Possible Causes

Damaged or shortened antenna wire, RF interference from LED lights or electronics, Weak remote batteries, Metal cladding shielding signal

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Keep clear of the moving door while testing remotes.

  • Replace remote batteries: Fit new batteries of the correct type in all Garador hand transmitters.
  • Inspect antenna: Locate the receiver antenna wire on the operator. Ensure it is fully extended, not coiled, and not cut short. Route it away from mains cables and metal surfaces.
  • Reduce interference: Temporarily switch off nearby LED lighting, Wi‑Fi routers, or other RF devices to see if range improves. Replace noisy LED lamps with better‑filtered types if necessary.
  • Consider external antenna: In metal garages or where signal is blocked, fit a Garador external antenna kit outside the building for improved reception.
