Integrated universal remote control*
The principle
The integrated universal remote control
takes the place of up to three different
control devices for different radio-
remote-controlled systems such as
gate openers and household alarm sys-
tems. The integrated universal remote
control detects and learns the signal
transmitted by the original control
device.
The signal of an original control device
can be programmed onto one of the
three memory buttons 1. The system in
question can then be operated by
means of the programmed memory
button 1. Signal transmission is indi-
cated by telltale light 2.
When the time comes to sell your car, in
the interest of your own security
remember to delete the programs
before the car leaves your possession,
see page 102.
While programming is in progress
and before operating any pro-
grammed system by remote control
using the integrated universal remote
control, make sure that the area of
movement of the system in question is
clear of people, animals and inanimate
obstructions, in order to avoid possible
injury or damage. Also comply with the
safety precautions issued for the origi-
nal control device.<
Checking compatibility
If this symbol is depicted on the
packaging or in the operating
instructions of the original con-
trol device, it is safe to assume that the
remote-controlled system is compatible
with the integrated universal remote
control.
