If you have problems when programming the
integrated remote control, please note the
following:
R check the transmitter frequency of garage
door remote control A(which can usually
be found on the back of the remote con-
trol).
The integrated remote control is compati-
ble with devices that have units which oper-
ate in the frequency range of 280 to
390 MHz.
R Replace the batteries in garage door
remote control A.This increases the prob-
ability of garage door remote control A
sending a strong and more precise signal
to the integrated remote control on the
rear-view mirror.
R when programming, hold garage door
remote control Aat varying distances and
angles from the transmitter button which
you are programming. Try various angles at
a distance between 5and 30 cm or at the
same angle but at varying distances.
R if there is another garage door remote con-
trol for the same device, perform the pro-
gramming steps again using that garage
door opener. Before performing these steps, make sure that new batteries have
been fitted in the garage door remote con-
trol.
R Align the aerial cable of the garage door
opener unit. This can improve signal recep-
tion/transmission.
