Keypad & Transmitter Programming Instructions

GENIE

Model GPWK-12, GWK

(works with transmitters having 9 or 12 personal code setting switches)

This keyless garage door opener entry pad works with Genie transmitters using 390 MHz frequency. It is NOT compatible with Genie Intellicode transmitters. The Door Code in the Step-By-Step Procedure at right is determined by the internal code switches inside your transmitter and the accompanying chart. Determine the settings of the first 3 switches and write down the corresponding number from the chart. Continue with the next 3 switches and its corresponding number, and so on, until the last set of 3 switches. You should have 3 or 4 Door Code numbers.

HOMELINK     IN-CAR PROGRAMMING

To program a built-in-car transmitter to a rolling code garage door opener you should take the following steps.

  1. Clear out anything previously programmed into the in-car system from the factory by holding down on the 2-outside buttons simultaneously, until the in-car red light starts flashing rapidly.  This may take up to a minute.  (In a few cases, some make cars require the keys to be in the ignition, or the car motor must be running, or the car door must be shut)
  2. Decide which button you want to make to be your in-car garage door transmitter.  Hold your transmitter up near the selected button, pressing both the garage door remote and the selected in-car transmitter button simultaneously.  Hold down on the buttons until the in-car, red light flashes rapidly.  this sets the in-car transmitter to be your garage door openers make transmitter, but you are not done.  You now need to make this in-car transmitter your personal transmitter.
  3. Go to the Learn Button on your garage door opener.  The button is usually right next to the area the floppy antenna is connected to the motor head.  With Genie it is most often behind the light lens, and flashes red when pressed.  With Sears or Liftmaster (Chamberlain) it is near, or part of, the terminal screw board.  Press this learn button momentarily.  A red light should start to flash or an amber light will turn on and stay lit.  Go back to the in-car transmitter button you programmed and press this button 3 or 4 times, or until the door starts moving.  This should set your in-car transmitter to your garage door opener.
