This image displays two black garage door opener remotes. Each remote has three light gray rectangular buttons arranged horizontally at the top, below which is a small green LED indicator light. A metal clip is attached to the top of each remote for convenient attachment to a car visor. The remotes are designed for easy handling and operation.

Setup and Programming Instructions

Programming your new GDR PRO remote involves two main steps: changing the transmitter's internal code and then programming that code to your garage door opener's power head unit. It is crucial to follow these steps precisely.

Step 1: Changing the Transmitter Code

This step generates a new, random code for your remote button.

1. Press and hold the button on the transmitter that you intend to program. The green LED on the remote will flash once and then turn off.
2. Continue to hold the button until the green LED begins to flash again (this typically takes approximately 10 seconds).
3. Immediately release the button once the green LED starts flashing. Then, immediately press and hold the same button again. The green LED will now illuminate steadily.
4. Continue to hold the button until the green LED begins to flash (this typically takes approximately 5 seconds).
5. Immediately release the button once the green LED starts flashing.
6. The code for this button has now been changed to a new, randomly generated code. Do not press the button again until instructed in the next step.

Step 2: Programming Transmitter to Power Head Unit

This step links your remote's new code to your garage door opener.

1. Locate the PROGRAM button on your garage door motor head unit. Press this button once. The PROGRAM STATUS light on the motor head unit will turn on and remain lit for approximately one minute, indicating it is ready to learn a new transmitter code.
2. Within that one-minute window, press the same button on your GDR PRO transmitter that you just programmed in Step 1. The PROGRAM STATUS light on the motor head unit will turn off, indicating a successful learning process.
3. Press the same button on the transmitter once more to test and operate the garage door.

Important Note: If programming is unsuccessful, or if the button does not operate the door, or if you wish to program another button for a different door, you must repeat Step 1 (Changing the Transmitter Code) for that specific button before attempting Step 2 again.

Operation

Once programmed, simply press the corresponding button on your GDR PRO remote to open or close your garage door. Ensure you have a clear line of sight to the garage door opener and that no obstructions are present in the door's path.

Maintenance

Battery Replacement:

Your remote uses one Lithium Metal battery (included). If the green LED on the remote does not illuminate when a button is pressed, or if the remote's range significantly decreases, it is likely time to replace the battery.

To replace the battery:

1. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the remote.
2. Open the compartment using a small screwdriver or coin if necessary.
3. Remove the old battery and insert a new Lithium Metal battery, ensuring correct polarity.
4. Close the battery compartment securely.

Troubleshooting

• Remote does not respond (no LED light): Check the battery. Replace if necessary.
• Remote LED lights up but door does not operate: Ensure the remote has been correctly programmed to the garage door opener. Repeat the programming steps carefully. Verify that the garage door opener itself is receiving power and functioning correctly.
• Door operates intermittently: This could indicate a low battery in the remote or potential interference. Try replacing the battery first.
• Multiple remotes interfere with each other: If programming multiple remotes or buttons, ensure each button's code is changed (Step 1) before programming it to the opener (Step 2). If issues persist, try reprogramming one remote at a time, ensuring each generates a unique code.
