3. Hold the original control device
approx. 2 to 8 in / 5 to 20 cm away

original control device.
The system can be operated from igni-
tion key position 2.
If the system cannot be operated

gramming, check whether the original
control device is equipped with an
alternating-code system. You can either
check the operating instructions of the
original control device for this informa-
tion, or you can press and hold down
the programmed memory button 1 of
the integrated universal remote control.
If indicator lamp 2 of the integrated uni-
versal remote control flashes rapidly for
a brief period and then remains on for
approx. 2 seconds, the original control
device is equipped with an alternating-
code system. In this case, you have to
program the memory buttons 1 as
described below for an alternating-
code control device.<

you program an alternating-code con-
trol device:

you have the assistance of
another person.<

the section on fixed-code program-
ming
3. Locate the button on the receiver of
