Your velucle’s engine should be turned off whileprogramming your transmitter. Follow these steps toprogram up to three channels:1. If you have previously programmed a universaltransmitter channel, proceed to Step 2. Otherwise,hold down the two outside buttons on the universaltransmitter until the red light begins flash to rapidly(approximately 20 seconds). Then release thebuttons. This procedure initializes the memory anderases any previous settings for all three channels.2. Hold the end of your hand-held transmitter againstthe bottom surface of the universal transmitter sothat you can still see the red light.3. Decide which one of the three channels you wantto program. Using both hands, press the hand-heldtransmitter button and the desired button on theuniversal transmitter. Continue to hold both buttonsthrough Step 4.4. Hold down both buttons until you see the redlight on the universal transmitter flash slowly thenrapidly. The rapid flashing, which could take up to90 seconds, indicates that the universal transmitterhas been programmed. Release both buttons threeseconds after the light starts to flash rapidly.If you have trouble programming the universaltransmitter, make sure that you have followed thedirections exactly as described and that the batteries inthe hand-held transmitter are not dead. If you stillcannot program it, rotate your hand-held transmitterend over end and try again.
