Integrated universal remote
control*
The concept
The integrated universal remote control
replaces up to three different hand-held trans-
mitters for various items of radio-controlled
equipment such as door openers and house
alarm systems. The integrated universal remote
control registers and stores signals from the
original hand-held transmitters.
The signal of an original hand-held transmitter
can be programmed into one of the three mem-
ory buttons1. Then the respective device can
be actuated using the memory button1 pro-
grammed for its use when the ignition key is in
position 2. The LED2 flashes to confirm trans-
mission of the signal.
If you sell your vehicle one day, delete the saved
programs beforehand for your own security,
refer to page101.
To prevent possible damage or injury,
before programming or using the inte-
grated universal remote control, always inspect
the immediate area to make certain that no peo-
ple, animals or objects are within the travel
range of the device. Also comply with the safety
precautions of the original hand-held transmit-
ter.<
Checking compatibility
If you see this symbol on the packaging
or in the manual supplied with the orig-
inal hand-held transmitter, it is safe to
assume that it is compatible with the integrated
universal remote control.

Programming
1Memory buttons
2LED
Fixed-code hand-held transmitters
1.Ignition key in position 2.
2.When using for the first time: press both
outer buttons 1 for approx. 20 seconds,
maintaining pressure until the LED 2 starts
to flash. The three memory buttons1 are
cleared.
3.Hold the original hand-held transmitter at a
distance of approx. 2 in/5 cm to 8 in/20 cm
to the memory buttons1.
The required distance between the
hand-held transmitter and the mem-
ory buttons1 depends on the respective
system of the original hand-held transmitter
used.<
4.Simultaneously press the transmit button
on the original hand-held transmitter and
the desired memory button1 on the inte-
grated universal remote control. Initially, the
LED2 flashes slowly. Release both buttons
as soon as the LED 2 flashes rapidly. If the
LED2 does not flash rapidly after approx.
15 seconds, change the distance.
5.To program other original hand-held trans-
mitters, repeat steps 3 and 4.
The corresponding memory button1 is now
programmed with the signal of the original
hand-held transmitter.
