and gates, and can also control home or office lighting and security
systems (with the available accessory package).
When programming your HomeLinktUniversal Transmitter, you
will be operating the garage door or gate. Be sure that people
and objects are out to the way to prevent potential harm or damage.
Do not use the HomeLinktUniversal Transmitter with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features as required by U.S.
federal safety standards (this includes any garage door opener model
manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door which cannot detect
an object, signaling the door to stop and reverse, does not meet current
U.S. federal safety standards. For more information on this matter, call
toll-free: 1±800±355±3515.
Programming
1. Prepare for programming the
HomeLinktUniversal Transmitter by
erasing all three of the factory
default channels by holding down
the two outside controls until the
red light begins to flash (20-30
seconds). Release both controls.
2. Hold the end of your hand-held
transmitter against the HomeLinkt
Universal Transmitter (located on
your visor) while keeping the red light in view.
3. Using both hands, press the
hand-held transmitter control and
the desired channel control on the
HomeLinktUniversal Transmitter.
Do not release the controls until
step 4 has been completed.
4. Hold down both controls until the
red light begins to flash slowly and
then rapidly. Rapid flashing indicates
successful programming of the new
frequency signal.
5. Follow steps 2 through 4 to program the remaining two channels.

program the HomeLinktUniversal Transmitter.
If you are programming from one of
these hand-held transmitters:
²continue to hold the control on
the HomeLinktUniversal
Transmitter
²re-press the hand-held
transmitter every two seconds
You may have to repeat this function
several times while programming.
Operating the HomeLinkTUniversal Transmitter
Once programmed, the HomeLinkt
Universal Transmitter can be used in
place of hand-held transmitters. To
operate, simply press the
appropriate channel control on the
transmitter (the red light will
illuminate, indicating the signal is
being transmitted).

Rolling code systems (garage door openers which are ªcode protectedº)
may be determined by the following:
²The hand-held transmitter appears to program the HomeLinkt
Universal Transmitter but does not activate the garage door.
²The garage door opener was manufactured after 1995.
