3. Programming the Remote
The Xhorse XKGHG3EN remote supports both wired and wireless programming. This process typically requires a compatible key programming device (e.g., Xhorse VVDI Mini Key Tool, VVDI Key Tool Max, etc.) and specific software.
General Programming Steps (refer to your key programming device's manual for specifics):
- Power on your Xhorse key programming device.
- Select the appropriate remote generation or type (e.g., "Garage Remote," "Masker Style Remote").
- Choose between "Wired Programming" or "Wireless Programming" based on your device's capabilities and preference.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to generate or copy the remote data. This may involve placing the XKGHG3EN remote in the device's coil area for wireless programming or connecting it via a cable for wired programming.
- Once programmed, test the remote's functionality with your garage door opener or gate system.
For detailed instructions on programming specific vehicle or garage door systems, consult the user manual of your Xhorse key programming device and the target system.
Operating Instructions
The Xhorse XKGHG3EN remote features four distinct buttons for controlling your garage door or gate system. The specific function of each button is determined during the programming process.
General Operation:
- Button Press: Press and hold the desired button for approximately 1-2 seconds to activate its programmed function (e.g., open, close, stop, lock).
- Range: Ensure you are within the effective operating range of your garage door opener or gate system. Obstructions and environmental factors can affect range.
- Indicator Light: The remote may feature a small LED indicator that illuminates when a button is pressed, confirming signal transmission.
Always ensure a clear line of sight to the garage door or gate when operating the remote to prevent accidents.
Maintenance
- Battery Replacement: Replace the CR2032 battery when the remote's range decreases significantly or the indicator light fails to illuminate. Refer to the "Battery Installation" section for instructions.
- Cleaning: Wipe the remote with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store the remote in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Protection: While the remote has enhanced anti-static protection, avoid exposing it to environments with high static electricity. Do not drop the remote or subject it to strong impacts.
