includes any garage door opener model manufactured
before April

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.
2. Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter against the
bottom surface of the ~~niversal transmitter
so that
you can still see the red
light.
3. Decide which one of the three channels you want to
program. Using both hands, press the hand-held
transmitter button and the desired button on the
universal transmitter. Continue
to hold both buttons
through Step
4.
4.
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
program the transmitter after repeated attempts. consult
your
GM dealer.
Be sure to keep the original hand-held transmitter in case
you need
to erase and reprogram the universal transmitter.

Theft-Deterrent Feature
THEFTLOCK" is designed to discourage theft of your
radio. It works by using a secret code to disable all radio
functions whenever battery power is removed.
The THEFTLOCK feature for the radio may be used or
ignored.
If ignored, the system plays normally and the
radio is not protected by the feature. If THEFTLOCK
is
activated, your radio will not operate if stolen.
When
THEFTLOCK is activated, the radio will display
LOC to indicate a locked condition anytime battery
power is removed. If your battery loses power for any
reason, you must unlock the radio with the secret code
before it will operate.
Activating the Theft-Deterrent Feature
The instructions which follow explain how to enter your
secret code to activate the THEFTLOCK system. It is
recommended that
you read through all nine steps
before starting the procedure.
NOTE: If you allow more than
15 seconds to elapse
between any steps, the radio automatically reverts to
time and you must start the procedure over at Step
4.
