1997 CADILLAC DEVILLE dead battery

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 3. Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter against the
front surface
of the universal transmitter so that you
can still
see the red light.
4. Using both hands, press the hand-held transmitter
button and the desired button on the universal
transmitter. Continue to press both buttons through Step 5.
5. Hold down both buttons until you see the red light
on the universal transmitter flash slowly and then
rapidly. The rapid flashing, which could take up to
90 seconds, 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, consult
your Cadillac dealer.
Be sure to keep the original hand-held transmitter in case
you need to erase and reprogram the universal transmitter.
Note to Canadian Owners: During programming, the
hand-held transmitter may stop transmitting after one or
two seconds.
If you are programming from one of these
transmitters,
you should press and re-press the button on
the hand-held transmitter every two seconds without
ever releasing the button on the universal transmitter.
Release both buttons when the red light on the universal
transmitter begins to flash rapidly.
Operating the Transmitter
Press and hold the appropriate button on the universal
transmitter. The red light comes on while the signal is
being transmitted.
Note that the universal transmitter
is disabled when the
VALET button inside the glove box is activated. For
more information, see “Security Override” earlier
in
this section.
Also note that if the hand-held transmitter appears to
program the universal transmitter but does not open
your garage door, and if the garage door opener was
manufactured after 1995, the garage door opener may
have a “rolling code” system.
A rolling code system
changes the code
of the garage door opener every time
you open or close the garage door.
