96 Disco (US) remote "recalibration"

Hi all. Got the door handle ('96 Disco US with alarm, btw thanks for the
part number Richard @ Beamends, saved me some $$) and installed it. Now
trying to see if the remote provided with the vehicle is correct. I have a
new battery in the remote and I remember something in the newsgroup a while
back about how to recalibrate or resynchronize the remote to the vehicle.
Something along the lines of lock with key, unlock with key, hit a button on
the remote four times? I tried to Google the group but my Google attempt
wasn't successful.
TIA,
C R
