You did not list the model number and that would have been better but, there may be a problem with the sending unit on the sensor, the receiver or the power to them from the opener motor unit. You can test for sender failure if they are UV by using your camera phone and look for a purple light coming from it, you can test for output using a voltmeter

contact genie, you may have a defective unit. If you just bought unit remove repackage and return for another one.

try holding down the wall switch while trying to close. if this works and the door closes, then you have misaligned sensors, loose wires on the sensors or a broken sensor wire.

Backwards compatable programming instructions for GT3-R dual-band remote: This is a 3 button remote, which can be used to operate up to 3 garage doors using IntelliCode radio controls. This remote is defaulted to operate the new IntelliCode 2 Genie garage door openers, but you can also program individual buttons to operate other IntelliCode 1 (pre 2011) models of Genie garage door openers made from 1998 to present.

Yes, you purchased the wrong wireless. You must get a Genie keyless and there are two types of Genie keyless (GWKP & GWK-BL) depending on which Genie operator you have. You might think about a wired keyless entry (Domino GD-1). Then if you change your operator you don't have to change your keyless.
