HomeLink Universal Transmitter

On EX model
The HomeLink Universal Transmit- ter built into your vehicle can be
programmed to operate remotely-controlled devices around your home,
such as garage doors, lighting, or
home security systems. It can
replace up to three remote
transmitters.

Customer Assistance

If you have problems with training
the HomeLink Universal
Transmitter, or would like information on home products that
can be operated by the transmitter,
call (800) 355-3515.
Important Safety Precautions
Always refer to the operating instruc- tions and safety information thatcame with your garage door opener
or other equipment you intend to
operate with the HomeLink
Universal Transmitter. If you do not
have this information, you should contact the manufacturer of the
equipment.
While training or using the transmitter, make sure you have a
clear view of the garage door or gate,and that no one will be injured by its
movement.
If your garage door opener was
manufactured before April 1982, you
may not be able to program the
HomeLink Universal Transmitter to operate it. Garage door openers
manufactured before that date do
not have a safety feature that causes
them to stop and reverse if an obstacle is detected during closing,
increasing the risk of injury. If you
have questions, call (800) 355-3515. Training the Transmitter
Before you can use the HomeLink
Universal Transmitter to operate devices around your home, it must
"learn" the proper codes. Forexample, to train the transmitter to
open and close the garage door:

HomeLink Universal Transmitter

1. This step erases all previously learned
codes. Perform this step before
training the transmitter for the very

first time. Press and hold the two
outside buttons until the red light
in the transmitter flashes (approximately 20 seconds).
Release the buttons.
2. Hold the end of the garage door opener remote control 1 to 3
inches from the HomeLink
transmitter. Make sure you are
not blocking your view of the redlight in the transmitter.
3. Select the transmitter button you want to train.
4. Press the button on the remote control and the button on the
transmitter at the same time. Holddown both buttons. 5. The red light in the transmitter
should begin flashing. It will flashslowly at first, then rapidly.
6. When the red light flashes rapidly, release both buttons. The
transmitter should have learned
the code from the remote control.
7. Test the transmitter button by pushing it. It should operate the
garage door.
8. Repeat these steps to train the other two transmitter buttons to
operate any other remotely-
controlled devices around your
home (lighting, automatic gate, security system, etc.).
Canadian Owners:

The remote control you are training from may stop transmitting after twoseconds. This is not long enough for
the HomeLink transmitter to learn
the code. Release and press the
button on the remote control every
two seconds until the transmitter has
learned the code.
If you are programming the
transmitter to operate a garage door or gate, it is recommended that you
unplug the motor for that device during programming. Repeatedly
pressing the remote control button could burn out the motor.
The HomeLink transmitter stores the code in a permanent memory.
There should be no need to retrain the transmitter if your vehicle's
battery goes dead or is disconnected.

To train an already programmed transmitter button to operate a new
device:

1. Select the transmitter button you want to train.
2. Press and hold the transmitter button until the red light begins to
flash slowly (approximately 20
seconds).

3. While continuing to hold the transmitter button, place the
remote control for the device 1 to 3 inches from the HomeLink

4. Press and hold the button on the remote control. Hold both buttons
until the red light begins to flash
rapidly.
5. Release both buttons. The transmitter, should now be trained
to operate the device. Training With a Rolling Code
System
For security purposes, newer garage
door opening systems use a "rolling"
or variable code. If you know that
your garage door opener has a rolling code, or you have been
unable to train the transmitter afterseveral attempts, use the following
procedure. You will need someone to
help you. TRAINING
BUTTON
GARAGE DOOR
OPENER MOTOR/
CONTROL UNIT
1. Make sure you have properly completed the "Training the
Transmitter" procedure.
2. Find the 'Training" button on your garage door opener motor/controlunit. The location will vary,
depending on the manufacturer.
The manufacturer's documentation may help.
