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.
