Genie Remote

Beware of buying a Genie remote on another site like eBay, where you don't know the seller. Make sure to buy your Genie remote from the trusted experts directly because they make the opener, and can answer any questions that you might have. The Genie remote is not something that can duplicate, and therefore it is best to get answers directly from Genie. The Genie Intellicode remote is one the most popular remotes from Genie today. The Intellicode Genie remote is noted for being simple to use with one button operation, and is compatible with any Intellicode that was manufactured after 1995. It is very easy to program and in addition it has good range and sensitivity. What this means, is that the remote can be used from quite a distance from the opener and it will be detected with no problem. The other convenient quality of this Intellicode is that it runs on a battery, and has a visor clip so that you can keep it close by to you while in the car. The instructions are easy to follow, but just make sure that you read them all the way through!

If there is any question as to whether or not the opener you have is compatible with your Genie remote, then be sure to check out the compatibility chart that Genie offers for your convenience. If that doesn't answer your question, then you can certainly pick up the phone and call with the specific details on your Genie remote. Genie is more than happy to answer any of your questions. Genie offers such a wide variety of remotes; they also want to be sure that they are answering your questions on the right one. Your Genie remote may be compatible with more than one product so be sure to have your information handy. Genie does not make a universal remote because they felt it was too complicated. The universal remote has too many frequencies to run off of and may require multiple power units. The average consumer would struggle trying to use a universal remote in this case. A garage opener is very different from operating a universal remote with a television.

If you have an old Intellicode, it may or may not be compatible with your Genie remote. Any remotes that were manufactured after 1996 should be compatible with your new Intellicode remote. The Genie remote can be upgraded if it's an older remote so if you aren't sure just ask. Remotes that were manufactured prior to 1996 only have one frequency, so multiple codes would not work on the older platforms. The typical range on your Genie remote is 150 feet, but many customers have discovered that their remote works at a longer distance and picks up very well in the area. This is just another reason why the Genie remote is the preferred remote for your garage door.
