3.1 Step 1: Pre-program the Remote Control
- Press and hold the "program button" (located at the bottom right of the remote) using the provided safety pin for approximately 3-5 seconds. Release the button when the indicator light begins to flash (it will flash 4 times).
- Select a remote control button (the remote has 3 buttons) you wish to use. Press this button a specific number of times based on your garage door opener's frequency or the color of its learn button:

At this point, the remote control is pre-programmed. Proceed to the next step to sync it with your garage door opener.
3.2 Step 2: Sync with your Garage Door Opener
- Locate and press the "Learn Button" on your garage door opener. Release it. The learn indicator light on the opener will blink steadily for 30 seconds.
- While the opener's light is blinking, press and hold the remote control button (the same button you programmed in Step 1b) until the light on your garage door opener flashes or you hear two clicks (if no light bulb is installed).
