Programming tips
If you are having difficulty programming the
integrated remote control, here are some
helpful tips:
R Check the frequency of hand-held remote
control
5 (typically located on the reverse
side of the remote). The integrated remote
control is compatible with radio-frequency
devices operating between 280-390 MHz.
R Put a new battery in hand-held remote con-
trol
5 . This will increase the likelihood of
the hand-held remote control sending a
faster and more accurate signal to the inte-
grated remote control.
R While performing step 3, hold hand-held
remote control
5 at different lengths and
angles from the signal transmitter button
(
2 , 3 or 4 ) you are programming.
Attempt varying angles at the distance of 2
to 12 inches (5 to 30 cm) away or the same
angle at varying distances.
R If another hand-held remote control is avail-
able for the same device, try the program-
ming steps again using that other hand-
held remote control. Make sure new
batteries are in the hand-held remote con-
trol before beginning the procedure.
R Straighten the antenna wire from the
garage door opener assembly. This may
help improve transmitting and/or receiving
signals.
i Certain types of garage door openers are
incompatible with the integrated remote
control. If you should experience further
difficulties with programming the inte-
grated remote control, contact an author-
ized Mercedes-Benz Center, or call Mer-
