Integrated universal remote
control*
The concept
The integrated universal remote control can
replace as many as three hand-held transmit-
ters for various radio-controlled accessories,
such as garage doors, entrance gates, or light-
ing 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. After this, the programmed
memory button1 will operate the system in
question. The LED2 flashes to confirm trans-
mission of the signal.
Should you sell your vehicle one day, be sure to
delete the stored programs beforehand for your
security, refer to page112.
To prevent possible damage or injury,
during programming or before each use
of the programmed device by the integrated
universal remote control, always inspect the
immediate area to make certain that no people,
animals or objects are within the swiveling and
movement range of the device. Also, comply
with the safety precautions of the original hand-
held transmitter.<
Checking compatibility
If you see this symbol on the packaging
or in the manual supplied with the orig-
inal hand-held transmitter, then it is
safe to assume that it is compatible with the
integrated universal remote control.
