Test the garage door operation after changing the PIN.

Genie garage door openers can be controlled by radio-controlled transmitters and also by a wall-mounted keypad. The keypad can also be wireless. A PIN number (Personal Identification Number) is used to identify authorized access, and the keypad needs to be programmed to recognize that number. PIN codes can be added and changed as necessary. Change the PIN anytime you think privacy may be compromised.

Step 3

Enter your new PIN. It should be a three- to four-digit code. Press "Prog" and the red LED will blink twice per second, and then turn off.

Step 4

Test the door operation. Enter your PIN and then press the arrow button. If the door doesn't move, check the red LED. If the LED is blinking quickly, the PIN was entered incorrectly. Try it again.
