Notes on programming the remote

Canadianr adio frequency laws require a
"break "(or interruption )ofthetransmission
signals after broadcastin gfor afew seconds.
Therefore, these signals may no tlast long
enough for th eintegrate dgarag edoor
opener. The signal is no trecognized during
programming. Comparable with Canadian
law, some U.S.g arage door openers also
feature a"break".

you live) when usin gthe programming

Problems when programming
If you are experiencing problems
programming the integrated garage door
opener on the rear-view mirror, take noteof
the following instructions:
R Check the transmitter frequency of garage
door drive remote control 001E.This can
usually be found on the back of the remote
control.
The integrated garage door opener is
compatible with devices that have units
which operate in the frequency range of
280to4 33MHz.
R Replace the batteries in garage door
remote control 001E.This increases the
likelihood that garage door remote control
001E will transmit astronga nd precis esignal
to the integrated garage door opene rinthe
rear-view mirror.
R When programming, hold remote control
001E at varying distances and angles from the
button that you are programming. Try
various angles at adistance between 2and
12 inches (5to 30 cm) or at the same angle
but at varying distances.
R If another remote control for the same
garage door drive is available, repeat the Features
