Maintenance
Battery Replacement
If the red light on the remote control is dim or flickers when a button is pressed, the transmitter battery may be weak. Replace the batteries when necessary with new A23S 12V batteries. Refer to the 'Battery Installation' section for instructions on how to open the remote control and replace the batteries.
Troubleshooting
- Remote not responding: Check if the batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient charge. Replace batteries if the indicator light is dim.
- Limited range: Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the gate opener receiver. Check for potential interference from other electronic devices.
- Gate not opening/closing: Verify that the remote control is properly programmed to your gate opener. Refer to the 'Programming New Transmitter' section or your gate opener's installation manual.
- DIP switch settings: If you are replacing a lost transmitter, ensure the DIP switch settings on the new remote match your original transmitter or the gate opener's receiver.
