WARNING!
²A moving garage door can cause injury to people
and pets in the path of the door. People or pets
could be seriously or fatally injured. Only use this
transceiver with a garage door opener that has a
ªstop and reverseº feature as required by federal
safety standards. This includes most garage door
opener models manufactured before April 1, 1982.
Do not use a garage door opener without these
safety stop and reverse features it could cause
injury or death. Call toll-free for customer assis-
tance at 1±800±355±3515, or on the internet at
www.homelink.jci.com for safety information or
assistance.
Training The Universal Transceiver
For best results, install a new battery in the hand held
transmitter before programming. If your garage door
opener (located in the garage) is equipped with an
antenna, make sure that the antenna is hanging straight
down.
1. Turn off the engine.
WARNING!
²Vehicle exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a dan-
gerous gas. Do not run the vehicle's exhaust while
training the transceiver. Exhaust gas can cause
serious injury or death.
²Your motorized door or gate will open and close
while you are training the universal transceiver.
Do not train the transceiver if people or pets are in
the path of the door or gate. A moving door or gate
can cause serious injury or death to people and
pets or damage to objects.
2. Erase the factory test codes by pressing the two
outside buttons (A and B) on the universal transceiver.

NOTE:
²Some entry gates and garage door openers may re-
quire you to replace step 4 with the procedures listed
under Canadian Programming.
5. The indicator light (D) will begin to flash, first slowly
and then rapidly. The rapid flashing indicates successful
programming. If after 90 seconds the indicator light does
not flash rapidly or goes out, return to step 1 and repeat
the procedure. To train the other buttons, repeat steps 3
and 4. Be sure to keep your hand held transmitters in case
you need to retrain the universal transceiver.
Refer to the Rolling Code Programming or the
Canadian/Gate paragraphs for additional procedures, if
necessary.
If you do not successfully program the universal trans-
ceiver to learn the signal of your hand held transmitter,
refer to the Rolling Code Paragraph, or call toll-free for
customer assistance at 1±800±355±3515, or on the internet
at www.homelink.jci.com.
Canadian Programming/Gate Programming
Canadian frequency laws, and the technology of some
entry gates, require you to press and release the hand
held transmitter button every two seconds during pro-
gramming.
Continue to press and hold the universal transceiver
button (A, B or C) while you press and release the hand
held transmitter button until the frequency signal has
been learned. The indicator light (D) will flash slowly
and then rapidly when the programming is successful.
NOTE:

gate, unplug the device to prevent possible damage to
the garage door or gate motor.
