, S3) button until LED2 

illuminates and the buzzer sounds. Release the button.

Step 3:

 Insert both batteries into the transmitter module. The transmitter module will begin transmitting.

Step 4:

 Once Learned, LED2 will flash and the buzzer will sound indicating that the Transmitter Module has been learned. 

Remove the AA batteries from the Transmitter Module, and proceed with the rest of the installation following the 
accessory instructions.
