Step 1: Prepare for Programming Before you begin programming your Genie garage door opener, make sure you have the following items ready:
- Genie garage door opener manual: This contains detailed instructions and information specific to your model. Refer to the manual for any model-specific variations or steps.
- Ladder: You may need a ladder to access the motor unit of the opener, typically installed on the ceiling of your garage.
- Garage door remote: Ensure that you have the remote(s) you want to program, as well as any additional accessories like keypads or wall consoles.
Step 2: Locate the Programming Button The location of the programming button may vary depending on the model of your Genie opener. However, it is usually found on the motor unit or the back panel of the opener. Consult your manual to determine the precise location of the button.
Step 3: Clear Memory (If Required) If you are reprogramming your Genie opener or using it with a different door system, you may need to clear the existing memory. To do this, press and hold the programming button until the LED light on the motor unit blinks or turns off, indicating that the memory has been cleared.
Step 4: Enter Programming Mode To enter programming mode, press and release the programming button. The LED light on the motor unit should blink or stay lit, indicating that the opener is ready for programming.
Step 5: Program the Remote Control a) On the remote control you wish to program, locate the “Learn” or “Program” button. Press and release this button. The LED light on the remote should blink rapidly. b) Within 30 seconds, return to the motor unit and press the same button on the opener that you pressed in Step 4. The LED light on the motor unit should blink or turn off, indicating that the remote has been successfully programmed. Test the remote to ensure it operates the garage door as expected.
Step 6: Program Additional Accessories (Optional)
Keypad: If you have a keypad, follow the instructions in your Genie opener manual to program it. Typically, you will need to enter a PIN or a specific sequence of buttons on the keypad, followed by pressing the “Learn” or “Program” button on the motor unit. Once programmed, test the keypad by entering the PIN and ensuring that it opens or closes the garage door. b) Wall Console: To program a wall console, locate the “Learn” or “Program” button on the console itself. Press and release this button, and within 30 seconds, press the same button on the motor unit. The LED light on the motor unit should blink or turn off, indicating successful programming. Test the wall console to ensure it operates the garage door as intended.

Stand within range of the opener and press the programmed buttons on the remote control or use the keypad and wall console to open and close the garage door. If the door operates smoothly and as expected, the programming process is complete.
