Lear Car2U Transmitter

The Lear Universal Garage Door Opener (LEAR Car2U ™) is a universal transmitter and can
replace up to three different remote control transmitter units used to operate the following types
of devices:

x Garage Door Opener
x Security Devices
x Home Lighting Systems

Additional Lear Car2U ™ information can be found on the internet at www.learcar2U.com or by
calling 1-866-57Car2U.

Types of Garage Door Openers (Fixed Code and Rolling Code)

Lear UGDO™ has the capability of programming rolling code and fixed code garage door
openers:

x Rolling code garage door openers are used for garage doors produced after 1996 and are

code protected. Rolling code means the coded signal is changed every time your remote
control garage door opener is used.

x Fixed code garage door openers are used for garage doors produced prior to 1996. Fixed

code uses the same coded signal every time, which is manually programmed by setting
DIP switches for a unique personal code.

If you do not know if your garage door opener is a rolling code or fixed code device, open your
garage door opener’s remote control battery cover. If a panel of DIP switches is present as
shown in the typical remote device shown below, your garage door opener is a fixed code device.
If not, your garage door opener is a rolling code device.

Programming the Lear UGDO™ Transmitter

Depending on your garage door opener manufacturer, Lear UGDO™ provides two easy ways to
program your garage door opener.

1. Rolling Code Garage Door Openers: If your garage door opener is a rolling code device
and do not have a row of dip switches use the “Programming Rolling Code Garage Door
Opener” procedure on page 4.

2. Fixed Code Garage Door Opener: If your garage door opener is a fixed code device and
has a row of dip switches use the “Programming Fixed Code Garage Door Opener”
procedure on page 6.

CAUTION

x Do not use the Lear UGDO™ Transmitter with any garage door opener

that does not have a “stop and reverse” feature. This includes any garage
door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982.

x Read the instructions completely before attempting to program the LEAR

UGDO™ transmitter. Because of the steps involved, it may be helpful to
have another person assist you in programming the transmitter.

x Be sure to keep the original remote control transmitter for use in other

vehicles as well as for future Lear UGDO™ programming. You only
need it for fixed code device programming. It is also recommended that
upon the sale or lease termination of the vehicle, the programmed Lear
UGDO™ buttons should be erased for security reasons. Refer to “Erasing
Lear UGDO™ Buttons” or for assistance, contact Lear UGDO™ at 1­866-57Car2U.

x Make sure that people and objects are clear of the garage door opener or

security device you are programming. When programming a garage door,
it is advised to park outside the garage.
