be found on the back of the remote con-
trol).

ble with devices that have units which oper-
ate in the frequency range of 280 to
390 MHz.

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.

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.
