channel, proceed to Step
2. Otherwise, hold down
the two outside buttons on the universal transmitter

buttons. This procedure initializes the memory and
erases any previous settings for all three channels.

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 Oldsmobile retailer.
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.
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 transm-itter, 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.
