How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure you have physical access to the garage before reprogramming remotes, in case the door closes unexpectedly.

Steps to restore remote function:

  • 1. Replace battery: Open the remote case and install a new coin-cell or 12V battery of the correct type. Observe polarity.
  • 2. Confirm compatibility: Check that the remote is designed for your Stanley opener model and frequency (e.g., 310 MHz). Universal remotes must be set to the correct brand and code type.
  • 3. Enter learn mode: On the opener head, press and release the LEARN or RADIO SET button. The indicator LED should light or blink, indicating programming mode.
  • 4. Program remote: Within 30 seconds, press the button on the remote you wish to use. The opener light may flash or click to confirm. Repeat for additional remotes.
  • 5. Test operation: Stand a few feet away and press the remote. If there is still no response, try a different known-compatible remote or consider replacing the receiver module.
