remote programming instructions for marantec m4500 and m4700 openers
About the M4500 and M4700 Marantec Openers
Programming a remote for a Marantec opener can be difficult without instructions. Below you will find the instructions for programming one remote into the model M4500 and M4700 Marantec garage door operators. We will go through each step that you need to follow in order to program the Marantec remote into your Marantec opener.
Important Note: You'll only use the following instructions if you don't have any remotes currently programmed into the operator. The reason for this is that the Marantec radio receiver can only hold the code from one remote. The code of the programmed remote is copied using a programming connector to any additional remotes you wish to add. You'll find a short instructional video here that will explain how to use the programming connector to transfer the code from the programmed remote to an additional remote.
Opener Programming Buttons
Here's a rundown on how to program one remote into a Marantec M4500 or M4700 model opener using the red buttons found on the opener powerhead (motor unit) mounted on the ceiling.
If you look at the underside of the operator you will three red buttons labeled "+", "-" and "P". These three buttons along with the 8 circular red LED lights next to these buttons are what will be used during the programming process.

Instructions to Program A Remote
- Press and hold the "P" button for approximately 2 seconds. When all LED lights illuminate and LED #2 begins to blink, release the button. You are now ready to set or change the desired adjustment.
- Press and release the "P" button until the #7 LED is illuminated.
- LED #7 should now be blinking. The opener can now learn the code of the remote transmitter. While the #7 LED is blinking, press and hold the button on the remote transmitter.
- When you see LED #7 flashing rapidly, you can release the transmitter button. The opener has now learned the code of this remote.
- Press and release the "P" button. This will store the code in the memory of the radio receiver. It also completes the adjustment setting and program process. The LED lights will automatically fade out in a circular pattern, which indicates that the program mode is complete.
- LED #8 should now be illuminated, and the opener is ready for operation.
- Test the remote by pressing the programmed remote button and the operator should open or close the garage door.
Programming Additional Remotes
The above instructions will program one remote to the operator's memory. If you wish to add more remotes to the operator then you'll need to use a New Programming Connector to transfer the code from the programmed remote to the additional remote(s). You can watch a short video here that will show you how to transfer the code from the programmed remote to the additional remote.
Purchasing Compatible Remotes and Keypad
If you have one of the older model remotes M3-2312, M3-3313 or M3-2314 or one of the newer 382 Digital Remotes then you can purchase the compatible 382 Digital Remote here and the compatible M13-631 Wireless Keyless Entry here. Other repair parts for the M4500 and M4700 operators can be found here.
Watch the helpful programming video below to show you step-by-step instructions for programming the first remote into the M4500 or M4700 operators.

Hello, I have a Marantec m4500 garage opener. Can you tell me the cause of my transmitter not programming. The remote has a new battery and the red light shows when you press the button. I followed the instructions above and when I get to this step, the light is not flashing rapidly. "When you see LED #7 flashing rapidly, you can release the transmitter button. The opener has now learned the particular code of this transmitter" The wall opener works. I only have one garage door opener remote. Thank you kindly, Sylvia

Hi, I have a marantec m4500 garage door opener and a new marantec exterior remote opener m13-631. I have tried doing everything on the instructions to program it but I haven’t had any success. I was having the same problem with the old remote and I thought buying a new one would solve my problem! My regular remote for the car works fine. Thanks

Programming remote troubleshoot I just moved into a new home and the remotes for the garage door Maranta 4500 do not work. I followed the programming instructions, which all seemed t work, but the remote still does not open the door. All the lights blink according each of the programming steps. Any ideas?

We have gone through the reprogramming of our Marantec 4500 using the instruction manual. Even after setting the up/down limits it doesn’t seem to “remember”. It doesn’t even remember when we open and close it twice to help it learn. Any advice?

Hi, there is nothing happen, gara open and close normally, but the light bulb keeps flashing so annoying. I'm using marantec 4500. How can I stop the light bulb flashing with flickering noise stop when the gara is opening. Thanks

I bought a Marantec remote with 4 buttons thinking I can also use the remote as a universal remote for the gate to enter our community. Can I do so?

I’m having trouble pairing a new keyless entry pad that is a non marantec model, but is universal. Is it possible to do, or does it have to be a marantec model?
Brian
No, "universal" keypads are not compatible with Marantec operators. You would need a Marantec keypad.

Can you tell me how to pair my Toyota 4runner to our 260 garage door opener?
Brian
Every vehicle is a little different. If your vehicle is equipped with Homelink then we suggest that you visit their website where they have instructions for different makes of operators and vehicles. You can find their website here: https://homelink.com/program/vehicle

I have the same problem as Sylvia from the 1st comment post. I also have a Marantec m4500 garage opener. The remote has a new battery and the red light shows when you press the button. I followed the instructions above and when I get to this step, the light is not flashing rapidly. The wall opener works. I only have one garage door opener remote.

You can try pulling the radio receiver out & putting it back in and then try programming the remote again. If it still won't program to the operator then the receiver is probably bad. If that's the case, and you have a 315MHz frequency remote (which it sounds like you do) then you would need to add a new radio receiver. You can use the Marantec 75424RC Receiver here: https://www.garagedoorzone.com/75424RC-Marantec-Garage-Door-Opener-Radio-Receiver-Only_p_61.html You can watch a short video on how to install it here: https://youtu.be/H6C1KmvCltY

I have a Moran tech 4500. It will not close unless you hold. The keypad button in the remote won’t close it. Nothing tried everything they open it, but it will not close without holding the keypad button. Any ideas?
Brian
If you have to hold your finger on the wall button to close then door then that's an indication that there's an issue with the safety sensors at the bottom of the door. They could be dirty (clean them off), they could be out of alignment (realign the sensors) or they've failed (replace the sensors).

Hi! I want to connect my garage door opener to my Honda CR-V button. How do I do that?

Is there a way to connect the 4500 to the myQ smart garage controller? The smart garage opener needs a learning button to learn the opener. I understand the P button might be the “learner” button but it would only pair one remote each time. Any clue?
Brian
No, it's not compatible and there is no "learn" button on the Marantec garage door operators like there is on other operators.
