The integr atedgarage dooropener iscom-
patible withdevices thathave units which
operate inthe frequency rangeof280 to
433 MHz.
R Replace thebatteries ingarage doorremote
cont rol0083. This increases thelikelihood that

R When programming, holdremote control0083
at varying distances andangles frombut-
ton s0044 to0085 which youareprogramming.
Try various anglesatadistance between
