If you have previously programmed a universal transmitter channel, proceed to Step2. Otherwise, hold down the two outside buttons on the universal transmitter until the amber 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. 2. Hold the end of your hand-held transmitter against the bottom surface of the universal transmitter so that you can still see the amber light. Programming the Transmitter Do not use the universal transmitter with any garage door opener that does not have the"stop and reverse" safety feature.

Continue to hold both buttons through Step 4. 4. Hold down both buttons until yousee the amber light on the universal transmitter first flash slowly, then rapidly. The rapid flashing, which could take up to 90 seconds, indicates that the universal transmitter has been programmed. Release both buttons once the light starts to flash rapidly. 2-65
