You have 30 seconds to initiate the follow-
ing two steps.
X Step 10: Return to the vehicle and firmly
press, hold for 2 seconds and release the
programmed signal transmitter button
(
2 , 3 or 4 ).
X Step 11: Press, hold for 2 seconds and
release same signal transmitter button a
second time to complete the training proc-
ess.
i Some garage door openers (or other roll-
ing code equipped devices) may require
you to press, hold for 2 seconds and
release the same signal transmitter button
a third time to complete the training proc-
ess.
X Step 12: Confirm the garage door opera-
tion by pressing the programmed signal
transmitter button (
2 , 3 or 4 ).
X Step 13: To program the remaining two
signal transmitter buttons, repeat the steps
above starting with step 3.
Gate operator/Canadian programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require trans-
mitter signals to “time-out” (or quit) after
several seconds of transmission which may
not be long enough for the integrated signal
transmitter to pick up the signal during pro-
gramming. Similar to this Canadian law, some
U.S. gate operators are designed to “time-
out” in the same manner.
If you live in Canada or if you are having dif-
ficulties programming a gate operator
(regardless of where you live) by using the
programming procedures, replace step 4 with
the following:
X Step 4: Press and hold the signal transmit-
ter button ( 2 , 3 or 4 ). Do not release
this button until it has been successfully
trained.
X While still holding down the signal trans-
mitter button (
2 , 3 or 4 ), “cycle” your
hand-held remote control button 6 as fol-
lows: Press and hold button 6 for 2 sec-
onds, then release it for 2 seconds, and
again press and hold it for 2 seconds.
Repeat this sequence on the hand-held
remote control until the frequency signal
has been learned.
Upon successful training, indicator lamp
1 will flash slowly and then rapidly after
several seconds.
X Proceed with programming step 5 and
step 6 to complete.
i Upon completion of programming the
integrated remote control, make sure you
retain the hand-held remote control that
came with the garage door opener, gate
operator or other device. You may need it
for use in other vehicles, for future pro-
gramming of an integrated remote control,
or simply for continued use as a hand-held
remote control to operate the respective
device in other situations.
Reprogramming a single signal trans-
mitter button
To program a device using a signal transmit-
ter button previously trained, follow these
steps:
X Switch on the ignition.
X Press and hold the desired signal transmit-
ter button (
2 , 3 or 4 ). Do not release
the button.
Indicator lamp
1 will begin to flash after
20 seconds.
X Without releasing the signal transmitter
button, proceed with programming starting
with step 3.
