GENERAL PROGRAMMING
What are the requirements to program ARQ™ remote control to my garage door opener or gate operator?
- You need to be near your garage door opener or gate operator to program the ARQ™ remote control.
- Make sure your garage door opener or gate operator is compatible.
- The garage door opener or gate operator MUST have a Program/LEARN button or switches.
- If your garage door opener or gate operator has switches you MUST use a smartphone or tablet to download the ARQ™ Universal Remote Control app.
- In some cases you may need a second person to assist with programming.
- In some cases you may need a ladder.
Can I use another universal remote control for programming assistance?
Unfortunately there is no way to identify how your previous universal remote control has been configured. You will need to identify if your product has a Program/LEARN button or switches then follow the programming instructions.
How do I program the additional buttons on the ARQ™ remote control?
The remote control is capable of controlling up to 3 individual products (garage door opener, gate operator or light controls). Choose a different button and follow the programming steps.
What do the different states of the LED mean?
A solid LED means ARQ™ remote control is in programming mode. A flashing LED means that ARQ™ remote control is sending a signal.
My ARQ™ remote control is activating two garage door openers at the same time.
This is rare but it is possible to have one button on the ARQ™ remote control activate multiple garage door openers or gate operators at the same time. You will need to erase the memory of the garage door opener or gate operator you do NOT want the ARQ™ remote control to activate. Refer to your garage door opener or gate operator manual for instructions on how to erase the memory.
Does ARQ™ remote control need a compatibility bridge?
No, it does not need a compatibility bridge.
Can I control an alarm system with the ARQ™ remote control?
