Programming and Relearning
UNIVERSAL TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMINGNOTE: A new battery in the hand-held transmitter may allow quicker and easier training due to a more accurate transmission of the radio frequency signal.
1. Verify the hand-held transmitter is operative.
2. Turn the key to the ON position.
3. Prepare for programming the universal transmitter by erasing all 3 channels by holding down the 2 outside buttons until the red light begins to flash (20-30 seconds). Release both buttons.
4. Select 1 of the 3 universal transmitter buttons to be used for programming.
5. Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter 25-76 mm (1-3 in) away from the front surface of the universal transmitter so that the universal transmitter red light can still be seen.
6. NOTE During programming, the hand-held transmitter may automatically stop transmitting after 2 seconds, which may not be long enough to program the universal transmitter. If programming with this type of hand-held transmitter, continue to hold the button on the universal transmitter while pressing and releasing the hand-held transmitter button every 2 seconds.
At the same time, press the hand-held transmitter button and the desired button on the universal transmitter until the red light on the universal transmitter flashes first slowly, and then rapidly. Release both buttons when the rapid flashing begins.
7. Firmly press and hold for 5 seconds, then release the just-trained universal transmitter button up to 2 separate times to activate the door. If after 2 separate times, the door still does not activate, press and hold the just-trained universal transmitter button and observe the indicator light.
- If the indicator light stays on constantly, programming is complete and the device should activate when the universal transmitter button is pressed and released.
- If the indicator light blinks rapidly for 2 seconds and then turns to a constant light, follow the Training a Garage Door Opener Equipped With "Rolling Codes" procedure to complete the programming of a rolling code equipped device.
Training a Garage Door Opener Equipped With "Rolling Codes"
1. At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in the garage, locate the "learn" or "smart" button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit.
2. Firmly press and release the "learn" or "smart" button. (The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer.) There are 30 seconds to initiate step 3.
3. Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for 2 seconds and release the programmed universal transmitter button. Repeat the press/hold/release sequence a second time, and depending on the brand of the garage door opener (or other rolling code equipped device), repeat this sequence a third time to complete the programming process.
