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.
