week to replace the main board for this problem. The remote seemed to have worked for 5 minutes, like you said, and literally as he was leaving my driveway I tried to change the source and the remote didn't work again! I was so frustrated, and thanks to you I will be geared up with this information so perhaps he can fix it this time!

I tried programing to my receiver and could not make it work. I am considering purchasing a new receiver and controller.

Not much to work on here with the question, but I'll give it a try. The first and most obvious thing I would ask is whether you had an RF remote paired with the receiver before? The reason I ask is because the receiver in that case would still be in RF mode and not paired to the new receiver. You need to get the receiver back into IR mode and then go through the setup process with the new remote. If the receiver is in IR mode, then you have a broken remote.

Our replacement was the exact transmitter we had that went bad, but it did not come with any instructions. I got on the internet youtube and found a way to program it. We tried it several times and couldn't get it programed, so took it to the people that installed it our viper. They had wanted $70.00 to replace the transmitter, that's why we ordered it on Amazon. They programed it in less than 2 minutes, no charge. Works like brand new. I was told Best Buy will program them also. Hope this helps.

Your servo is doing what it's told by the receiver. If it is doing the opposite every time, reverse your transmitter and it should be good. If intermittent, try swapping in a known good receiver.

The transmitter is in the fan itself...I had to open the fan up and reset the dial so it matched with this remote. I see from the other replies you have some options. Good luck.

I emailed orders@aetetek.net when i needed to order a new remote. They were helpful. You can ask them if there is a way to reset.

From what I can see, it should work as a replacement since they both operate using 390 and/or 315MHz frequencies. One thing to note: the GM3T-R only replaces Genie Intellicode transmitters made since 1998.

I bought my transmitter/receiver set on ebay so you may want to check there. Or check in with Creative Labs. Good luck.

I'm having the same problem. Do you know if you unplugged the unit while it was on? This happened with mine, and it is the only thing I can think of that happened to it. It still doesn't answer the question of whether replacing the remote will help, unfortunately.

I am NOT very happy with my sensor either, I had to call GTO SEVERAL times, they shipped me a new receiver(don't use the decoder now) and it STILL does not work every time. I would suggest calling GTO, they do a pretty good job helping you out. It could be a # of things...but I would bet it's your receiver.

I had the same problem with my cable remote. I can turn the receiver off but I can not turn it on w the cable remote. I have to turn it on w the receiver remote. Neither Yamaha or cable co. could offer solution.

Mine works when I'm 2 houses down the street from my own garage, so... 100 yards, give or take. You may want to check the antenna wire on your head unit if your Genie remote is working that poorly.

Could be several things. Have you powered the transmitter with a 9volt battery? That should power the transmitter. If that test fails I suggest returning both the transmitter and the receiver to Magellan for test and replacement.

There is a way to reset the unit. Check the FAQ on web site. Then set up the radio from scratch. It gets easier the more you do it.

hi! i dont' want to presume that you are new but if you are, welcome to the hobby! its addictive.I suspect I know what the problem is. The receiver (where you put your binding pin) has a series of switches where you can select 1, 2 or three. If those are misadjusted that could cause the problem you are describing. Please tell me what transmitter you are using and send me a picture of the receiver switches martinjberger@gmail.com
