Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off while
programming the transmitter.
Follow these steps to
program up to three channels:
1.
If
you have not previously programmed a universal
channel, proceed to Step
2.
Otherwise, hold down
the two outside buttons
on the universal transmitter
until the red 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
the hand-held transmitter against the
bottom surface of the universal transmitter
so
that
you
can still see the red light.
3.
Decide which one
of
the three channels you want to
program. Using both hands, press the hand-held
transmitter button and the desired button on the
universal transmitter. Continue to hold both buttons
through Step 4.
4.
Hold down both buttons until you see the red light
on
the universal transmitter flash 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.
If
you have trouble programming the universal
transmitter, make sure that you have followed the
directions exactly as described and that the battery
in
the
hand-held transmitter
is
not dead. If you still cannot
program
it,
rotate the hand-held transmitter end over end
and try again. The universal transmitter may not work
with older garage door openers that do not meet current
Federal Consumer Safety Standards.
If
you cannot
program the transmitter after repeated attempts, consult
your Oldsmobile retailer.
Be sure to keep the original hand-held transmitter
in
case
you need to erase and reprogram the universal transmitter.
Operating the Transmitter
Press and hold the appropriate button on the universal
transmitter. The red light comes on while the signal is
being transmitted.
Note that the effective transmission range
of
the
universal transmitter may differ from
the
hand-held
transmitter and from one channel to another.
