Programming the Universal Transmitter

Do not use the Universal Transmitter with any garage
door opener that does not have the “stop and reverse”
safety feature. This includes any garage door opener
model manufactured before April 1, 1982.

Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage
door you are programming.

Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off while
programming the transmitter. Follow these steps to
program up to three channels:

1. If you have previously programmed a transmitter

channel, proceed to Step 2. Otherwise, hold down
the two outside buttons on the Universal Transmitter
until the indicator light begins to flash rapidly (after
20 seconds). Then release the buttons. This
procedure initializes the memory and erases any
previous settings for all three channels.

2. Decide which one of the three channels you want to

program. Hold the end of the hand

about 2 to 5 inches (5 to 13 cm) away from the
surface of the Universal Transmitter so that you can
still see the indicator light.

3. Using both hands, press the hand

button and the desired button on the Universal
Transmitter. Continue to press both buttons 
through Step 4.

4. Hold down both buttons until you see the indicator

light on the Universal Transmitter flash slowly and
then rapidly. The rapid flashing indicates that the
Universal Transmitter has been programmed.
Release both buttons once the indicator light starts 
to flash rapidly.

If you have trouble programming the Universal
Transmitter, make sure that you have followed the
directions exactly as described. The Universal
Transmitter may not work with older garage door
openers that do not meet current Federal Consumer
Safety Standards. If you cannot program the transmitter
after repeated attempts, refer to “Rolling Codes
Programming” later in this section or contact the
Universal Transmitter manufacturer at 1
