Setup and Programming

Follow these steps to set up and program your new LAWOHO remote control:

Step 1: Access the Dip Switches and Battery

1. Locate the sliding cover at the bottom of the remote control.
2. Gently pull down the bottom cover with your hand to expose the internal components, including the 10 dip switches and the 12V 23A alkaline battery.

Step 2: Set the Dip Switches

3. Identify the dip switch settings on your original remote control or your garage door opener/receiver. The dip switches are typically numbered 1 through 10.
4. Using a small screwdriver or a ballpoint pen, carefully set the 10 dip switches on your new LAWOHO remote to match the exact ON (CLOSED) or OFF (OPEN) positions of your original remote or receiver.
5. Important Tip: Normally, you only need to set the DIP switches of your new remote control to the same position as your original remote control, from "1" to "10". If this does not work, try setting it to the opposite position (e.g., if your original remote has switch 1 "ON", set your new remote's switch 1 to "OFF", and so on for all 10 switches). This accounts for potential variations in original remote or receiver dip switch configurations.

Step 3: Close the Remote and Test

6. Once the dip switches are set, carefully re-attach the bottom cover to the remote control, ensuring it clicks securely into place.
7. Test the remote control by pressing the button while within range of your garage door opener or gate receiver.

Operating Instructions

To operate your LAWOHO garage door remote control:

• Point the remote control towards your garage door opener or gate receiver.
• Press the single white button firmly. The red LED indicator on the remote should light up, indicating a signal is being transmitted.
• The garage door or gate should activate (open or close).
• The remote features a strong signal range, up to 150 feet, ensuring reliable operation from a distance.

Maintenance

Battery Replacement

The remote control uses a 12V 23A alkaline battery (included). If the remote control's LED does not light up when the button is pressed, or if the range significantly decreases, it is likely time to replace the battery.

1. Follow Step 1 from the "Setup and Programming" section to open the remote control and access the battery compartment.
2. Remove the old 12V 23A battery.
3. Insert a new 12V 23A alkaline battery, ensuring correct polarity.
4. Close the remote control cover securely.
5. After replacing the battery, it is recommended to re-verify the dip switch settings to ensure they match your receiver, as sometimes a low battery can affect programming stability.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your LAWOHO remote control, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Remote LED does not light up when button is pressed:
  • Check the battery. The battery may be dead or improperly installed. Replace with a new 12V 23A alkaline battery if necessary.
  • Ensure the battery is inserted with the correct polarity.
• Garage door/gate does not respond or range is poor:
  • Verify that the dip switches on the remote exactly match those on your original remote or receiver. Refer to "Step 2: Set the Dip Switches" in the Setup section, including the tip about reversing positions if needed.
  • A low battery can cause reduced signal strength. Replace the battery even if the LED lights faintly.
  • Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the receiver.
  • Confirm your garage door opener or gate receiver operates on a 310MHz frequency and uses 10 dip switches. This remote is not compatible with other frequencies or switch configurations.
• Remote worked previously but stopped:
  • This is often a battery issue. Replace the battery and reprogram the remote control by re-setting the dip switches.
