US Classification:

340 526, 340 521

Abstract:

A wireless remote control system includes a wireless receiver having a normal operating mode in which the wireless receiver may be actuated by a wireless transmitter programmed to the wireless receiver and a programming mode in which the receiver is placed to learn a new wireless transmitter and programming information for the new transmitter is sent to the wireless receiver. Programming a wireless transmitter to the wireless receiver includes actuating the receiver with an existing transmitter already programmed to the receiver, and repeating the actuation of the receiver in a predetermined sequence. In response to the receiver receiving the predetermined sequence of actuations, the receiver enters the programming mode. Programming information for the new transmitter is sent to the receiver, and the receiver programs the new transmitter to the receiver.
