Integrated universal remote

control*

The concept

The integrated universal remote control can
replace as many as three hand-held transmit-
ters for various remote-controlled accessories,
such as garage and gate or lighting systems.
The integrated universal remote control regis-
ters and stores signals from 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. After this, the programmed

memory button

1 will operate the system in

question. The LED

2 flashes to confirm trans-

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

105

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 precautions of the original hand-held
transmitter.

Checking compatibility

If you see this symbol on the packaging
or in the manual supplied with the orig-
inal hand-held transmitter, it is safe to

assume that it is compatible with the integrated
universal remote control.

Programming

1 Memory buttons
2 LED

Fixed-code hand-held transmitters

Switch on ignition, refer to page

When starting operation for the first time:
Press the left and right-hand memory
button

1 for approx. 20 seconds until the

LED

2 flashes quickly. All stored programs

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 the mem-

ory buttons

tem of the original hand-held transmitter
used.

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

1 on the inte-

grated universal remote control. The LED

flashes slowly at first. As soon as the LED

flashes rapidly, release both buttons. If the
LED

2 does not flash rapidly after approx.

15 seconds, alter 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.
