- Step 2 (Select Mode): Press the button you would like to change working mode. The LED will change to the corresponding color.
- Initiate Pairing on Opener: Press and release the 'Learn' button on your garage door opener motor unit. The 'Learn' LED on the opener will glow steadily for 30 seconds, indicating it is ready to pair.
- Program the Remote: Within 30 seconds of pressing the opener's 'Learn' button, press and hold the desired button on your datonten remote that you wish to use. Release the remote button when the opener unit light blinks or two clicks are heard. This confirms successful pairing.
