Programming the Transmitter

Do not use the universal transmitter with any garage
door opener that does not have the “stop and reverse”
feature. This includes any garage door opener model
manufactured before April 1, 1982.

Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage
door you are programming.

Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off while
programming the transmitter. Follow these steps to
program up to three channels:

1. If you have previously programmed a transmitter

channel, proceed to Step 2. Otherwise, hold down
the two outside buttons on the universal transmitter
until the indicator light begins to flash rapidly (after
20 seconds). Then release the buttons. This
procedure initializes the memory and erases any
previous settings for all three channels.

2. Decide which one of the three channels you want to

program. Hold the end of the hand

-

held transmitter

about 2 to 5 inches (5 to 13 cm) away from the
surface of the universal transmitter so that you can
still see the indicator light.

3. Using both hands, press the hand

-

button and the desired button on the universal
transmitter. Continue to press both buttons through
Step 4.

4. Hold down both buttons until you see the red light

on the universal transmitter flash rapidly. The rapid
flashing indicates that the universal transmitter has
been programmed. Release both buttons once the
light starts to flash rapidly.

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, refer to
“Training a Garage Door Opener with Rolling Codes”
later in this section or contact the manufacturer of the
unit at 1
