accessory package, other devices controlled by
radio frequency such as home/office lighting systems
and security systems.
The transmitter will learn and transmit the frequencies
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.

Programming the Transmitter
Do not use the transmitter with any garage door opener

Be sure tkat people and objects are clear of the garage
door
you are programming.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off while
programming the transmitter. Follow these steps to
program up to three channels:
1.
2.
3.
4.
If you have previously programmed a universal
channel, proceed
to Step 2. Otherwise, hold down
the two outside buttons
on the universal transmitter
until the red 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.
Hold the end
of the hand-held transmitter against the
bottom surface of the universal transmitter
so that
you can still see the red light.
Decide which one of the three channels
you want to
program. Using both hands, press the hand-held
transmitter button and the desired button on
the
universal transmitter. Continue to hold both buttons
through Step
4.
Hold down both buttons until you see the red light
on the universal transmitter flash 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. 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 your
GM dealer.
Be sure to keep the original hand-held transmitter
in case you need to erase and reprogram the
universal transmitter.
Operating the Transmitter
Press and hold the appropriate button on the universal
transmitter. The red light comes
on while the signal is
being transmitted.
Note that the effective transmission range
of the
universal transmitter may differ from the hand-held
transmitter and from one channel to another.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Erasing Channels
To erase all three programmed channels, hold down the
two outside buttons
until the red light begins to flash.
Individual channels cannot be erased, but can be
reprogrammed using the procedure for programming the
transmitter explained earlier.
Training a Garage Opener with a “Rolling
Code” Feature
If you programmed the universal transmitter, but the
garage door will
not open, and if your garage door opener
was manufactured after 1995, your garage door may have
a security feature that changes
the “code” of your garage
door opener every time it is opened or closed.
To determine if your garage door opener has this
“rolling code” feature, press the appropriate button on
the universal transmitter that was programmed. If the
red light flashes rapidly for
one to two seconds, then
turns solid, your garage door opener has this feature.
To program a garage door opener with the rolling code
feature, do
the following:
1. Program your hand-held transmitter to the universal
transmitter by following the steps provided under
“Programming
the Transmitter” earlier in this section.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Remove the cover panel from the garage door opener
receiver.
It is located near the garage door opener motor.
Locate the training button
on the garage door opener
receiver. The exact location and color will vary
among brands.
Press the training button
on the garage door opener
receiver for one to two seconds.
Return to your vehicle and press the programmed
button on the universal transmitter until the red light
flashes rapidly (about two seconds).
Release the button, then press it again
to confirm it
was programmed
to the garage door opener receiver.
You may now use either the universal transmitter or the
hand-held transmitter to open your garage door.
If you
still have difficulty in programming and require
assistance, please call
1-800-355-35 15.
Accessories
Accessories for the universal transmitter are available
from
the manufacturer of the unit. If you would like
