Safety warnings

WARNING – To reduce the risk of serious injury or death:

  • Keep all remote controls out of reach of children. Do not allow children to operate or play with any remote transmitter.
  • Activate a gate or garage door only when the door or gate is clearly visible and there are no people, vehicles, or objects in its path.
  • Monitor the door or gate until it is fully closed. Never allow anyone to walk or drive under a moving door or gate.

Before You Start Programming

  1. Verify that the garage door area is clear of all obstructions.
  2. Confirm that the opener’s light works; the flashing light is used as feedback during programming.
  3. Locate the opener’s LEARN button. You may need a ladder and may need to remove the light lens cover to see it.
  4. Identify the color of the LEARN button. The remotes support the following colors:
    • White
    • Yellow
    • Purple (may appear brown over time)
    • Orange
    • Red

Programming Options by LEARN Button Color

Wi-Fi / myQ models (White or Yellow LEARN button) – Using the myQ App

Highly recommended for openers with built-in Wi-Fi or “Powered by myQ” branding.

  1. Confirm your opener shows a Wi-Fi or Powered by myQ logo, or is listed as myQ compatible.
  2. On your smartphone, download and open the myQ app.
  3. Follow the myQ app instructions to connect your garage door opener to your home Wi-Fi network.
  4. Once the opener is connected in the app, scan the QR code on the back of the remote control.
  5. Follow the on-screen prompts in the myQ app to complete remote programming.

After setup in the myQ app, you can name your remote, view access history, and receive notifications whenever the remote activates the opener.

Testing & Troubleshooting

  • Successful test: Press the programmed remote button. The garage door or gate should activate.
  • If it does not activate, wait until the opener’s LEARN LED turns off (for white or yellow LEARN buttons this can take up to 3 minutes), then repeat the appropriate programming steps.
  • If you previously programmed the same remote button to a different opener with another LEARN button color, reprogram the remote using the multi-color (yellow/purple/orange/red) LEARN procedure above so that it is correctly learned to the white LEARN opener.

Battery Replacement

The red LED on the remote will stop flashing or become very dim when the battery is low. Replace the battery as soon as possible.

  • Battery type: 3V CR2032 coin-cell battery (non-rechargeable).

Replacing the Battery – 3-Button Remote (L993M / CH363 / CH363C)

  1. On the back of the remote, use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to loosen the captive screw until it turns freely.
  2. With the buttons facing upward, carefully separate the top housing from the bottom. If it does not separate, confirm the screw is fully loosened.
  3. If the circuit board comes away from the buttons, gently reposition it using the alignment holes on the board.

  5. Insert the new CR2032 battery with the positive (+) side facing up.
  6. Align the top and bottom housings and press them together until they snap into place. Tighten the captive screw until the housing is secure, but do not overtighten.

Replacing the Battery – 2-Button Keychain Remote (L932M / CH382 / CH382C)

  2. Lift the top housing away from the bottom housing.
  3. If the circuit board comes loose from the buttons, carefully realign it using the guide holes.

  5. Following the “INSERT” arrow printed on the board, install the new CR2032 battery with the positive (+) side facing up.
