All programs of the three memory buttons, arrow 2, are cleared.

3. Hold the hand-held transmitter a distance of approx. 2 to 8 in/5 to 20 cm from the memory buttons.

4. Simultaneously press the transmit button of the hand-held transmitter and the memory button of the universal remote control.
The LED flashes slowly.

The device can be operated using the memory button with the engine running or the ignition switched on.

Malfunction

If the device cannot be used after repeated attempts at programming, please check whether the hand-held transmitter is equipped with an alternating code system.

To do so:

  • Read the instructions of the hand-held transmitter.
  • Press the memory button of the universal remote control for an extended period.

If the LED flashes rapidly for a brief period and then lights up continuously for approx. 2 seconds, the hand-held transmitter is equipped with an alternating code system.

In this case, program the memory buttons as described under Alternating-code hand-held transmitters.

Alternating-code hand-held transmitters

Please obtain information on synchronizing the device in the operating manual of the device being set up.

Programming will be easier with the aid of a second person.
