SERVICE INFORMATION

19/97-4 GROUP 82 - MODEL 140, INTRODUCTION OF ROLLING CODE UNIVERSAL TRANSMITTER: As of VIN # A367861 with production date of 03/27/97, all Model 140 vehicles are now equipped with a garage door transmitter which is capable of functioning with rolling code garage door openers. The new style transmitter can be identified by amber LED's as opposed to red LED's on the previous version. The programming procedure has also changed, and is listed below. Service Information on this topic is being prepared and will be released shortly.

PROGRAMMING THE UNIVERSAL TRANSMITTER:

1. Prepare for programming by erasing all three factory defaults by holding down the two outside buttons until the light begins to flash (20-30 seconds). Release both buttons.
2. Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter against the universal transmitter keeping the light on the Universal Transmitter in view.
3. Using both hands, push the hand-held transmitter button and the desired button to be programmed on the universal transmitter. Hold down both buttons until the light on the universal transmitter flashes, first slowly and then rapidly. When the light flashes rapidly, both buttons may be released. (The rapid flashing light indicates successful programming.)
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to program the remaining channels (if necessary). If after repeated attempts, you are unable to successfully program the transmitter, the garage door opener may be equipped with "rolling code" security. This can be established by either of the following:
   1. The hand-held transmitter appears to program the universal transmitter, but thereafter the vehicle's universal transmitter does not activate the garage door.

   OR

   2. The garage door opener was manufactured after 1995. To train a garage door opener receiver with the rolling code feature, follow these steps (the aid of a second person is suggested):
   1. Locate the training button on the garage door opener receiver (this is the opener unit itself). Location and color of the button varies by manufacturer. Reference the garage door opener manual or call 1-800-355-3515.
   2. Press the training button on the garage door opener receiver until the light next to the button begins to flash (1-2 seconds).
   3. Press the programmed universal transmitter button in the vehicle until the training light on the garage door receiver turns solid (1-2 seconds). Release the button on the universal transmitter, and then re-press which turns off the training light. Confirm the operation of the garage door by pressing once again. For any difficulties with programming, contact 1-800-355-3515.
