The DIP switches are numbered 1 through 9. > Figure: Step drawing showing an opened transmitter and a downward arrow. Inset detail shows a screwdriver near the DIP switches. Label: “Open transmitter to access DIP switches”. > **IMPORTANT:** > If you change the DIP switches in the original transmitter refer to **Program New Transmitter Setting to Gate Opener’s Memory** section below. ## Instructions for replacing a lost entry transmitter If you are replacing a lost transmitter and you know or have your original transmitter’s DIP switch setting written down, set the new transmitter DIP switches to that setting and it is ready to activate your gate opener. If you don’t know the DIP switch setting from your original transmitter, you will need to select a new setting. ### Personalize your Transmitter Setting There are nine (9) DIP switches, each of which can be placed in three different positions (+,0,-). DO NOT set all switches in the same position, such as all +, all -, or all zeros. ### Program New Transmitter Setting to Gate Opener’s Memory Some gate openers are programmed with a LEARN REMOTE or LEARN TRANSMITTER button and some with the ON/OFF switch. Refer to your Gate Opener’s Installation Manual for instructions on how to program the transmitter to your gate opener. > Figure: Opened transmitter with arrow pointing to its DIP switches; enlarged nine-switch detail numbered 1 through 9. > Figure: Three programming illustrations separated by “+” and “or”: a hand pressing a transmitter button; a gate opener control board with arrows pointing to buttons labeled “LEARN RMT” and “LEARN MAST LIMIT”; and a hand moving an “ON/OFF” switch.

A GTO Universal Receiver (RB709U-NB) is required for use with garage door openers. ## Instructions for adding additional entry transmitter(s) If you already have a **Two Button** transmitter that operates your gates and are simply adding an additional **Two Button** transmitter, set the DIP switches in the new transmitter to match the DIP switches in your original transmitter, reassemble the transmitters and you are done. ### If you are matching your two button transmitter to a single button transmitter follow these steps: 1. Match the eight DIP switches found in the dual button transmitter to the first eight DIP switches in the single button transmitter. 2. The ninth DIP switch on the single button transmitter cannot be in the lowest position (-); it must be changed to the upper (+) or middle (0) position at this time. 3. If the ninth DIP switch is set to the upper position (+) the left hand button will be used to send the same code when using the dual button remote. 4. If the ninth DIP switch is set to the middle position (0) the right hand button will be used to send the same code when using the dual button remote. 5. If you change the ninth DIP switch in the original transmitter refer to **Program New Transmitter Setting to Gate Opener’s Memory** section below. > Figure: Two DIP-switch diagrams and open transmitter housings. The left diagram is labeled “ORIGINAL SINGLE BUTTON TRANSMITTER” and shows switches numbered 1 through 9. The right diagram is labeled “NEW TWO BUTTON TRANSMITTER” and shows switches numbered 1 through 8. Arrows point from each DIP-switch diagram to its respective open transmitter circuit board. > Figure: Drawing of a transmitter being opened. A downward arrow indicates removing the top cover. Label: “Open transmitter to access DIP switches.” > Figure: Drawing of the closed two-button transmitter. An arrow points to the left button with the label: “Left button activates the same device as a single button transmitter with 9th DIP switch in the upper (+) position.” An arrow points to the right button with the label: “Right button activates the same device as a single button transmitter with 9th DIP switch in the middle (0) position.” ## Instructions for replacing a lost entry transmitter If you are replacing a lost transmitter and you know or have your original transmitter’s DIP switch setting written down, set the new transmitter DIP switches to that setting and it is ready to activate your gate opener. If you don’t know the DIP switch setting from your original transmitter, you will need to select a new setting. ### Personalize your Transmitter Setting There are eight (8) DIP switches, each of which can be placed in three different positions (+,0,-). DO NOT set all switches in the same position, such as all +, all -, or all zeros. ### Program New Transmitter Setting to Gate Opener’s Memory Some gate openers are programmed with a LEARN REMOTE or LEARN TRANSMITTER button and some with the ON/OFF switch. Refer to your Gate Opener’s or Universal Receiver’s Installation Manual for instructions on how to program the transmitter to that device. > Figure: Illustration sequence showing a hand pressing a transmitter button, followed by a gate opener control board or an ON/OFF switch. A plus sign appears between the transmitter and control-board illustrations; “or” appears between the control-board and ON/OFF-switch illustrations. Control-board readable labels include: “STATUS,” “LEARN RMT,” “LEARN MAST LIMIT,” “S3,” “S2,” “ON,” “OFF,” “SOFT START OFF,” “WARNING OFF,” “OPEN PULL,” “SLV OPEN DLY.,” “MODE1 OFF,” “MODE2 OFF,” “PUSH,” “SIMULT.,” “120 MIN MAX,” “AUTO CLOSE TIME,” “STALL FORCE,” and “ON/OFF.” > Figure: Open transmitter circuit board with an inset DIP-switch diagram numbered 1 through 8.

Label: “Reassemble the transmitter when finished.” **NOTE:** If the red light on the transmitter is dim or flickers when the transmitter button is pushed, the transmitter battery may be weak. Replace when necessary with a A23S 12 Volt battery. # ONE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY Your GTO® Accessory is warranted by the manufacturer against defects in materials and manufacturer workmanship for a period of one (1) year from date of purchase, provided the recommended installation procedures have been followed.
