the indica/or
turns off. When you release

a 17th opera/ion,
it will
be
ignored,
and programming
is stopped.
•
If the SEND/LEARN
indicator
quickly
flashes
three times
and
turns off, then the remote
controller
has exited the programming
mode
because
either

or a time-out
has occurred
because
no button has
been pressed.
Resume
from Step 1.
Executing the macro

below
Io execute
the macro
that
