Possible Causes

Weak remote batteries, Damaged or incorrectly routed Cardale receiver antenna, RF interference from nearby devices, Metal cladding or structure shielding the signal

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not climb or work at height without proper ladders and precautions.

  • Replace remote batteries: Fit new batteries in all remotes and test again.
  • Inspect antenna: Locate the thin antenna wire on the opener head. Ensure it is unbroken, fully extended, and hanging down away from metal surfaces.
  • Relocate opener or antenna: If possible, route the antenna away from steel beams or metal cladding. Some models allow an external antenna extension.
  • Reduce interference: Move or switch off nearby RF sources (Wi‑Fi routers, LED drivers) temporarily to see if range improves.
