5. Setup and Programming

The Marantec Digital 572 Handheld Transmitter must be programmed to your Marantec garage door operator or compatible bi·linked receiver before use. The exact programming procedure may vary slightly depending on your specific operator model. Refer to your garage door operator's instruction manual for detailed programming steps. Generally, the process involves activating a programming mode on your receiver and then transmitting a signal from the handheld transmitter.

General Programming Steps (Consult your operator's manual for specifics):

1. Access Receiver Programming Mode: Locate the programming button or menu on your Marantec garage door operator or external bi·linked receiver. Press and hold this button until the programming indicator (usually an LED) illuminates or flashes.
2. Transmit Signal from Handheld Transmitter: While the receiver is in programming mode, press and hold the desired button on your Digital 572 handheld transmitter. The LED on the transmitter will illuminate.
3. Confirm Pairing: Release the button on the handheld transmitter once the receiver's indicator confirms successful pairing (e.g., LED stops flashing, changes color, or the operator briefly moves).
4. Test Operation: After programming, test the handheld transmitter by pressing the programmed button to ensure it controls the garage door or gate correctly.

Note: The bi·linked radio system uses a rolling code and 128-bit encryption for security. Each button press generates a new code, making unauthorized copying extremely difficult.

6. Operating Instructions

Once programmed, operating the Marantec Digital 572 is straightforward:

• Single Function Control: Press and release the programmed button to activate the associated function (e.g., open/close garage door). The red LED on the transmitter will briefly illuminate.
• Multiple Function Control: If you have programmed different buttons to control separate operators or functions, press the respective button for the desired action.
• Range: The effective range of the transmitter can be affected by environmental factors, such as obstacles, weather conditions, and interference from other radio devices.

7. Maintenance

Battery Replacement

The Marantec Digital 572 uses a Lithium Manganese Dioxide battery. When the red LED on the transmitter becomes dim or fails to illuminate during button presses, it indicates a low battery and requires replacement.

1. Carefully open the transmitter casing. Refer to the diagram in your operator's manual or look for a small notch to pry open the case.
2. Remove the old battery, noting its orientation.
3. Insert a new Lithium Manganese Dioxide battery, ensuring correct polarity.
4. Close the casing securely.
5. Test the transmitter to confirm functionality.

Cleaning: Clean the exterior of the transmitter with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
