Features view mirror with the garage door system receiver after programming. You will find further information in the garage door opening system's operating instructions, e.g. the sections on "Synchronizing the transmitter" or "Registering a new transmitter". You can also call the hotline mentioned above. Notes on programming the remote control Canadian radio frequency laws require a "break" (or interruption) of the transmission signals a few seconds after broadcasting. Therefore, these signals may not last long enough for the integrated remote control to recognize the signal during programming. Comparable with Canadian law, some U.S. garage door openers also have a built-in "interruption". If you live in Canada or have difficulties programming the garage door opener (regardless of where you live) when using the programming steps (see above), proceed as follows: X Press transmitter button (;, = or ?) and hold it down during the following steps until the setup has been completed successfully. X At the same time, press transmitter button B of the garage door remote control for two seconds, then release it for two seconds, then press it again for two seconds. X Repeat this sequence on transmitter button B of the garage door remote control until the frequency signal has been saved. X If the setup procedure is successful, indicator lamp : flashes once slowly and goes out after a few seconds. X Continue with the other programming steps (see above). Problems when programming If you have problems when programming the integrated remote control, please note the following: RCheck 441 the transmitter frequency of garage door remote control A (which can usually be found on the rear of the remote control). The integrated remote control is compatible with devices that operate at frequencies between 280 and 390 MHz. RReplace the batteries in garage door remote control A. This increases the likelihood of garage door remote control A sending a strong and precise signal to the integrated remote control on the rear-view mirror. RWhen programming, hold garage door remote control A at varying distances and angles from the transmitter button which you are programming. Try different angles at a distance of 2 to 12 inches (5 to 30 cm) or the same angle at different distances. RIf there is another garage door remote control for the same device, perform the programming steps again using the remote control. Before performing these steps, make sure that new batteries have been installed in the garage door remote control. RAlign the antenna cable of the garage door opener unit. This can improve signal reception/transmission. Opening or closing the garage door Once programmed, the integrated remote control will assume the function of the garage door system's remote control. Please also read the operating instructions for the garage door system. X Turn the SmartKey to position 2 in the ignition lock. X Press transmitter button ;, = or ? in the overhead control panel that you have programmed to operate the garage door. Garage door system with fixed code: indicator lamp : lights up continuously.
