PROGRAMMING OF PAIRED AUTHORIZATION CODES IN WIRELESS TRANSMITTER AND BARRIER OPERATOR PRIOR TO USE BY END USER
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- manufacturing a barrier opening system comprising a barrier operator, and at least one wireless transmitter for wirelessly transmitting commands to the barrier operator;
prior to delivery of the barrier opening system to an end user, programming an authorization code into the at least one wireless transmitter;
prior to delivery of the barrier opening system to the end user, placing the barrier operator into a learn mode;
prior to delivery of the barrier opening system to the end user, transmitting the authorization code to the barrier operator while the barrier operator is in the learn mode, using a transmitter external to the barrier opening system;
prior to delivery of the barrier opening system to the end user, causing the barrier operator to exit the learn mode; and
prior to delivery of the barrier opening system to the end user, packaging the barrier operator together the at least one wireless transmitter.

Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method including manufacturing a barrier opening system comprising a barrier operator, and at least one wireless transmitter for wirelessly transmitting commands to the barrier operator. Prior to delivery of the barrier opening system to an end user, an authorization code is programmed into the at least one wireless transmitter. Also prior to delivery of the barrier opening system to the end user, the barrier operator is placed into a learn mode. The authorization code is then transmitted to the barrier operator while the barrier operator is in the learn mode, using a transmitter external to the barrier opening system. The barrier operator then exits the learn mode. The barrier operator is thereafter packaged together the at least one wireless transmitter.
