2-65 Programming the Transmitter
Do not use the universal transmitter with any garage
door opener that does not have the ªstop and reverseº
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 engine should be turned 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 (after
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. Hold the end of the hand
-held transmitter
about 2 to 5 inches (5 to 13 cm) away from the
surface of the universal transmitter so that you can
still see the indicator light.3. Using both hands, press the hand
-held transmitter
button and the desired button on the universal
transmitter. Continue to press both buttons through
Step 4.
4. Hold down both buttons until you see the red light
on the universal transmitter flash rapidly. The rapid
flashing indicates that the universal transmitter has
been programmed. Release both buttons once the
light starts 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, refer to
ªTraining a Garage Door Opener with Rolling Codesº
later in this section or contact the manufacturer of the
unit at 1
-800-355-3515 or Cadillac Customer
Assistance (1800
-458-8006 in the United States)
(1
-800-263-3777 in Canada).
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 automatically stop transmitting
after one or two seconds. In this case, 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. Release both buttons when the indicator light on
the universal transmitter begins to flash rapidly.
Operating the Transmitter
Press and hold the appropriate button on the universal
transmitter. The indicator light comes on while the
signal is being transmitted.
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 1996, the garage door opener may have a ªrolling
codeº 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 flashes rapidly for one to
two seconds, then turns solid, the garage door opener
has a rolling code system. In a rolling code system, the
garage door motor head unit must be trained to the
universal transmitter.
Training a Garage Door Opener with a
ªRolling Codeº Feature (If Equipped)
If you have not previously programmed the hand-held
transmitter to the universal transmitter, see
ªProgramming the Transmitterº listed previously. If you
have completed this programming already, you now
need to train the garage door opener motor head unit 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. Find the training button on the garage door opener
motor head unit. The exact location and color will
vary by garage door opener brand. If you have
difficulty finding the training button, refer to your
garage door opener owner's manual.
2. Press the training button on the garage door opener
motor head unit. An indicator light will begin to
flash when the motor head unit enters the
training mode.
Note: Following this step, you have 30 seconds to
start Step 3.

3. Return to the universal transmitter in your vehicle
and firmly press and release the universal transmitter
button you have already programmed for two to
three seconds. Press and release the button again
(you may need to do this step up to three times) to
make sure that the universal transmitter has been
trained to the garage door opener motor head unit.
Check that the training was successful. The motor
head unit indicator 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, call the
manufacturer of the unit at 1
-800-355-3515 or
Cadillac Customer Assistance (1
-800-458-8006 in
the United States) (1
-800-263-3777 in Canada).
Erasing Channels
To erase all three programmed channels, hold down the
two outside buttons until the indicator light begins to
flash (after 20 seconds). Release both buttons.
