When a new key fob is added to the system, it will send its serial number as well as the current counter for synchronization to the receiver while in a learning mode. The receiver stores this information in memory and ends the learning mode. The key fob will use the decryption key that was previously stored and the synchronization counter to authenticate the signal when it is used again.
