Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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

Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage
door you are programming.
Your vehicle’s engine should be turned
off while

channel, proceed
to Step 2. Otherwise, hold down the
two outside buttons on the universal transmitter until

Hold down both buttons until you see the red light
on the universal transmitter flash slowly and then
rapidly. The rapid flashing, which could take up to

flash rapidly.
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
