The garage door opener is fixed and rolling code capable. Rolling code is a system that allows the code that the customers receiver receives from the garage door opener to change every time the garage door opener is used within operating range of the receiver. Rolling code programming requires the customer to push a learn/program button on the garage door opener receiver at their home. This button is usually located on the receiver unit under a cover (light cover) on one end of the unit. The customer must follow the garage door opener manufacturers instructions to program/learn the receiver to accept the Universal Home Remote System as an authorized opener for their unit. When the receiver and the garage door opener are initially programmed together, a code is established and a new code is created for every new transmission. The software in the receiver recognizes the garage door opener and accepts the new code.

The garage door opener is compatible with most, but not all types and brands of transmitters. If a problem should occur with a compatibility conflict with a transmitter, refer to 1-866-572-2728 (in the United States).

The garage door opener is a transmitter operating between 288-399 MHz. The power and range of the transmitter is limited to comply with laws governing the generation of radio frequency interference. The transmitter is programmed by the user to accept the signal generated by the user's transmitters.

The garage door opener has 3 buttons that may be programmed for individual transmitter/receiver combinations to control up to 3 garage door openers, security gates, lighting systems, etc. Each button represents a transmitter code section of the transmitter, which operates separately from any other button, and may be considered a separate transmitter. Operation consists of simply pressing a button to activate the corresponding transmitter.
