Program a remote to the 8100M
- Open the remote's battery cover to find its row of code switches.
- Open the opener's receiver or motor-unit cover to find its code switches.
- Set the remote's switches to exactly match the opener's.
- Close both covers and test the remote.
Program a keypad
- Press and release the Learn button on the motor unit. The LED stays lit for about 30 seconds.
- Within 30 seconds, type a 4-digit PIN of your choice on the keypad.
- Press and hold the Enter button (or the up/down button on some keypads) until the opener lights blink.
- Test it: type your PIN and press Enter. The door should move.
Program your car (HomeLink)
- Program the car first: hold your working remote 1 to 3 inches from the car's garage buttons, then press and hold the car button and the remote button together until the car's indicator light flashes quickly.
- Go to the opener and press and release the Learn button. You have 30 seconds.
- Back in the car, press and hold the garage button you programmed for 2 seconds, then let go. Repeat up to three times until the door moves.
The first part happens in your car. Find your car's own steps in our car guides.
Erase all remotes
- Press and hold the Learn button on the motor unit for about 6 seconds, until the LED goes out.
- Every remote and keypad paired to the opener is now erased. The wall button still works.
- Program the remotes and keypads you want to keep again.
After programming: test the safety reverse. Put a piece of wood or a roll of paper towels flat under the door and close it. The door should touch it and go back up. If it doesn't, don't use the opener until it's fixed.
