Problems when programming
If you are experiencing problems
programming the integrated garage door
opener on the rear-view mirror, take note of
the following instructions:
Check remote control frequency of garage
R
door drive remote control A. This is
usually located on the back of the remote
control.
The integrated garage door opener is
compatible with devices that have units
which operate in the frequency range of
280 to 390 MHz.
Change the batteries in garage door remote

control A. This increases the likelihood
that garage door remote control A will
send a strong and precise signal to the
integrated garage door opener in the rear-
view mirror.
When programming, hold remote control
R
A at varying distances and angles from the
button which you are programming. Try
various angles at a distance of between 2
to 12 inches (5 to 30 cm) or at the same
angle but at varying distances.
if another remote control for the same
R
garage door drive is available, repeat the
same programming steps with this remote
control. Before performing these steps,
make sure that new batteries have been
installed in garage door drive remote
control A.
note that some remote controls only
R
transmit for a limited amount of time (the
indicator lamp on the remote control goes
out). Press button B on remote control
A before transmission ends.
