Possible Causes
Damaged or shortened antenna wire, RF interference from LED bulbs or electronics, Weak remote battery, Failing RF receiver circuit
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Keep clear of the door while testing remote operation.
Check remote:
- Replace the remote battery with a new, correct type (often CR2032 or similar).
- Ensure the remote case is intact and the button is not sticking.
Inspect antenna:
- Verify the antenna wire on the Decko opener is fully extended downward and not wrapped around metal brackets.
- If the antenna is broken or missing, replace or repair it according to the model’s parts list.
Reduce interference:
- Temporarily turn off nearby LED bulbs, Wi-Fi devices, or other electronics to see if range improves.
- Replace noisy LED bulbs with ones rated as garage-door-opener compatible.
If range remains poor with a good antenna and new remote battery, the RF receiver on the logic board may be failing.
