Safety Instructions
- Keep the remote control out of reach of children and animals.

- If range issues occur, position the remote control higher (e.g., under the sun visor in a car) or replace the battery.
- Do not operate buttons with fingernails to avoid damage.
Operation
Each button and button combination has a unique radio code.
To access the buttons, slide out the concealed keypad (D) using your thumb and index finger. Only slide it out as far as necessary to access the required buttons.
Always slide the keypad back fully when not in use to prevent accidental operation.
Code Transmission (Remote Control to Radio Receiver)
There are 2-channel and 4-channel radio receivers. The illustration shows a 4-channel model. SL-type garage door drives use a 2-channel radio receiver.
- Press the learning button (A) on the radio receiver:
- Press once for Channel 1 (LED 1 lights up).
- Press twice for Channel 2 (LED 2 lights up).
- Press three times for Channel 3 (LED 3 lights up).
- Press four times for Channel 4 (LED 4 lights up).
- Press the desired button (B) on the remote control. The remote transmits the radio code to the receiver. The corresponding LED will turn off.
- Repeat steps 1 and 2 to program additional remote controls.
Battery Replacement
- Keep batteries out of reach of children. Seek immediate medical attention if a battery is swallowed.
- Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced incorrectly.
- Only use type CR 2032 batteries for replacement.
- Always package batteries for storage or disposal. Prevent contact with other metallic objects to avoid discharge, ignition, or damage.
- Dispose of damaged or used batteries correctly according to local environmental regulations.
- Do not dispose of batteries in household waste.
Procedure:
- Pull out the sliding part (D).
- Remove the old battery (F) and insert the new one, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
- Note: Press a button (B) before reassembly; the LED (C) must light up. If not, the battery is inserted incorrectly.
- Insert the sliding part (D) into the stainless steel housing (E), pressing down (G) simultaneously.
Troubleshooting
- LED does not light up: Battery is flat or the remote control is defective.
- Drive does not start:
- The remote control has not been programmed.
- The remote button was pressed multiple times outside the reception range. Press the button (at least twice) until the drive starts.
