Remote controls have very short range or only work when very close to the Linear opener.

Safety first: Disconnect power before repositioning the antenna inside the housing.

• 1. Replace remote batteries: Install fresh batteries in all Linear remotes and test range again.
• 2. Inspect antenna: Ensure the opener’s antenna wire is fully extended downward and not wrapped around metal brackets or tucked inside the cover.
• 3. Reduce interference: Temporarily turn off or move nearby devices such as LED shop lights, Wi‑Fi routers, or battery chargers to see if range improves.
• 4. Reposition opener or add external antenna: In metal buildings, consider routing the antenna through a non-metallic opening or using a Linear-compatible external antenna kit.
• 5. If range remains poor: The RF receiver section of the control board may be weak; replacing the board or adding an external receiver can restore normal range.
