while
programming your transmitter. Follow these steps to
program up to three channels:
1. If you have previously programmed a universal
transmitter channel, proceed to Step 2. Otherwise,
hold down the two outside buttons on the universal
transmitter until the red light begins to
flash rapidly
(approximately 20 seconds). Then release the
buttons. This procedure initializes the memory and
erases any previous settings for all three channels.

you
have trouble programming the universal
transmitter, make sure that you have followed the
directions exactly as described and that the batteries
in
the hand-held transmitter are not dead. If you still
cannot program it, rotate your hand-held transmitter
end over end and try again. The universal transmitter
may not be compatible with a limited number
of older
installations due to legislated changes in transmission
frequencies. If you cannot program the transmitter after
repeated attempts, consult your dealer.
Be sure to keep your original hand-held transmitter in case
you need to erase and reprogram the universal transmitter.
Note to Canadian Owners: During programming, your
hand-held transmitter may stop transmitting after one or
two seconds. If you are programming from one of these
transmitters, you should press and re-press the button
on the hand-held transmitter every two seconds without
ever releasing the button on the universal transmitter.
Release both buttons three seconds after the red light
on the universal transmitter begins to flash rapidly.
