Genie Blue Max Garage Door Opener Remote Programming

[Carol]

Pleasenote, clearing the memory of your opener is an optional step. It will remove all remotes, cars, or keyless entries connected and require them to be reprogrammed, but may be a good safety measure if you have lost your garage door remote. Otherwise, skip the memory clearing step and just begin to program the remote.

If the remote doesn't program to your opener, try pressing the remote button 3-4 times. Make sure you are standing about 3 feet from the opener and complete all the above steps within the 30 second timeframe, otherwise restart the process with the program button.

These transmitters work by matching the settings on the internal code setting switches with the same set of switches in the receiver on the garage ceiling. The receiver is located either behind the light lens of the Genie garage door opener motor head, or inside an external small rectangular box on the ceiling, which is connected to the motor head by a set of wires. Note: the frequency of the transmitter must be the same frequency as the receiver on the ceiling for it to work. Genie has been making the 390 MHz frequency exclusively for the last 15 years.

These garage door opener transmitters have 2 smaller switches to the right of the internal Code Setting Switches. The small right switch should be set according to how many Code Setting Switches in your receiver (either 9 or 12). The small left switch is for programming purposes. To program a button for one of your doors, follow the instructions below:

This new Genie Intellicode Radio Receiver connects differently than previous versions of Genie external receivers. The receiver is powered through the terminals marked power and common. A Genie garage door opener which has only 3 terminals on its motor head will use the terminals on the motor head marked 1 for common and 3 for power. If you have a Genie garage door opener with more than 3 terminals, an external 24Vac adaptor will need to be purchased to supply power to this receiver.

If your Genie garage door opener remote is not working, it may need to be reprogrammed. Follow the instructions below to reprogram the Genie remote just like when it was new, even if it worked before.

3. Press and release the same button a third time and door will open or close. It is possible to press the remote button too quickly or lightly. If the LEDs do not go OFF, press the remote button several more times to achieve confirmation.

NOTE: Clearing remote control memory from the power head will clear ALL programmed remotes and keypads. Your opener will no longer recognize any signal from any remote device, including a missing remote device.

Here at Genie of Fairview Door Co., our customers have relied on us to help install, set up and reprogram garage door opener systems since 1964! Before you call us, though, you may be able to self-diagnose and solve a hand-held remote programming issue on your own.

Gently press and release the radio receiver Learn Code button on the Genie of Fairview motor head in your garage. This small, black, usually unmarked button is often located behind the light cover on the motor head and is nearest the 8 inch floppy antenna wire protruding from the head. After pressing this button once, a red indicator light located next to the button will start blinking red for 30 seconds. **

These remotes work by matching the settings on the internal code switches with the radio receiver on the garage ceiling. Look for the floppy 8 inch floppy antenna wire for the location of the radio control receiver . The above diagram shows a GT912 set switch system. The GT90 series would only show the bottom 12 numbers. On the GT912 diagram the wide switch to the right is based on whether your radio receiver in the garage is a 9 switch or 12 switch. If a 9 switch move this wide switch up for 9 and only follow the top nine numbers to match the receiver switches. Note: these remotes will only work the Genie remotes with a frequency of 390.

Googling "liftmaster remote for genie controller", I do find lots of pages about "Genie remote, Liftmaster garage opener", but I haven't come across any info for the other way around, "Liftmaster remote, Genie garage opener".

Right on the site you linked it says:"GDO Learn Button Color Compatibility (Learn Button Color) Yellow Circle". This color/shape was introduced in 2011 and determines the frequency and technology used for the remote.

The remote you purchased only works with garage door openers with a yellow circle for the learn button. You will need to find one which lists compatibility with the button color and shape that matches your own. For reference, it should match one of these:

According to the documentation, the LiftMaster model you have is not sold as a "universal" remote, but rather only for LiftMaster openers. There's nothing in the documentation about using it with other manufacturer's openers.

Older model Genie garage door openers use dip switches rather than a "smart" to program the opener and remote controls. Unlike their Intellicode system, which you can program with a press of a button, the remotes and the door opener dip switches must match in order for the remotes to work correctly. You will need Genie's GT912 remote control to program the old Genie door opener to the remote. You can purchase Genie remotes at Sears or through Genie authorized dealers.

Get the three digit frequency number off your Genie door opener. The frequency number will be stamped on the rear of the motor. Purchase a GT912 remote control that uses the same frequency number as your opener.

Place a stepladder under the rear of the Genie garage door opener motor head. Locate the dip switches on the back of the motor head. There will be a line of nine or 12 white dip switches on the upper right corner.

Slide the battery cover off the GT916 remote control. Press where the arrow is by the cover with your thumb to slide the cover off the remote control. Locate the mode switch on the right side of the remote control dip switches. Slide the mode switch to either 9 or 12 depending upon how many dip switches the Genie opener uses.

Slide each individual switch on the remote control to the exact position each switch is on the door opener with your finger. Place the battery cover back on the remote control and press the white button on the remote control. If the Genie door opener does not operate, one or more of the dip switches is not set correctly. Remove the battery cover and review the dip switches and correct the ones that are out of place.

Remote controllers make everything easier. They allow us to operate electronic devices without getting off the couch. In the case of a garage door, the Genie Remote Controller lets you open and close the door without ever leaving the car. It even has a visor clip that snaps onto your rearview mirror, dashboard, pocket or any convenient location in your car.

Check the model number or brand number of your garage door opener. This is crucial, because controllers have different designs and functionalities, and that affects the programming process. For example, some garage door openers look like car alarm keypads. Others look more like a conventional HVAC controller, or even a TV remote controller. So check the brand.

Beyond the shape and size of your garage door opener, the color codes may be different. Door openers sometimes have red and blue lights. Others have round buttons and triangular ones. Some have longer flickering lights and shorter static ones. So take a few minutes to Google the brand or model of your garage door opener.

Each door you program will have its own button on the remote controller. So, since our sample has three buttons, we can repeat these steps on three separate garage doors. You can use the same remote controller for garage doors at your house, office, or holiday home. But be careful which buttons you select or you may accidentally overwrite and cancel the previous garage door.

Sometimes also,a remote control will just need to be reprogrammed. On this page, we have provided directions for programming Genie remote controls and keypads as well as Homelink and Car2U system programming.Click on the picture of your remote control below to download the programming instructions.
