you to consolidate
the functions of up
to three individual
hand-held transmitters.
It will operate garage
doors and gates, or
with
the accessory package,
other devices controlled
by radio frequency such
as home/office lighting
systems and security
systems.
The transmitter
will learn and transmit the frequencies of most current
transmitters and
is powered by your vehicle’s battery and charging system.
This device complies with Part
15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Do not use the HomeLink” Transmitter with any garage door opener
that does not have
the “stop and reverse” safety feature. This includes any
garage door opener model manufactured before April 1,1982.
Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage door you are
programming!
Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off while programming your
transmitter. Follow these steps to program
up to three channels:
1. If you have previously programmed a HomeLink TM channel, proceed to
Step
2. Otherwise, hold down the two outside buttons on the HomeLink TM
Transmitter until the red light begins to flash rapidly (approximately
20 seconds). Then release the buttons. This procedure initializes the
memory and erases any previous settings for all three channels.
2. Hold the end of your hand-held transmitter against the bottom surface
of the HomeLink” Transmitter
so that you can still see the red light.

or “equalization,” is
70 microseconds (70 p) or 120 microseconds (120 p).
Chrome and metal tapes are 70 ~1 sec and standard iron tapes are
120 p sec. Your tape player will adjust automatically for either type
of cassette tape.
