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.”2. Write down the eight to 12 switch settings
from left to right as follows:
When a switch is in the up position,
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
you enter into the Universal Home Remote in
Step 4. Be sure to enter the switch settings
that you wrote down in Step 2, in order from
left to right, into the Universal Home Remote,
when completing Step 4.
3. From inside your vehicle, rst rmly press
all three buttons at the same time for about
three seconds. Release the buttons to
put the Universal Home Remote into
programming mode.

Remote for each switch setting as follows:
If you wrote “Left,” press the left button in the
vehicle.
If you wrote “Right,” press the right button in
the vehicle.
If you wrote “Middle,” press the middle
button in the vehicle.5. After entering all of the switch positions,
again, rmly press and release all three
buttons at the same time. The indicator lights
