Programming the Transmitter
Do not use the transmitter with any garage door opener
that does
not have the “stop and reverse” feature. This
includes any garage door opener model manufactured
before April
1, 1982.
Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage
door
you are programming.
Your vehicle’s engine should be turned
off while
programming the transmitter. Follow these steps to
program up to three channels:
1. If you have 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 release the
buttons. This procedure initializes the memory and
erases any previous settings for all three channels.

4.
Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter against the
bottom surface of the universal transmitter so that
you can still see the red light.
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.
Hold down both buttons until you see the red light
on the universal 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 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
GM dealer. Be sure
to keep the original hand-held transmitter
in case you need
to erase and reprogram the
universal transmitter.
Operating the Tran I -:--. - r
Press and hold the appropriate button on the universal
transmitter. The red light comes
on while the signal is
being transmitted.
Note that the effective transmission range of the
universal transmitter may differ from the hand-held
transmitter and from one channel to another.
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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Training a Garage Opener with a “Rolling Code” Feature
If you programmed the universal transmitter, but the
garage door will
not open, and if your garage door
opener was manufactured after 1995, your garage door
may have a security feature that changes the “code” of
your garage door opener every time it is opened
or closed.
To determine if your garage door opener has this
“rolling code” feature, press the appropriate button on
the universal transmitter that was programmed. If
the
red light flashes rapidly for one to two seconds, then
turns solid, your garage door opener has this feature.
To program a garage door opener with the rolling code
feature, do
the following:
1. Program your hand-held transmitter to the universal
transmitter by following the steps provided under
“Programming the Transmitter” earlier in
this section.
2. Remove the cover panel from the garage door
opener receiver. It is located near the garage door
opener motor. 3.
4.
5.
6.
Locate
the training button on the garage door opener
receiver. The exact location and color will vary.
Press the training button on the garage door opener
receiver for one to two seconds.
Return
to your vehicle and press the programmed
button on the universal transmitter until the red light
flashes rapidly (about two seconds).
Release the button, then press the button again to
confirm that it was programmed
to the garage door
opener receiver.
You may now use either the universal transmitter or the
hand-held transmitter
to open your garage door. If you
still have difficulty in programming and require
assistance, please
call 1-800-355-35 15,
