channel, proceed to Step

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 s~rre that you have followed the
directions exactly
as described and that the battery in the
hand-held transmitter is not dead.
If yo~t 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.
