How to program a Genie garage door remote
These steps are for current Genie openers with a square PROGRAM/SET button. It takes about a minute. You'll need a step ladder.
- Find the square PROGRAM/SET (PRGM) button on the opener powerhead.
- Hold it until the round LED turns blue, then let go; the long LED flashes purple (30-second window).
- Stand at least 5 ft from the opener and press the remote button slowly, twice.
- Both LEDs flash and go out when the remote is learned; press the button again to test.
- Repeat for each extra button or remote.
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.
