Programming 1 Memory buttons
2 Indicator lampFixed-code hand-held transmitter1. Switch on the ignition
2. For initial use: press both outer but-
tons 1 for approx. 20 seconds, main-
taining pressure until the indicator
lamp 2 starts to flash. The three
memory buttons 1 are cleared
3. Hold the original hand-held transmit-
ter at a distance of approx. 2 to 8 in/
5 to 20 cm from the memory but-
tons 1
The required distance between
the hand-held transmitter and
memory buttons 1 depends on the 530us247
relevant system of the original hand-
held transmitter used.<
4. Simultaneously press the transmit
button on the original hand-held
transmitter and the desired memory
button 1 of the integrated universal
remote control. Initially, the indicator
lamp 2 flashes slowly. Release both
buttons as soon as the indicator
lamp 2 flashes rapidly If the indicator
lamp 2 does not flash rapidly after
approx. 15 seconds, change the dis-
tance
5. To program other original hand-held
transmitters, repeat steps 3 and 4.
The corresponding memory button 1 is
now programmed with the signal of the
original hand-held transmitter.
You can operate the system when the
engine is running or when the ignition is
switched on.
If the system cannot be operated
after repeated programming,
check whether the original hand-held
transmitter uses an alternating-code
system. To do so, either read the
instructions of the original hand-held
transmitter or press and hold down the
programmed memory button 1 of the
integrated universal remote control.
If the indicator lamp 2 on the integrated
universal remote control flashes quickly
for a brief period and then remains lit up
for approx. two seconds, this indicates
that the original hand-held transmitter is
equipped with an alternating code. In
the case of an alternating-code system,
program the memory buttons 1 as
described at the section on alternating-
code hand-held transmitters.
If you have additional questions, please

cle center or call 1-800-355-3515.
