Problems when programming
If you have problems when programming the
integrated remote control, please note the fol-
lowing:
RCheck the transmitter frequency used by
garage door drive remote control Aand
whether it is supported. The transmitter fre-
quency can usually be found on the back of
remote control Afor the garage door drive.
The integrated remote control is compatible
with devices that have units which operate in
the frequency range of 280 to 390 MHz.
RReplace the batteries in remote control A.
This increases the probability of remote con-
trol Asending a strong and precise signal to
the integrated remote control on the rear-
view mirror.
RWhen programming, hold remote control A
at varying distances and angles from the
transmitter button that you are programming.
Try various angles at a distance between 2and
12 inches (5to 30 cm) or at the same angle
but at varying distances.
RIf a further remote control Ais available for
the same garage door drive, repeat the same
programming steps with this remote control A. Before performing these steps, make sure
that new batteries have been installed in
garage door drive remote control A.
RNote that some remote controls only transmit
for a limited amount of time (the indicator
lamp on the remote control goes out). Press
button Bon remote control Aagain before
transmission ends.
RAlign the antenna cable of the garage door
opener unit. This can improve signal trans-
mission.
