The integrated garage door opener is com-
patible with devices that have units which
operate in the frequency range of 280 to

lihood that garage door remote control 0083
will transmit astrong and precise signal to
the integrated garage door opener in the
rear-view mirror.
R When programing, hold remote control 0083
at varying distances and angles from the
button that you are programing. Try various angles at adistance between 2and
12 inches (5to 30 cm) or at the same angle
but at varying distances.

garage door drive is available,r epeat the
same programing steps with this remote
control. Before performing these steps,

mit for alimited amount of time (the indi-
cator lamp on the remote control goes out). Press button 0084on remote control 0083again
