            Troubleshooting Tips

            If your wireless keypad is not working, check the following:

            • Make sure the correct PIN was entered.
            • Replace the batteries if the keypad light does not turn on.
            • Confirm that the keypad is compatible with your opener.
            • Make sure you are close enough to the garage door opener during programming.
            • Clear or reset the keypad, then start the programming process again.
            • Check that the garage door opener has power.
            • Make sure the garage door is not locked or disconnected from the opener.

            If the keypad LED blinks rapidly, the PIN may have been entered incorrectly or there may be a programming error. Wait for the light to stop blinking, then try again.
