Setup and Programming
Follow these steps to program your Hormann D437336 HS4-315 remote control to your compatible garage door opener.
- Locate the Learn Button: On your Hormann SilentDrive garage door opener (SD5500, SD7500, or SD8500), locate the "Learn" or "Program" button. This button is typically found on the motor unit itself, often near the wiring terminals or the antenna. Consult your garage door opener's manual for its exact location if needed.
- Press the Learn Button: Press and immediately release the "Learn" button on the garage door opener. The LED indicator on the opener will typically light up or flash, indicating it is in programming mode. You usually have about 30 seconds to complete the next step.
- Activate the Remote: Within the 30-second programming window, press and hold the desired button on your new Hormann HS4-315 remote control that you wish to program.
- Confirm Programming: Continue holding the button on the remote until the garage door opener's light flashes or clicks, indicating successful programming. Release the button on the remote.
- Test the Remote: Press the programmed button on your remote control to test its operation. The garage door should activate (open or close).
Note: If the remote does not work after programming, repeat the steps. Ensure you are within range of the garage door opener during programming. If you have multiple garage door openers, repeat the process for each one, assigning a different button on the remote if desired.
Operating Instructions
Using your Hormann D437336 HS4-315 remote control is straightforward:
