Step 2: Copy Code from Original Transmitter
- Place the new duplicator remote control as close as possible to your original transmitter.
- Press and hold the desired button on your original transmitter.
- While still holding the button on the original transmitter, press and hold the corresponding button on the new duplicator remote control.
- Continue holding both buttons until the LED on the new duplicator remote control flashes rapidly.
- Release both buttons. The code copy for that button is complete. Repeat for other buttons if necessary.

5. Maintenance
The remote control is powered by a CR2032 or 12V 23A battery. If the remote's range decreases or the LED indicator becomes dim, it may be time to replace the battery.
Battery Replacement:
To replace the battery, carefully open the remote control casing. The battery compartment is typically located on the back. Insert the new battery, ensuring correct polarity, then close the casing securely.

6. Troubleshooting and Compatibility
If you encounter issues with programming or operation, please review the following common problems and solutions:
- Incorrect LED behavior during programming: Ensure you are pressing the buttons correctly and holding them for the required duration. The LED should flash to indicate successful steps.
- Remote not working after programming: Verify that your original Hormann remote control has BLUE buttons. This remote is specifically designed for Hormann 868MHz remotes with blue buttons.
- Incompatibility with certain models: This remote is NOT compatible with Hormann BS BiSecur versions. Always check your original remote's model code and frequency. The frequency must be exactly 868MHz.

8. User Tips
- Verify Compatibility First: Before attempting to program, double-check that your original Hormann remote has blue buttons and is not a 'BS BiSecur' version. This is the most common reason for programming failure.
- Optimal Cloning Distance: During the code copying process, ensure the new remote is placed as close as possible to the original remote for best signal reception.
- Clear Code Before Copying: Always perform the 'Clear History Code' step before attempting to copy a new code to prevent interference from previous programming.
