Programming Universal Home
Remote — Fixed Code
Most garage door openers sold before 1996 are
Fixed Code units.
Programming a garage door opener involves
time-sensitive actions, so read the entire procedure
before you begin. If you do not follow these
actions, the device will time out and you will have
to repeat the procedure.Follow these steps to program up to three devices:
1. To verify if you have a Fixed Code garage
door opener, remove the battery cover on
your hand held transmitter supplied by the
manufacturer of your garage door opener
motor. If you see a row of dip switches similar
to the graphic above, you have a Fixed Code
garage door opener. If you do not see a
row of dip switches, return to the previous
section for Programming Universal Home
Remote – Rolling Code.

Your panel of switches may not appear
exactly as they do in the examples above,
but they should be similar.
The switch positions on your hand-held
transmitter may be labeled, as follows:
A switch in the up position may be labeled
as “Up,” “+,” or “On.”
A switch in the down position may be
labeled as “Down,” “−,” or “Off.”
A switch in the middle position may be
labeled as “Middle,” “0,” or “Neutral.”

write “Left.”
When a switch is in the down position,
write “Right.”
If a switch is set between the up and down
position, write “Middle.”
The switch settings that you wrote down
in Step 2 will now become the button strokes

the luggage carrier — like paneling,
plywood, a mattress and so forth — the
wind can catch it as you drive along.
This can cause you to lose control.
What you are carrying could be violently
torn off, and this could cause you or other
drivers to have a collision, and of course
damage your vehicle. You may be able to
carry something like this inside. But,
never carry something longer or wider
than the luggage carrier on top of your
vehicle.
