patible with devices that have units which
operate in the frequency range of 280 to
433 MHz .
R Replace the batteries in garage door
remote control 0083.This increases the like-
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.
