Programming Genie Intellicode Remote Transmitters

1. Press the Receiver Learn Code button on the power head receiver of your door operator. This small, black, unmarked button is located behind the light lens at the motor head and is nearest the floppy 6 inch antenna wire that protrudes from the motor head. When pressed, a radio signal indicator light will start blinking red for 30 seconds. **
2. After pressing the Learn Code Button once, press your transmitter button three times for your system to grab the frequency and code it in. (Keep the transmitter you want tuned at least 2 feet away from the power head while tuning.)
3. Press the transmitter button once more to test the system and start your door moving.

**To erase all Intellicode remotes and wireless keyless entry, hold down on the learn button until the indicator light stops blinking, then proceed to Step 2.

Programming Digital Remote Transmitters with Internal Set Switches

These transmitters work by matching the settings on the internal code setting switches with the same set of switches in the receiver on the garage ceiling. The receiver is located either behind the light lens of the Genie garage door opener motor head, or inside an external small rectangular box on the ceiling, which is connected to the motor head by a set of wires. Note: the frequency of the transmitter must be the same frequency as the receiver on the ceiling for it to work. Genie has been making the 390 MHz frequency exclusively for the last 15 years.

Programming Multi-Button Digital Remotes with Internal Set Switches

These garage door opener transmitters have 2 smaller switches to the right of the internal Code Setting Switches. The small right switch should be set according to how many Code Setting Switches in your receiver (either 9 or 12). The small left switch is for programming purposes. To program a button for one of your doors, follow the instructions below:

1. First, match the settings on the Internal Code Setting Switches with the same set of switches in the receiver on the garage ceiling, as described in the previous programming instructions.
2. Next, move the small programming switch to 'S' (for SET) and press the transmitter button you wish to have assigned to the above door.
3. Last, return the programming switch to 'R' (for RUN) and press the assigned transmitter button to test the door and start the door moving. Follow the same procedure for each additional door you wish to program.

Installation of Genie GIC390 Intellicode Receiver

Terminals labeled 1, 2 and 3 on the Receiver are connected to their corresponding terminals on the garage door opener Power Head labeled 1, 2 and 3. Color coded wires correspond as follows: White = 1, Black = 2, Red = 3. (Wiring connections inside the GIC receiver plastic cover are as follows: Red = 1, Black = 2, White = 3. Note that these wire connections are in a different order than the connections to the motor head.)

Installation of Genie GIC390 Receiver Using 24 VAC Power Pak

Installations using a Power Pak plug-in will connect the two terminals on the power pack to terminals 1 and 3 on the receiver, color coded white and red. The receiver's white wire (1) also connects to terminal 1 on the Garage Door Opener Power Head. The receiver's remaining black wire (2) connects to terminal 2 on the Power Head.
