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.
