How do I program a Digi-Code DC-MAG remote?

Step 1: Set the A/B Mode Switch

The DC-MAG remote is compatible with multiple brands, but you must first select the correct mode using the internal slide switch.

    [cite_start]
  1. Remove the lower front half of the case ("battery hatch") using a coin or the curved end of the visor clip[cite: 45, 46].
  2. [cite_start]
  3. Locate the A/B Slide Switch next to the battery[cite: 47].
  4. [cite_start]
  5. Set to Position "A": If you are using this remote for Allstar, GTO, or Mighty Mule systems[cite: 48].
  6. [cite_start]
  7. Set to Position "B": If you are using this remote for MVP systems[cite: 49].
⚠ WARNING: Disconnect operator power before any installation or repair. [cite_start]Always wear safety glasses[cite: 18].

Step 2: Set the Code Switches

Once the mode is selected, you must set the 9-position trinary switches to match your system.

For Allstar, GTO, and Mighty Mule (Mode "A")

    [cite_start]
  1. Ensure the A/B switch is set to "A"[cite: 63].
  2. [cite_start]
  3. Match Existing Remote: If you have a working remote, set the switches in the new DC-MAG to match your original remote exactly[cite: 65].
  4. Create New Code: If you do not have a working remote, create a unique pattern. [cite_start]DO NOT set all switches to the same position (all +, all -, or all 0)[cite: 86].

For MVP Systems (Mode "B")

    [cite_start]
  1. Ensure the A/B switch is set to "B"[cite: 91].
  2. Set the 9 code switches to a personalized setting. [cite_start]DO NOT set all switches to the same position[cite: 106].
  3. Proceed to Step 3 to pair this new code with your receiver or operator.

Step 3: Pairing with the Receiver

Method 1: MVP Door Operator

    [cite_start]
  1. Momentarily press and release the Program Button on the deluxe wall station[cite: 14].
  2. [cite_start]
  3. The RED LED and the work light on the operator will turn ON[cite: 15].
  4. [cite_start]
  5. Press and hold the button on your DC-MAG transmitter[cite: 19].
  6. [cite_start]
  7. When the operator learns the code, the LED and work light will turn OFF[cite: 19].
  8. Release the transmitter button. [cite_start]The programming is complete[cite: 20].
[cite_start]

Note: If the LED blinks, hold the Program button for 5 seconds to clear memory and start over[cite: 28].

Method 2: MVP Receiver

  1. Momentarily press and release the Program Button on the receiver. [cite_start]The Indicator LED will turn ON[cite: 2].
  2. [cite_start]
  3. Press and hold the button on your DC-MAG transmitter[cite: 3].
  4. [cite_start]
  5. When the receiver learns the code, the Indicator LED will turn OFF[cite: 3].
  6. [cite_start]
  7. Release the transmitter button[cite: 4].

Method 3: GTO / Mighty Mule Gate Openers

    [cite_start]
  1. Ensure the A/B switch is in the "A" position[cite: 85].
  2. [cite_start]
  3. Locate the "LEARN REMOTE" button or "ON/OFF" switch on your gate operator control board[cite: 68].
  4. [cite_start]
  5. Follow the specific programming procedure outlined in your original Gate Opener Installation Manual[cite: 69].
