Radio Signals for Canada and

For questions or programming help
call 1-800-355-3515 or see

Canadian radio-frequency laws and
some U.S. gate operators require
transmitter signals to time out or quit
after several seconds of
transmission. This may not be long
enough for the Universal Remote
system to pick up the signal during

the following:
Press and hold the Universal
Remote system button while
pressing and releasing the

Universal Remote system indicator
light will flash slowly at first and then

System” to complete.
