Canadian radio frequency lawsr equire a
"break" (or interruption) of the transmission
signals after broadcasting for afew seconds.
Therefore, these signals may not last long
enough for the integrated garage door
opener. The signal is not recognized during

If you are experiencing problems programing
the integrated garage door opener on the
rear-view mirror, take note of the following
instructions:
R Check the transmitter frequency of garage
door drive remote control 0083.This can usu-
ally be found on the back of the remote
control.
The integrated garage door opener is com-
patible with devices that have units which
operate in the frequency range of 280 to
433 MHz .
R Replace the batteries in garage door
remote control 0083.This increases the like-
lihood that garage door remote control 0083
will transmit astrong and precise signal to
the integrated garage door opener in the
rear-view mirror.
R When programing, hold remote control 0083
at varying distances and angles from the
button that you are programing. Try various angles at adistance between 2and
12 inches (5to 30 cm) or at the same angle
but at varying distances.
R If another remote control for the same
garage door drive is available,r epeat the
same programing steps with this remote
control. Before performing these steps,
make sure that new batteries have been
installed in garage door drive remote
control 0083.
R Note that some remote controls only trans-
mit for alimited amount of time (the indi-
cator lamp on the remote control goes out). Press button 0084on remote control 0083again
before transmission ends.
R Align the antennac able of the garage door
opener unit. This can improve signal recep- tion/transmission.
Opening/closing the garage door Once programed, the integrated garage door
opener 0083will assume the function of the
garage door system's remote control. Please Features
