METHOD OF PROGRAMMING A WIRELESS TRANSMITTER TO A WIRELESS RECEIVER
First Claim
1. A method of programming a wireless transmitter to a wireless receiver in a wireless remote control system, the 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, the method comprising:
- actuating the receiver with an existing transmitter already programmed to the receiver;
repeating the actuation of the receiver in a predetermined sequence;
in response to the receiver receiving the predetermined sequence of actuations, the receiver entering the programming mode;
sending programming information for the new transmitter to the receiver; and
the receiver programming the new transmitter to the receiver.

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.
