programmed.
Release both buttons once the light starts to flash rapidly.
If you have trouble programming the HomeLink

sure that
you have followed the directions exactly as described and that the
batteries in the hand-held transmitter are not dead. If you still cannot
program
it, rotate your hand-held transmitter end over end and try again.
The HomeLink TM 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, consult your
Cadillac dealer or call
1-800-355-35 15.
Be sure to keep your original hand-held transmitter in case you need to
erase and reprogram the HomeLink TM transmitter.
Note to Canadian Owners: During programming, your hand-held transmitter
may stop transmitting after one or two seconds. If you are programming
from one
of these transmitters, the HorneLink TM indicator light may prompt
you to re-activate your hand-held transmitter
with a series of double blinks.

it flashes slowly, continue to periodically rc-activate
your hand-held transmitter
until the light flashes rapidly.

Erasing Channels
To erase all three programmed channels, hold down the two outside
buttons until the red light begins
to flash. Individual channels cannot be
erased,
but can be reprogrammed using the procedure for programming
the transmitter explained earlier.

Tips about Your Audio System
Be aware that hearing damage from loud noise is almost undetectable
until it is too late. Your hearing can adapt to higher volumes
of sound.
Sound that seems normal can
be loud and harmful to your hearing. Take
precautions
by adjusting the volume control on your radio to a safe sound
level before your hearing adapts
to it.
To help avoid hearing loss or damage:
0 Adjust the volume control to the lowest setting.
Increase volume slowly until you hear comfortably and clearly.
NOTICE:
Before you add any sound equipment to your vehicle -- like a
tape player,
CB radio, mobile telephone or two-way radio -- be
sure you can add what you want.
If you can, it’s very important
to do
it properly. Added sound equipment may interfere with the
operation
of your vehicle’s engine, Delco@ radio or other
systems, and even damage them.
And, your vehicle’s systems
may interfere with the operation
of sound equipment that has
been added improperly.
So, before adding sound equipment, check with your dealer and
be sure
to check Federal rules covering mobile radio and
telephone units.
