• Product Description

  The Genie GU4T-BX 4-Button Universal Remote is designed to operate up to four compatible garage door openers or gate receivers from several major manufacturers.

  Each button can be programmed independently, allowing one compact remote to control multiple doors, gates, or opener brands. It supports many popular rolling-code, fixed-code, and learn-button systems manufactured from 1993 forward.

  The compact remote includes both a visor clip and keychain attachment, making it suitable for vehicle, pocket, purse, or backpack use. A rubberized outer edge provides a secure grip, while the four-button layout makes it easy to control multiple compatible systems from one device.

  Compatible Brands and Systems

  The GU4T remote is compatible with select opener systems from the following brands:

  • Genie
  • Overhead Door
  • Chamberlain
  • LiftMaster
  • Craftsman
  • Sommer
  • Linear
  • Wayne Dalton
  • Ryobi
  • Guardian
  • Xtreme Garage
  • Marantec
  • FAAC
  • Stanley

  Compatibility is based on the opener’s frequency, coding technology, production year, and learn-button configuration—not simply the brand name.

  Genie and Overhead Door Compatibility

  The remote supports select:

  • Genie Intellicode 1 systems operating at 315 or 390 MHz
  • Genie Intellicode 2 systems
  • Overhead Door CodeDodger 1 systems operating at 315 or 390 MHz
  • Overhead Door CodeDodger 2 systems
  • Older Genie 390 MHz systems with 9- or 12-position binary DIP switches
  • Older Overhead Door 390 MHz systems with compatible 9-position DIP switches

  Most compatible Genie and Overhead Door rolling-code systems were manufactured from approximately 1995 forward. Older DIP-switch compatibility generally applies to select 1993–1995 systems.

  LiftMaster, Chamberlain and Craftsman Compatibility

  The GU4T supports select LiftMaster, Chamberlain, and Craftsman systems using:

  • Purple Learn Button — Security+ 315 MHz, approximately 2006–2014
  • Orange or Red Learn Button — Security+ 390 MHz, approximately 1996–2005
  • Yellow Learn Button — Security+ 2.0, approximately 2011 forward
  • Green Learn Button — Billion Code 390 MHz, approximately 1993–1995
  • Select older 390 MHz 9-switch, three-position DIP-switch systems

  Yellow Learn Button systems require a special programming sequence different from the standard learn-button procedure.

  Additional Compatible Technologies

  The official Genie compatibility chart includes select:

  • Sommer 310 MHz rolling-code systems
  • Linear 318 MHz MegaCode systems
  • Wayne Dalton 372.5 MHz rolling-code systems
  • Ryobi 372.5 MHz rolling-code systems
  • Guardian 303 MHz fixed learn-code systems
  • Xtreme Garage 303 MHz fixed learn-code systems
  • Marantec 315 MHz fixed learn-code systems
  • FAAC 433.92 MHz rolling-code systems
  • Stanley 310 MHz 10-switch fixed-code systems

  Only the technologies and configurations identified by Genie are supported. A remote is not guaranteed to work with every opener made by a listed manufacturer.

  Important Compatibility Requirements

  This remote must not be used with garage door openers manufactured before 1993.

  The garage door opener must have properly installed and operational photoelectric safety sensors. Do not use this remote to operate an opener with missing, bypassed, damaged, or malfunctioning safety beams.

  Before ordering, identify:

  • Opener manufacturer
  • Complete opener model number
  • Approximate manufacturing year
  • Learn-button color
  • Operating frequency
  • Rolling-code or fixed-code technology
  • Number and position of any original DIP switches
  • Existing remote model number

  Do not order based only on the opener brand.

  Virtual DIP-Switch Compatibility

  The GU4T does not contain physical DIP switches. Compatible remote revisions can reproduce certain fixed-code settings electronically through programmed button presses.

  Genie identifies this as a virtual DIP-switch feature. DIP-switch support requires software version v1.1.4 or later, which is normally marked on the back of the remote.

  For compatible systems, the remote buttons represent the original switch positions:

  • Button 1 represents UP
  • Button 2 represents MIDDLE
  • Button 4 represents DOWN

  The exact programming procedure depends on the original opener’s frequency, number of switches, and switch type.

  Programming Overview

  Each button is programmed separately.

  For most compatible learn-button systems:

  1. Identify the opener brand, frequency, and learn-button type.
  2. Enter the GU4T programming mode.
  3. Select one of the four remote buttons.
  4. Enter the required compatibility ID for the opener.
  5. Press and release the opener’s Learn or Program button for only two to three seconds.
  6. Press the selected remote button as directed until the opener responds.
  7. Test the programmed button.

  Do not hold the opener’s Learn button longer than instructed. Holding it too long may erase existing remotes and wireless keypads from the opener’s memory.

  Important Yellow Learn Button Note

  LiftMaster, Chamberlain, and Craftsman openers with a yellow Learn button require a separate Security+ 2.0 programming procedure.

  The process may require two learn-button activations and two transmissions from the GU4T remote. Follow the Genie GU4T instructions specifically for yellow Learn Button systems rather than using the standard programming method.

  Package Contents

  • One Genie GU4T-series four-button universal remote
  • One CR2032 battery
  • One visor clip
  • One keychain attachment
  • Programming instructions

  Important Matching Notes

  “Universal” does not mean the remote works with every garage door opener.

  Compatibility may be affected by:

  • Opener manufacturing year
  • Learn-button color
  • Radio frequency
  • Receiver type
  • Software generation
  • Fixed-code versus rolling-code technology
  • External receiver equipment
  • Regional opener versions

  For rolling-code systems, Genie states that the remote will not operate brands or technologies absent from its compatibility chart. Fixed-code compatibility outside the published list may sometimes be technically possible when the frequency matches, but Genie does not confirm those untested combinations.

  Safety Warning

  Programming may cause the garage door or gate to move unexpectedly.

  Before programming:

  • Keep people and pets away from the opening
  • Remove vehicles, ladders, tools, and other obstructions
  • Confirm that the door is properly balanced
  • Confirm that all required photoelectric sensors are working
  • Keep the remote away from children

  After programming, test the photoelectric safety system and contact-reversal function. Do not operate an opener with damaged, missing, bypassed, or improperly aligned safety devices.
