Programming and Relearning

Universal Transmitter Programming

NOTE: A new battery in the hand-held transmitter may allow quicker and easier training due to a more accurate transmission of the radio frequency signal.

1. Verify the hand-held transmitter is operative.

2. Prepare for programming the universal transmitter by erasing all 3 channels by holding down the 2 outside buttons until the red light begins to flash (20-30 seconds). Release both buttons.

3. Select 1 of the 3 universal transmitter channels to be used for programming.

4. Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter 25-51 mm (1-2 in) from the front surface of the universal transmitter so that the red light can still be seen.

5. NOTE: During programming, the hand-held transmitter may automatically stop transmitting after 2 seconds, which may not be long enough to program the universal transmitter. If programming this type of hand-held transmitter, continue to hold the button on the universal transmitter while pressing the hand-held transmitter button every 2 seconds.

At the same time, press the hand-held transmitter button and the desired button on the universal transmitter until the red light on the universal transmitter flashes first slowly, and then rapidly. Release both buttons when the rapid flashing begins.

6. Firmly press and hold for 5 seconds and release the programmed hand-held transmitter button up to 2 separate times to activate the door. If the door does not activate, press and hold the just-trained universal transmitter button and observe the indicator light.
- If the indicator light stays on constantly, the programming is complete and the device should activate when the universal transmitter button is pressed and released.

- If the indicator light blinks rapidly for 2 seconds and then turns to a constant light, follow the Training a Garage Door Opener Equipped With "Rolling Codes " procedure below to complete the programming of a rolling code equipped device (most commonly a garage door opener).

7. To program additional hand-held transmitters repeat Steps 3-6.

Training a Garage Door Opener Equipped With "Rolling Codes"

1. NOTE: Step 3 must be initiated within 30 seconds of pressing and releasing of the "learn or "smart" button.

At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in the garage, locate the "learn" or "smart" button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit.

2. Firmly press and release the "learn" or "smart" button. (The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer). There are 30 seconds to initiate step 3.

3. Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for 2 seconds and release the programmed universal transmitter button. Repeat the press/hold/release sequence a second time and depending on the brand of the garage door opener (or other rolling code equipped device), repeat this sequence a third time to complete the programming process.
