Your manual is not available in a pdf file either, sorry. During this time openers were making the transition from manual set codes to billion and rolling codes. If there is not any dip switches on the motor head then there will be a learn button. It has to have one or the other unless the unit is using an external receiver. There will be two bell wires coming out of a plugged in plastic box.

If there are dip switches make them match. If this does not work and the batteries are good you either need a new remote or a logic board.

If there is a colored learn button then you need to set the desired dip switch positions press and release the learn button and then the button on the remote. If this does not work press the remote button and the learn button at the same time. If this does not work and the battery is good then you will need a new remote or a new logic board.

This is a great place to go for advice, especially if you're low on funds and you could resolve the problem before calling and paying a service call, if it's an easy fix. I'm glad you are there for me.
