Synchronize keyless entry

The manual for a 2003 Tahoe I bought used states that after changing the battery in the keyless entry unit, the unit must be synchronized. Cannot find any reference in the manual for how to do this. Not listed in the otherwise most helpful index, and not part of the battery-changing instructions, except that it has to be done. Can anyone tell me how to do this? Don't want to change the battery and end up with a useless device. Any help greatly appreciated.
