learcar2u.com.
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 starting. Otherwise, the device will time out
and the procedure will have to be repeated.To program up to three devices:
1. To verify that the garage door opener is a
Fixed Code unit, remove the battery cover
on the hand held transmitter supplied by the
manufacturer of the garage door opener motor.
If there are a row of dip switches similar to the
graphic above, the garage door opener is a Fixed
Code unit. If you do not see a row of dip switches,
return to the previous section for Programming
Universal Home Remote – Rolling Code.
The hand held transmitter can have between
eight to 12 dip switches depending on the brand
