Programming Instructions
STEP 1: Find Specifications & Learn/Program Button
Locate the brand and opener/receiver specifications for the device by consulting the label on the opener/receiver, the instructions manual, the current remote controls for the opener, or the original manufacturer or the opener/receiver.
Find the LEARN/PROGRAM button on the device - shape, color or name of this button could vary by brand. For garage door openers, be sure to check under the light covers. For commercial openers, this button may be on the circuit board or the opener. In some cases, this button could also be on an external receiver that is mounted on or nearby the product. Consult the devices manual if needed.
EXAMPLES:
PRGM RADIO SIGNAL LEARN SET LEARN CODE CODE
(These are common labels for the LEARN/PROGRAM button)

DIP Switch Compatible Models Supplemental Instructions
This is a Universal Keypad supplemental instruction for dip switch compatible operators. Use this in place of Step 3 of the main instruction. Reference the main instruction for all other keypad features and functions.
What do fixed code dip switches look like and how to convert them for programming the Universal Keypad?
The DIP SWITCHES will be located on the garage door opener motor head or inside the remote control.
If the opener has a group of 9 switches with 3 positions per switch (TRINARY):
- Switch in the UP (+) position = Press button 1 ⬆️
- Switch in the MIDDLE (0) position = Press button 2 ↔️
- Switch in the DOWN (-) position = Press button 3 ⬇️
In this example, the code would be:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
+ 0 -
3 1 2 1 3 1 1 1 2
If the opener has a group of 9-12 switches with 2 positions per switch (BINARY):
- Switch in the UP (+) position = Press button 1 ⬆️
- Switch in the DOWN (-) position = Press button 2 ⬇️
In this example, the code would be:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
+ -
2 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 1 2 2 2
STEP 1: Find and notate DIP SWITCH positions
Each shaded box below represents a DIP switch position. In these boxes, write in the number 1, 2 or 3 as it corresponds to the +, 0, or - switch position shown on the remote, opener or receiver. You will need to reference this section in STEP 3 later. (Not all boxes will be used when working with 9 switch openers).
Convert the code for opener #1:
[ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
Convert the code for opener #2:
[ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]

- Remove battery cover and batteries. Replace if necessary. NOTE: Only use standard or alkaline AAA batteries. DO NOT use rechargeable batteries.
- Drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the top mounting screw.
- Install included screw into pilot hole, leaving 1/8" gap between the screw head and wall.
- Hook the slotted mount on back of keypad over the screw.
- Mark and drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the bottom screw and secure keypad to the wall. (Do not over-tighten).
- Reinstall batteries.
Diagram Description: A screw is shown partially inserted into a wall. A gap of 1/8 inch is indicated between the screw head and the wall surface. This illustrates the recommended mounting method for the keypad, where the screw head provides a point to hang the keypad before marking the second screw hole.
