3. Setup and Programming
The programming procedure for the Genius Echo TX4 transmitter typically involves interaction with the receiver unit of your gate or garage door opener. The specific steps can vary depending on the model of your receiver.
General Programming Guidance:
- Consult Receiver Manual: Always refer to the instruction manual of your specific gate or garage door receiver for detailed programming steps. The programming type is typically "Refer to the receiver."
- Access Receiver: You will usually need to access the receiver unit, which is often located within the motor housing of your gate or garage door system.
- Initiate Learning Mode: Most receivers have a "Learn" or "Program" button. Pressing this button for a short duration (as specified in your receiver's manual) will put the receiver into learning mode.
- Transmit Code: While the receiver is in learning mode, press the desired button on your new Genius Echo TX4 transmitter. The receiver's LED indicator will typically flash or change color to confirm successful programming.
- Test Operation: After programming, test the transmitter to ensure it operates the gate or garage door correctly.
Important Note: For installations in apartments or shared access systems, the control unit may be locked by the original installer. In such cases, only the installer has the necessary code to program new remotes. If you are unable to program the remote, it is likely due to this lock, and the remote is not defective. Please contact the original installer for assistance.
Battery Installation:
The Genius Echo TX4 uses a 12V battery. To install or replace the battery:
- Carefully open the transmitter casing.
- Insert the 12V battery, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).

- Select Channel: Identify the button on your transmitter that has been programmed to control your specific device (e.g., gate, garage door).
- Press Button: Press and hold the desired button briefly.
- Observe LED: The red signal LED on the transmitter will illuminate during transmission, indicating that a signal is being sent.
- Release Button: Release the button once the device begins to respond.
The rolling code system ensures that a different code is transmitted each time the button is pressed, enhancing security.
5. Maintenance
The Genius Echo TX4 transmitter requires minimal maintenance to ensure long-term performance.
Battery Replacement:
When the red signal LED becomes dim or the transmitter's range decreases, it is likely time to replace the 12V battery. Follow the battery installation steps outlined in Section 3.
