My M4500 remotes stopped working after a power outage. These instructions worked, all good there. I just wanted to add some symptoms that might further indicate you have lost your pairing. On the interior garage door button: 1. The quick tap to turn on lights was not working. 2. The lighted button was rapid flashing. After re-pairing the remotes, the interior buttons once again behaved normally as well.

Did u know how to link these motor with the homelink sistem of chevrolet ?

[@Garagedoorzone]

There can be different ways to program different makes of vehicles but if your vehicle is equipped with Homelink you can try the following: For first time training, press and hold the two outer HomeLink® buttons in your vehicle, releasing only when the HomeLink indicator light begins to flash after 20 seconds. (Do not perform this step when training the additional HomeLink buttons.) Position the hand-held transmitter 1-3 inches away from the HomeLink surface (usually located on your visor, overhead console, or mirror), keeping the HomeLink indicator light in view. Using both hands, simultaneously press and hold both the desired HomeLink button and hand held transmitter button. DO NOT release until the HomeLink indicator light flashes slowly and then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes rapidly, both buttons may be released. (The rapid flashing indicates successful training.)

Can you explain or make video for synergy 270 1st remote programing

[@Garagedoorzone]

The Synergy 270 video is on our list but it's not complete yet. In the meantime, you can check out our blog post where we explain how to program the first remote into the Synergy garage door opener model. You can find that post on the GarageDoorZone.com website here: www.garagedoorzone.com/Remote-Programming-Instructions-for-Marantec-Synergy-200-Series-Openers_b_9.html

[@annanilssen2344]

I was able to program the first top button but I need a different code for the second door. Do you have instructions on how to code the second door?

[@Garagedoorzone]

I'm not sure what you mean by a different code. Each button on the remote typically has different codes unless they've been changed so both buttons are coded the same and work with the same operator. I'm assuming you have one 2-button remote and two Marantec operators. If that's the case then you can program the top button to one operator and follow the same instructions to program the bottom button to the 2nd operator.

Situation: Bought a house with this type of garage opener. How do I go about reprogramming the remote I received? Thanks!

[@Garagedoorzone]

Sorry but I'm not sure I understand the question. This video shows you how to program a remote to the operator. If you're asking about erasing the code of the remote and programming a new code into the operator then watch this video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rajSlJuAbKhjjrM After you watch that video and change the code on the remote then come back to this video and watch how to program it into the operator with a new code. The old code that was stored in the operator will no longer be active. I hope that answers your question. If not, then feel free to ask a follow up question.

[@danielleridgel1106]

tried your instructions, seemed simple however my lights aren't lighting up like on your video . any suggestions?

[@Garagedoorzone]

The 8 lights on the operator aren't lighting up? There could be an issue with the logic board in the operator if those lights aren't coming on.

[@williamchou2277]

Good video. For me #7 button is flashing but it does not do rapid flashes when I push the remote. very frustrated.

[@Garagedoorzone]

Usually that indicates that the remote is a different frequency than the radio receiver or the radio receiver is bad. Depending on which model of operator you have you should find the receiver in a slot on top of the operator. Make sure that the frequency printed on the back of the remote (and it has to be a Marantec remote) is the same frequency that's printed on the radio receiver. If they're not the same then it won't work. If the frequencies are the same then most likely the receiver is bad. If you have a Synergy model operator or a M4500e or 4700e (note the "e" on the end of the model number) then you can still get a replacement receiver. If you have a model that is older than that then you'll need to add an external radio receiver like the Marantec 75424 Receiver Set. You can watch an installation video we have on that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmemYn6jq6ifqrssi=-UERqKiKgyoBJp8i

[@williamchou2277]

Beautiful. Your description is very precise. I have a M4500e operating at 315MHz. The new remote I purchased was at 304MHz. This resolved my original problem where the new remote does not show rapid flash. Since then I have found one of the original working remote. My question now is how to clone the other remotes(315MHz). Should I use the receiver to set the new remote or use the three prong to copy the code over?

[@Garagedoorzone]

@@williamchou2277 The operator holds the code for ONE remote. If you wish to add additional remotes then you will use the 3-prong programming connector to transfer the code from the programmed remote to the additional remote(s).

[@spikyblueshell80]

I have a PDS 4700. I followed until step 5. I held the remote button and saw the garage head number 7 flashing quickly. I pressed P again. But the remote still didn't open and close the garage door.

[@Garagedoorzone]

Did you confirm that the radio receiver is 315MHz frequency? Is the remote you are trying to program a Marantec branded remote (or is it a generic/knock off brand)? If you do have a 315MHz receiver and Marantec remote then you might want to pull the receiver out, wait a minute, reinstall the receiver and then try programming the remote again.

[@spikyblueshell80]

@@Garagedoorzone yes, I pulled out the receiver and plugged it back in. It does say 315Mhz. The remote I purchased also says 315Mhz. I could actually pair them like when I held the remote button the garage head light (number 7) kept flashing. Then I pressed "P" again to finish. The remote still didn't work afterward.

[@Garagedoorzone]

@@spikyblueshell80 Is it a Marantec brand remote? During the programming, when you get to the #7 it should be blinking slowly and then when you press the remote button does the #7 flash rapidly?

[@spikyblueshell80]

@@Garagedoorzone yes the remote is marantec brand. and it happened like what you said (slow blink then fast blink when I pressed the remote button). Then I pressed P to finalize . The remote still didn't open the garage door. I don't know what I missed.

[@Garagedoorzone]

@@spikyblueshell80 When you press the "P" button to complete the programming do all of the lights illuminate and go out in a circle? Also, check your wall station - is the LED light on the wall station glowing solid or is it slowly blinking?

[@yevgeniymaksimovich8505]

Thanks for your posting! Maranteck opener is not my favorite brand to work with. They are way too complicated and unreliable and im glad they no longer in production.

[@Garagedoorzone]

They are definitely different then most other operators on the market and they are still in production in the US and Europe.

[@DareDiverX]

So no matter what I need I need a remote to program to my car. Any help would be great. Thank you

[@Garagedoorzone]

Yes, if your vehicle is equipped with Homelink then you'll need a working remote to program the vehicle. The Homelink in your vehicle will basically clone the code from the remote. - Brian

[@DareDiverX]

@@Garagedoorzone Roger that. Thank you

[@Granitelion]

Do you have a link to a video on how to program the master with a new code, I have no remotes.

[@Garagedoorzone]

Hi @Granitelion I'm not sure what you mean by "the master". Can you elaborate?

[@Granitelion]

how do you change the code itself to something if you dont' already have it. We bought a house and they don't know what it is. and we have no remotes.

[@Garagedoorzone]

@@Granitelion Sorry I'm still a little confused. Are you talking about the PIN number for a wireless keypad mounted on the outside door jamb? If that's the case and you have a Marantec operator with a 315MHz frequency radio receiver then you'll need a remote that is programmed to the operator in order to program the keypad (that's just how Marantec openers work).

[@Granitelion]

I appreicate the quick response.@@Garagedoorzone Looks like I'll need to make sure it is 315mhz and then order a couple remotes. I thought I could change the 4 digit code from the back of the unit like many other garage doors.

[@Garagedoorzone]

@@Granitelion No problem. You'll find the frequency printed on the radio receiver. If you don't know what model of operator you have you can email some pics to us at [e-mail] and we'll help you out, tell you how to find the receiver and what your options are.

[@poetwarriorrare9489]

i followed the instructions but it didnt work. I bought a house and the owners said they lost the remote, i bought a remote and it had instructions to erase the factory code which I did. So now what do I do. Mine didnt react with 3 lights lit...all the lights lit, then each time i pressed it it rotated one number at a time til I got to 7, then I pressed the remote button but nothing flashed. it is a 315....stuck

[@Garagedoorzone]

Where did you get the remote? Is it a Marantec brand remote or a knock off? Is the radio receiver on the operator 315MHz along with the remote? -Brian

[@poetwarriorrare9489]

its a knock off and yes, both are 315@@Garagedoorzone

[@Garagedoorzone]

People have had issues with the knock off remotes working sometimes. So either there's an issue with the remote you purchased or the radio receiver is not working. You can try pulling the radio receiver out and then pushing it back into the slot. Then try programming the remote again. If the knock off is listed as a replacement for Marantec (and not a "universal" remote) and the light doesn't flicker on the operator then I would lean towards it being a bad receiver.

[@KentWhite985]

I just bought a house with a marantec 4500 garage door opener. I want to change the code so no old remotes that have the old code work. Then reprogram the remotes I have to the new code. How do you do that?

[@Garagedoorzone]

Are you programming brand new remotes that have never been programmed to the operator or are you trying to reprogram old remotes into the operator?

[@KentWhite985]

@@Garagedoorzone I want to change the code on the old remotes to a new code.

[@Garagedoorzone]

The operators only hold one code in their memory so there are 3 ways you can go about changing the code. 1. Program a new remote to the operator. This will knock the old code out & program the new code. 2. Use the 3-prong programming connector to change the code on an existing remote & then program that remote into the operator. You can watch a video on how to do that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rajSlJuAbKhjjrM 3. If the 2nd (or bottom) button on the remote doesn't currently operate the garage door opener then you can program that button into the operator. It will memorize that code and any old codes (remotes) that worked the opener will no longer work. So if you have a 3-prong connector then you can use method #2 but if you don't then use #3. If the bottom button is programmed to the operator then you'll need to get a 3-prong connector or a new remote to change the code.

[@Hajjat]

My car got hijacked and they stole the remote. Does anyone know how to reset the old code so it no longer works?

[@Garagedoorzone]

We have another video that shows you how to change the code on your remote. You can watch the video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/rajSlJuAbKhjjrM

[@sterlinghjones]

Doesn't work for me 🤦🏾‍♂

[@xxl5005]

[@jsharkey5738]

doesnt work for me... of course

[@Garagedoorzone]

Sorry to hear that. If you have a Marantec 315MHz frequency remote and you've confirmed that the operator has a 315MHz frequency radio receiver and the operator won't accept the code of the remote then most likely the radio receiver is bad and needs replaced.
