of most current transmitters and is powered
by your
vehicle's battery and charging system.
This device complies with Part
15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference,
and
(2) this device must accept any interference

Changes and modifications to this system by other than
an authorized service facility could void authorization to
use this equipment.
Programming the Transmitter
Do not use the universal transmitter with any garage
door opener that does not have the “stop and reverse”
safety feature. This includes any garage door opener
model manufactured before April
1, 1982.
Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage
door
you are programming. Your
vehicle’s ignition should be on and the engine
should be off while programming the transmitter. Follow
these steps to program up to three channels:
1. If you have previously programmed a transmitter
channel, proceed to Step
2. Otherwise, hold down
the two outside buttons on the universal transmitter
until the indicator light begins to flash rapidly
(approximately
20 seconds). Then release the
buttons. This procedure initializes the memory and
erases any previous settings for all three channels.
2. Decide which one of the three channels you want
to program.
3. Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter about one
inch
(2.5 cm) away from the rear surface of the
mirror
so that you can still see the indicator light.

button and the desired button on the universal
transmitter. Continue to hold both buttons
through Step
5.
light on the universal transmitter flash slowly and
then rapidly. The rapid flashing, which could take up
to
90 seconds, indicates that the universal transmitter
has been programmed. Release both buttons once the
light starts to flash rapidly.
5. Hold down both buttons until you see the indicator
If you have trouble programming the universal
transmitter, make sure that you have followed the
directions exactly as described and that the battery in the
hand-held transmitter is not dead. If you still cannot
program it, rotate the hand-held transmitter end over end
and
try again. The universal transmitter may not work
with older garage door openers that do not meet current
Federal Consumer Safety Standards.
If you cannot
program the transmitter after repeated attempts, consult
the manufacturer of the unit at 1-800-335-3515. Be sure
to keep the original hand-held transmitter
in case
you need to erase and reprogram the universal transmitter.
Note to Canadian Owners: During programming, the
hand-held transmitter may stop transmitting after one or
two seconds. If you are programming from one of these
transmitters,
you should press and re-press the button on
the hand-held transmitter every
two seconds without ever
releasing the button on the universal transmitter.
You may
have to repeat
this step several times while programming.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Operating the Transmitter
Press and hold the appropriate button on the universal
transmitter. The indicator light comes on while the
signal is being transmitted.
Note that the effective transmission range of the
universal transmitter may differ from your hand-held
transmitter and from one channel to another.
Also note that if the hand-held transmitter appears to
program the universal transmitter but does not open
your garage door, and if the garage door opener was
manufactured after
1995, the garage door opener may
have a “rolling code” system.
A rolling code system
changes the code of the garage door opener every time
you open or close the garage door.
To determine if you have this system, press the button
on the universal transmitter that you have programmed
already. If the indicator light on the universal transmitter
flashes rapidly for one
or two seconds and then stops
flashing, the garage door opener has a rolling code
system. In a rolling code system, the garage door
receiver must be trained to the universal transmitter.
Training a Garage Door Opener with
“Rolling
Codes” (If Equipped)
If you have not previously programmed the hand-held
transmitter to the universal transmitter, see “Programming the Transmitter” earlier in this section.
If
you have completed this programming already, you now
need to train the garage door opener receiver to
recognize the universal transmitter. Refer
to your garage
door opener owner’s manual for the proper transmitter
training procedure for your garage door opener brand.
1.
2.
Locate the training button on the garage door opener
receiver. The exact location and color of the button
may vary by garage door opener brand. If you have
difficulty locating the training button, refer to your
garage door opener manual.
Press the training button on the garage door opener
receiver for one or
two seconds. An indicator light will
begin to flash when the receiver enters the
train mode.

press the universal transmitter button you have already
programmed for
two to three seconds. Press the button
again to make sure that the universal transmitter has
been trained to the garage door opener receiver. Check that the training
was successful. The receiver light
should no longer be
flashing.
The garage door opener should now recognize the
universal transmitter. You may either use the universal
transmitter or the hand-held transmitter to open the
garage door.
If after following these instructions you still have
problems training the garage door opener, consult
your dealer.
Erasing Channels
To erase all three programmed channels, hold down the
two outside buttons until the indicator light begins to
flash. Individual channels cannot be erased, but can be
reprogrammed using the procedure for programming the
transmitter explained earlier.
Accessories
Accessories for the universal transmitter are available
from the manufacturer
of the unit. If you would like
additional information, please call
1-800-355-35 15.
