Refer to the instruction manual of your Hörmann receiver for detailed pairing instructions. Generally, the process involves:

5.2 Cleaning

To clean the transmitter, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the device. Keep the transmitter free from dust and dirt to ensure proper button function.
