How do I erase the remote control from the garage door opener's memory? There are a few instances that the memory of your opener would need to be erased. NOTE: Erasing the memory will remove ALL remote controls and keyless entry codes from the garage door opener. Begin by locating the LEARN button on the back or side of the motor unit; generally this is on the same side as the antenna wire. You may need to remove a light lens cover or open a control panel to gain access. The LEARN button may be green, orange, red, purple or yellow, and will have a small LED next to it.

Video - Erase the remote controls from memory How to find the "Learn" button on my garage door opener How to program accessories to your Internet Connectivity DeviceYou have a shiny new car and want to program your garage door opener to it. So you get out your garage door remote control and your new car's owner's manual for the instructions from the manufacturer to be able to program the remote control to the car. Then, after following the instructions from the manual, you press the button for the garage door to go up . . . and nothing happens. Did you miss a step? Read on to learn about what most instruction manuals leave out: the step of programming the car/truck/van to the garage door machine itself. The Logic BoardOn the back side of your garage door opener is a panel called the logic board (see the photo above). The logic board is the computer or brain of the machine. Most new garage door openers are multi-code machines.
That means that they use several signals each time you press the button on your remote control. This is for security, so your code can't be stolen by a code-grabber. Programming a Vehicle to the Garage Door OpenerOnce you have followed the instructions on programing your machine, you now have to "teach" the garage door opener to connect to the remote device in your car. First, press the "learn" button on the back of your garage door opener mounted on the ceiling. (The learn button, located on the back of your machine, will be square if using a Liftmaster machine. Craftsman, Liftmaster, Chamberlain are all the same. Their learn buttons are square and usually yellow, red/orange, or purple. If using a Genie, the button says "learn button.") The single press of this button should be brief and firm. Do not hold this button down. If you do, it erases all of the programming in the machine and you'll have to re-program all the remote controls that you have, and that's not a fun process.
Quickly press the button on the remote control and hold it down a moment. If your car has a built-in button, then you'll need to have someone help you by pressing that button now. Programing the remote to the machine only takes a second. When the machine accepts the code, the light on the machine might flash for a brief moment, and you should hear an audible click. Yep, it's that easy! I don't know why the auto makers leave this step out, but that's really it. I hope this helps, and if you have any questions, leave them in the comments below and I will try to walk you through it. Don't Hold the Learn Button DownIf you do, it erases all of the programming and you'll have to re-program all the remote controls you have.After pressing the learn button, go through the same programming method using the second button. This process will not over write the first button. If using the dip switch programming steps, and after programming the first button the dip switch sequence stays stored in the memory of the first button you programmed, therefore if you were to move the dip switches the first button that was programmed will still work.
To program the second button, change the dip switch sequence to match the dip switch sequence for the second operator and go through the same programming method using the second button. The KLIK1U only has two positions, in this scenario where the transmitter or receiver has a three position switch, move all switches in the 0 position to either a + or -. No switches on the receiver system should be in the 0 position. The up switch position on the KLIK1U equals a + position on the receiver. The down position on the KLIK1U equals a - position on the receiver. The codes cannot be erased, only overwritten. A newly programmed code will take the place of a previous code. KLIK1U is not working, no LED The LED is also a power indicator, pressing a button on the KLIK1U should cause the LED to illuminate. If the LED does not illuminate after button press, replace 3 volt lithium battery. How can I stop one button from operating two doors? If the Clicker is operating two doors, you will have to clear the memory of the garage door opener that is installed in the ceiling of the garage that you do not want the Clicker to operate.
To clear out the KLIK2U, you press and hold the * and the # keys together until the keypad stops flashing. The back light is also a power indicator, pressing a button on the KLIK2U should cause the back light to illuminate. If the back light does not illuminate after a button is pressed, replace the 9 volt lithium battery. How can I program the KLIK2U to a second garage door opener? The KLIK2U can only be programmed to one garage door opener. If your garage door opener has 10, 8, or 9 switches, match up the first nine switches and then turn the remaining switches to the down position. If equipped with a learn button, they can either be found on the garage door opener or on an external receiver. To locate the receiver look for an antenna some receivers will require a cover be removed to gain access to the switch positions. The KLIK1U and KLIK2U operate on 310 MHz, 315 MHz, 318MHz, 390 MHz and 372.5 MHz radio frequencies. Is Clicker compatible with the new Chamberlain, LiftMaster or Sears models with the yellow learn button?
Models KLIK1U and KLIK2U are compatible with the new Security +2.0 technology (yellow learn button). To program model KLIK1U, use #8 on chart A. To program model KLIK2U, use brand ID 8 on Type 4. If I change the battery in the Clicker will I have to reprogram it? You may or may not have to, after replacing the battery if the Clicker no longer operates the unit then you will have to reprogram it. Where is my learn button on my gate? Most gate operators have a built in radio receiver or an external receiver. The receiver on a gate opener can usually be found within the cabinet of the operator. To gain access you might require permission if used in a community gate. Why does the KLIK1U/KLIK2U/KLIK3U work but has short range? Attempt to reprogram the KLIK1U/KLIK2U/KLIK3U. If reprogramming does not solve the issue, one of three conditions could be occurring. (1) RF interference, if this is the case you may have to locate the source of the RF interference and discontinue use of that devise or some manufacturers offer alternate frequency receivers.
