Genie intellicode garage door opener

Nothing is blocking the control eyes, but it keeps blinking (three times and pause) like it is blocked. I have to unplug it then plug back in for it to work. now i can't get it to work at all with the remote or the wall button.

  • sparkydonk Feb 19, 2008

    Sorry it took so long to get back. Unplugging it for awhile let it work for a few times, now it seems that when i un-latch the door the control eyes stop blinking like they should but when the door is latched to the track the first time it tries to go down they start blinking again and i have to shut it by hand.

GT3-R -can

This is a dual frequency transmitter. (315/390) You need to select one button to program the TYPE 1 frequency of 390 MHz. Here's how:

Backwards compatable programming instructions for GT3-R dual-band remote: This is a 3 button remote, which can be used to operate up to 3 garage doors using IntelliCode radio controls. This remote is defaulted to operate the new IntelliCode 2 Genie garage door openers, but you can also program individual buttons to operate other IntelliCode 1 (pre 2011) models of Genie garage door openers made from 1998 to present. To change a button to operate a pre 2011 IntelliCode opener, the default IntelliCode 2 setting must be changed to IntelliCode 1. An LED light on the remote displays which mode the remote button is in: Red = IntelliCode 1 / Green = IntelliCode 2 To set one of the 3 buttons to be IntelliCode 1 (red), follow the instructions below:
  1. Select a button on the remote that has not been programmed.
  2. Press and hold that button for 10 seconds. Both Red and Green LEDs come on and stay on.
  3. Press the same button twice to toggle IntelliCode selection from IntelliCode 2 to IntelliCode 1.
  4. Press the same button again to confirm toggle. the LED should be Red. The IntelliCode selection for this button is set to IntelliCode 1.
You are now ready to program the remote to your garage door. Follow accompanying instructions for "Programming to IntelliCode 1 Genie garage door opener," or see below instructions: Programming Instructions: Gently press the Receiver Learn Code button on the power head receiver of your Genie garage door opener (motor head on ceiling in garage). 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. After pressing the Learn Code Button, press your transmitter button twice for your system to grab the frequency and code it in. (Keep the transmitter you're tuning at least 2 feet away from the power head while tuning.) Press the transmitter button once more to test the system and start your door moving.

FOR GENIE GARAGE DOOR OPENER ICA SERIES WITH INTELLICODE REMOTE CONTROL SERIES II ELECTRONICS. PROGRAMED REMOTE FOR NEIGHBORS DOOR, WHRN NO LONGER NEEDED THE ACCESS I RE-PROGRAMED TO MY DOOR. NOW BOTH...

First you want to clear both Garage Door Openers. To clear the openers you need to locate the learn code button. This button is (usually) under the white lens cover just push it and hold it in until the red light stops flashing then do the same thing to your other opener. This clears out all remote controls that are programmed to these openers. Try the remote to make sure the units were properly cleared. Neither opener should activate if this was done correctly. After units are properly cleared push the learn code button on the opener that you want this remote to open. The learn code led will flash, then press the button on the remote once (learn code goes solid), press the remote a second time ( learn code goes out). Press the remote a 3rd time and opener should activate.

How to set acsctg type 2

There is a button on the motor head you can press. Press it then press the button on the remote 3 times and try it. If not try it again. Genies are bad for not coding in the first time. Make sure there are new batteries in it. Thanks BB

Genie Compact 3-Button Remote control will only open 1 door/not 2

On some of the remotes you will find a toggle switch to change frequencies, this might help. Note all new openers are operating on a different frequency than slightly older ones due to military interference. Even though both might be intellicode they might not work together on the same remote. Sometimes some openers are harder to program than others. So lets try to program the harder one. You need to find and press the learn button on the motor head. Then press the button on the remote once. The led light by the learn button should not flash. If so try it over. The light should either stay lit or go out after the first press. If it does press it again and then a third time. If it ever flashes during the program process try again. The third or fourth time the motor should operate. If not you either have a bad remote or more than likely a bed logic board. Thanks BB

Have a 3 Genie remote and the center button works in programming one garage door, but the side buttons will not work to program the other garage door. Can you help?

The other opener has to be a genie, compatible genie to be exact. An older one will not work with new devices. If it will not program it will be the openers fault not the remote. Thanks BB

How do you replace the battery in the genie garage door remote, its the small one

Never could get mine to work...turns out this model only works with Genie garage door openers manufactured in certain years, and mine wasn't one of those years. Bought a GIT model from a Genie garage door installer, and no more problems!
