5 To answer your question about the missing dip switches and learn button: Genie sometimes has some of the strangest configurations I've seen. They aren't usually looked upon too favorably by installers because they can be so confusing/annoying at times. In order to program remotes, however, there has to be dip switches or a learn button located somewhere in connection to the unit. If you are absolutely certain they are not anywhere on the unit itself there is only a couple other possibilities... (1) the actual receiver has been mounted somewhere other than with the unit and then was wired into the unit - it may be on the ceiling or on a wall. (2) on some odd models the circuitry to program a remote is found inside the wall station that you press to open the door without thte remote - you take the wall station off the wall and it's in behind it.

0 For the 404 you either need a digital control box or, do what I did and get a smart button and keychain remote, *with a wall plugin.* be sure it has a plug in (12v 100ma) or it won't work. Hook the smart button to th bell wire and plug it in. Program your keychain remote and enjoy not having that old bulky remote to lug around.
