Programming Digital Remote Transmitters with Internal Set Switches
These transmitters work by matching the settings on the internal code setting switches with the
same set of switches in the receiver on the garage ceiling. The receiver is located either behind
the light lens of the Genie garage door opener motor head, or inside an external small rectangular
box on the ceiling, which is connected to the motor head by a set of wires. Note: the frequency of
the transmitter must be the same frequency as the receiver on the ceiling for it to work. Genie has
been making the 390 MHz frequency exclusively for the last 15 years.
Programming Multi-Button Digital Remotes with Internal Set Switches
These garage door opener transmitters have 2 smaller switches to the right of the internal Code
Setting Switches. The small right switch should be set according to how many Code Setting
Switches in your receiver (either 9 or 12). The small left switch is for programming purposes. To
program a button for one of your doors, follow the instructions below:
First, match the settings on the Internal Code Setting Switches with the
same set of switches in the receiver on the garage ceiling, as described
in the previous programming instructions.
2. Next, move the small programming switch to 'S' (for SET) and press the
transmitter button you wish to have assigned to the above door.
3. Last, return the programming switch to 'R' (for RUN) and press the
assigned transmitter button to test the door and start the door moving.
Follow the same procedure for each additional door you wish to program.

Installation of Genie GIC390 Intellicode Receiver
Terminals labeled 1, 2 and 3 on the Receiver are connected to their corresponding terminals on
the garage door opener Power Head labeled 1, 2 and 3. Color coded wires correspond as follows:
White = 1, Black = 2, Red = 3. (Wiring connections inside the GIC receiver plastic cover are as
follows: Red = 1, Black = 2, White = 3. Note that these wire connections are in a different order
than the connections to the motor head.)

HOMELINK IN-CAR REMOTE PROGRAMMING
INSTRUCTIONS
To program a built-in-car transmitter to a rolling code
garage door opener (Genie rolling code is called
Intellicode, LiftMaster/Sears is called Security plus), you
should take the following steps.
Clear out anything previously programmed into the in-car system from
the factory by holding down on the 2-outside buttons simultaneously,
until the in-car red light starts flashing rapidly. This may take up to a
minute. (In a few cases, some make cars require the keys to be in the
ignition, or the car motor must be running, or the car door must be shut)
2. Decide which button you want to make to be your in-car garage door
transmitter. Hold your transmitter up near the selected button, pressing
both the garage door remote and the selected in-car transmitter button
simultaneously. Hold down on the buttons until the in-car, red light
flashes rapidly. This sets the in-car remote transmitter to be your
garage door openers make transmitter, but you are not done. You now
need to make this in-car transmitter your personal transmitter.
3. Go to the Learn Button on your garage door opener. The button is
usually next to the area where the floppy antenna is connected to the
motor head. With Genie it is most often behind the light lens, and an
indicator light flashes red when pressed. With Sears or LiftMaster
(Chamberlain) it is near, or part of, the terminal screw board, and is a
red, green or purple square button with a green, amber or
purple indicator light. Press this learn button momentarily. The
indicator light will turn on and blink if Genie or otherwise stay lit. Go
back to the in-car transmitter button you programmed and press this
1.
button 3 or 4 times, or until the door starts moving. This should set your
in-car transmitter to your garage door opener.
