Integrated universal remote

control*

The concept

The integrated universal remote control can
replace as many as three hand-held transmit-
ters for various radio-controlled accessories,
such as garages, exterior gates, or lighting sys-
tems. The integrated universal remote control
recognizes and learns the transmitted signal of
each of the original hand-held transmitters.
The signal of an original hand-held transmitter
can be programmed on one of the three mem-
ory buttons

1. Then, the programmed memory

button

1 can operate the device whenever the

ignition is switched on. The LED

2 indicates

transmission of the signal.
Should you sell your vehicle one day, be sure to
delete the stored programs beforehand for your
security, refer to page

To prevent possible damage or injury,
before programming or using the inte-

grated universal remote control, always inspect
the immediate area to make certain that no peo-
ple, animals or objects are within the travel range
of the device. Also, comply with the safety pre-
cautions of the original hand-held transmitter.

Checking compatibility

If you see this symbol on the packaging
or in the manual supplied with the origi-
nal hand-held transmitter, then it is safe

to assume that the radio-controlled device is
compatible with the integrated universal
remote control.

Programming

1 Memory buttons
2 LED

Fixed-code hand-held transmitters

Turn the ignition key to position 2.

For initial use: press the left and right mem-
ory button

1 for approx. 20 seconds until

the LED

2 flashes rapidly. All stored pro-

grams are deleted.

Hold the original hand-held transmitter at a
distance of approx. 4 in/10 cm to 12 in/
30 cm from the memory buttons

The required distance between the
hand-held transmitter and memory

buttons

1 depends on the relevant system

of the original hand-held transmitter used.

Simultaneously press the transmit button
on the original hand-held transmitter and
the desired memory button

1 of the inte-

grated universal remote control. Initially, the
LED

2 flashes slowly. Release both buttons

as soon as the LED

2 flashes rapidly. If the

LED

2 does not flash rapidly after approx.

15 seconds, then change the distance and
repeat the step.

To program other original hand-held trans-
mitters, repeat steps 3 and 4.

The corresponding memory button

1 is now

programmed with the signal of the original
hand-held transmitter.
You can use the system when the engine is run-
ning or when the ignition is switched on.
