- I have had similar problems with my Turbo. I would suggest that you try
- relearning the commands that don't work. Try varying the distance between the
- units and the time you depress the button on the sending unit. (This is
- especially important because it will result in the command being sent just once
- by the Turbo instead of being endlessly repeated.)
-
- So far I've been able to teach my Turbo everything I wanted to, so I suspect
- you will get it after some tinkering. The manual also talks about this to some
- extent.
-
- Good luck!
