4.1. Programming for Learn Button Openers (Chamberlain, LiftMaster, Craftsman, Genie, etc.)

This method applies to garage door openers with a colored Learn Button (Purple, Yellow, Green, Red, Orange).

1. Locate the Learn Button: Identify the color of the programming button on your garage door opener unit, typically located on the motor unit or an external receiver.
2. Prepare the Remote: Press and hold buttons 'B' and 'C' on the Acvoce remote simultaneously. The blue LED on the remote will illuminate and remain lit. Release both buttons.
3. Select Remote Button and Frequency: Press and release the button you wish to program (e.g., button 'C') a specific number of times corresponding to your opener's Learn Button color:
   • Yellow Learn Button: Press once
   • Purple Learn Button: Press twice
   • Red/Orange Learn Button: Press three times
   • Green Learn Button: Press four times
   The blue LED will blink momentarily after each press and then remain lit.
4. Confirm Selection: Press any OTHER button on the remote (e.g., 'A', 'B', or 'D' if you programmed 'C'). The blue LED will turn off.
5. Activate Opener's Programming Mode: On your garage door opener unit, press and release its Learn Button. The LED indicator on the opener will illuminate, indicating it is ready to pair.
6. Pair the Remote: Within 30 seconds, press and hold the button you programmed on the Acvoce remote (e.g., 'C') until the garage door opener's light flashes or you hear a click. This indicates successful pairing.
7. Test Operation: Press the programmed button on the Acvoce remote to confirm it operates your garage door.

4.2. Programming for DIP Switch Openers (Linear Multi-Code, Stanley, etc.)

This method applies to garage door openers that use physical DIP switches for coding.

1. Access DIP Switches: Open the battery cover of your Acvoce SM24 remote to reveal the internal DIP switches.
2. Match DIP Switch Settings: Carefully match the ON/OFF positions of the DIP switches on your Acvoce remote to the exact ON/OFF positions of the DIP switches on your existing garage door opener or original remote.
3. Close Remote: Once the DIP switches are matched, close the battery cover of the Acvoce remote.
4. Test Operation: Press any button on the Acvoce remote to confirm it operates your garage door.

• Unable to pair the door opener?
  • Check Compatibility: Verify that your garage door opener is listed as compatible in Section 2 of this manual.
