range. This is normal for any remote keyless entry
system. If the transmitter does not work or if you have
to stand closer to your vehicle for the transmitter to
work, try this:
Check to determine if battery replacement or
resynchronization
is necessary. See the instructions
that follow.

pressing and holding both the LOCK and UNLOCK
buttons on the transmitter for about eight seconds.
You
must be within range of the vehicle.
Once the transmitter has been resynchronized, the horn
will chirp and the exterior lamps will flash once. The
system should now operate properly.

Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote lock
control transmitter should last about two years.
You can tell the battery is weak if the transmitter won’t
work at the normal range in any location.
If you have to
get close to your vehicle before the transmitter works,
it’s probably time to change the battery.
For battery replacement, use a Duracell@battery, type
DL-2032,
or a similar type.

Programming the Transmitter
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
1, 1982.
rse sure that people and objects are clear of the garage
door you are programming. Your
vehicle’s engine should be turned off while
programming your transmitter. Follow these steps to
program up to three channels:
1. If you have previously programmed a universal
transmitter 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.
2. Hold the end of your hand-held transmitter against
the bottom surface of the universal transmitter
so
that you can still see the red light.
3. 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.
4. Hold down both buttons until you see the red light
on the universal transmitter flash slowly then
rapidly. The rapid flashing, which could take up
to
90 seconds, indicates that the universal transmitter
has been programmed. Release both buttons
three seconds after the light starts to flash rapidly.
2-57

If you have trouble programming the universal
transmitter, make sure that you have followed the
directions exactly as described and that the batteries
in the hand-held transmitter are not dead. If
you still
cannot program it, rotate your 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 Aurora retailer.
Be sure to keep your original hand-held transmitter
in case you need to erase and reprogram the
universal transmitter.
Note to Canadian Owners: During programming, your
hand-held transmitter may stop transmitting after one or
two seconds. If you are programming from one of these
transmitters,
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 three seconds after the red light on
the universal transmitter begins to flash rapidly.
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 your hand-held
transmitter and
also from one channel to another.
Training a Garage Door Opener Equipped
with “Rolling Codes”
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 and hold 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.
2.
3.
4.

receiver. The exact location and color will vary
among brands. Refer to your garage door opener
manufacturer’s owner’s manual to locate the training
button.
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 your retailer.
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.
