Abstract
A learning mode permits a device to register a plurality of transmitters (as part of authorizing such transmitters to act as remote control devices for use with a movable barrier operator ) without necessitating intervening user tactile inputs (as through a user interface keypad ) and without unnecessarily creating a security risk with respect to the duration of the learning mode. In one embodiment, duration of the learning mode is extended in response to detecting indicia that the learning mode continues to be used.
