HOMELINKTUNIVERSAL
TRANSMITTER (IF EQUIPPED)
The HomeLinktUniversal
Transmitter, located underneath
the driver's visor, provides a
convenient way to replace up to
three hand-held transmitters with
a single built-in device. This
feature will learn the radio
frequency codes of most current
transmitters to operate garage
doors 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 HomeLinkt
Universal 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.

hand-held transmitter control and
the desired channel control on the
HomeLinktUniversal Transmitter.
Do not release the controls until

indicates successful programming
of the new frequency signal.
5. Follow steps 2 through 4 to
program the remaining two
channels.
If you do not successfully program
the HomeLinktUniversal
Transmitter after repeated
attempts, refer toTraining a
rolling codewhich follows or call
toll-free customer assistance:

of these hand-held transmitters:
²continue to hold the control on
the HomeLinktUniversal
Transmitter
²re-press the hand-held
transmitter every two seconds

Universal Transmitter
Once programmed, the HomeLinkt
Universal Transmitter can be used

Training a rolling code system
Rolling code systems (garage door
openers which are ªcode

²The hand-held transmitter
appears to program the
HomeLinktUniversal
Transmitter but does not
activate the garage door.
²The garage door opener was
manufactured after 1995.
Follow these steps to train a
garage door with the rolling code
feature:
