Troubleshooting

- Remote Not Working After Programming:
- Ensure the 'Learn Code' button on your garage door opener was pressed and released correctly, and that the remote button was pressed within the 30-second window.

- Check the remote's battery. If the LED indicator is dim or does not light up, replace the battery.
- Attempt the programming steps again, ensuring you are close to the garage door opener motor head during the process.
- Limited Range:
- Ensure there are no significant obstructions between the remote and the garage door opener.
- Check the remote's battery. A weak battery can reduce operating range.
