8. PROGRAMMING All of the transmitters to be programmed into the system should be available This sequence will erase any previously programmed transmitters If a transmitter is lost or stolen go through the programming sequence with the remaining transmitters and the lost one will be erased The programming light LED is located on the side opposite the antenna next to the programming switch 1 Press and release the programming switch 3 times The LED should come on and remain on steady 2 Press button 1 on the first remote The LED should go out and then come back on steady 3 Press button 1 on the second remote The LED should go out and then come back on steady 4 Repeat this for up to 4 remotes total 5 When all of the remotes have been programmed in wait for the LED to go out The system will now operate normally with all of the remotes wire harness SE is Shae eae O N programming x switch LED BATTERY REPLACEMENT Should the transmitter function become weak or erratic the battery in the key chain transmitter may be weak An indication of a weak battery is that the red indicator may have a dim glow to it when either button is pressed If this occurs first check the system by using the second transmitter provided If the second transmitter function properly replace the battery in the defective transmitter by the following method Use a small flat screw driver or knife to pry the case apart next to the chain Carefully separate the

10. will save some time in the long run First determine the best mounting method for the door motors within the doors The pull or push on the original door latch or newer bear claw latch should be as straight as possible Securely mount the motor and route a connecting rod as pertains to your specific situation The receiver should be mounted under the dash up on the fire wall for best access to wiring The kick panel is also another good location for the receiver Connect the CMD 4000 system as is shown in the wiring diagram While the wiring diagram is self explanatory there are several key areas to pay particular attention to First the 12 volt source should be able to supply up to 10 amps if standard door actuators are used or 30 amps if high power solenoids are used It should not be connected to a feed that is shared with a high current device such as a power window power seat or fan Connecting to a source shared by a device such as this may cause improper operation due to the surge current and subsequent voltage drop caused by the high current devices The CMD 4000 should only be connected to a 12 volt battery for power and never solely to a battery charger ADDITIONAL TRANSMITTERS The transmitters supplied with your remote system are serial number coded for security Each unit can learn up to 4 transmitters It is also possible to program one transmitter into more than one receiver If you have more than one vehicle with the CMD 4000
