ABSTRACT:
A control device11for use with another device (such as a movable barrier operator12) has multiple memory interfaces26and27to permit the contents of one memory to be copied to another memory to thereby create an effective clone of the first memory. This copied memory is easily removable from the control device11and thereafter stored separately as a back-up memory or used as the main memory in another control device11. This effectively avoids a need for more tedious registration of authorized remote control transmitters in systems where the control device11interfaces with a movable barrier operator12. In one embodiment, blocking information as corresponds to any of the otherwise registered transmitters can also be copied to the new memory when effecting this process.
