Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off while
programming the transmitter. Follow these steps to
program
up to three channels:
I, If you have not previously programmed a universal
channel, proceed to Step
2. Otherwise, hold down the
two outside buttons on the universal transmitter
until
the red light begins to flash rapidly (approximately
20 seconds). Then rekase the buttons. This procedure
initializes the memory and erases any previous
settings for all three channels.

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

Hold down both buttons until yo~r see the red light
on the Llniversal transmitter flash 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 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.
If you cannot
