liner that was already programmed .
.. Watch the LEO@q
page 46, fig. 41. If the
LED blinks quickly, the systems (such as a
garage door) is equipped with a rolling code .
.. Program the rolling code as follows:
Activating the motor unit in a system
.,. Locate the programming button on the sys­
tem's motor unit. The exact location and
color of the button may vary depending on
the brand of the system .
.,. Press the programm ing button on the ga­
rage door opener motor unit (th is w ill usual­

You now have approximately
30 seconds to
program the button in the roof headliner.
Programming the button in the roof
headliner
.,. Press and hold the previously programmed
button in the roof headliner for 2 seconds .
.. To end rolling code programming, press and
ho ld the button again for 2 seconds .
.,. With some systems, the button may need to
be pressed a third time to end the program­
ming process.
After programming, the system should detect
the signal and beg in mov ing when the button
in the roof headliner is pressed. Now you may
program the other buttons as needed.
{D) Tips
-The roll ing code can be programmed
more quickly and more easily with the
help of a second person.
- If you have difficulty programming the
rolling code, referring to the user gu ide
for the system may help.
