Erase all remotes

  1. Press and hold the LEARN button on the opener motor unit.
  2. Keep holding for about 6 seconds until the LEARN LED goes out.
  3. All remotes and keypads are now erased; reprogram the ones you want to keep.

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.
