ABOUT DUAL FREQUENCY

REMOTE TRANSMITTERS

Your garage door opener (GDO) features a unique dual frequency remote control system for reliable service in today’s crowded airwaves. Overcrowded airwaves may intermittently interfere with GDO’s remote control system. The dual frequency feature greatly reduces the possibility of unwanted interference.

The receiver in the GDO’s powerhead can receive signals at 315 AND 390 MHz.The remote is factory set at 315 MHz. See Figure 12 on page 11 for frequency selector switch.

Switch your remote control frequency when:

• Remote does not have adequate range.

• Remote works inconsistently with fresh battery

installed - LED feedback lights up when pressing button.

• Programming your car’s HomeLink® system.

To program a HomeLink® device:

(This GDO is HomeLink® compatible.)

• Use a small flat screwdriver to switch the

frequency selector to 390 MHz.

• Follow the HomeLink® instructions in your car

owner’s manual.

• Reset the remote control frequency to 315 MHz for

everyday use.
