cle is dangerous and contrary to the product's intended use.

transmitter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any specific

transmitter button, or combination of buttons, to any receiver

function. The transmitter initially comes programmed with the

rized dealer. The transmitter buttons indicated in all of the

instructions in this manual correspond to a Standard Configuration
