Marantec Opener: Model M4500 & M4700
Remote Programming Instructions for Marantec M4500 and M4700 Openers

Programming a remote for a Marantec opener can be difficult without instructions. Below are instructions on programming a garage door remote to the Marantec model M4500 and model M4700 garage door openers.
We will go through each step you need to do in order to program the
Marantec remote to your Marantec opener. You'll only use the
instructions if you don't have any other remotes programmed to the
operator. The reason for this is because the Marantec opener radio
receiver can only hold the code of one remote. Additional remotes copy
the code of the one programmed remote so if you already have a remote that works with the opener then you should watch our video on transferring a code from one remote to another.
Here's a rundown on how to program a remote into a M4500 or M4700 Marantec opener by using the buttons on the opener powerhead (motor unit) mounted on the ceiling:
You will program the remote into the opener by using the "+", "-", and "P" buttons on the opener powerhead. If you look up at the powerhead you should see 8 numbered red LED lights. You should also see 3 red buttons: "+" button, "-" button and "P" button. Here is a diagram of what the buttons and lights look like:

To Program A Remote:
- Press and hold the "P" button for approximately 2 seconds. When
all LEDs 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 be blinking. The opener can now learn the code
of the hand-held transmitter. While LED#7 is blinking, press and
hold the button on the transmitter - When you see LED #7 flashing rapidly, you can release the transmitter button. The
opener has now learned the particular code of this transmitter - Once the opener has successfully received the code from the
transmitter, press and release the "P" button. This stores the
code in memory. It also completes the adjustment setting
sequence, and completes the program process. The LEDs 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.
