Programming the HomeLink
Transmitter
Do not use the transmitter with any garage door opener
that does not have the ªstop and reverseº 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 the HomeLink

Transmitter. Follow these
steps to program up to three channels:
1. If you have not previously programmed a universal
channel, proceed to Step 2. Otherwise, hold down
the two outside buttons on the HomeLink


Transmitter until the indicator 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 the hand
-held transmitter
approximately one to three inches away from the
HomeLink

Transmitter making sure that you can
still see the display.
3. Decide which one of the three channels you want to
program. Using both hands, press the hand
-held
transmitter button and the desired button on the
HomeLink

Transmitter. Continue to hold both
buttons through Step 4.
4. Hold down both buttons until you see the indicator
light on the HomeLink

Transmitter flash, first
slowly then rapidly. The rapid flashing, which could
take up to 90 seconds, indicates that the HomeLink


Transmitter has been programmed. Release both
buttons once the light starts to flash rapidly.

2-56
Canadian Programming: During programming,
your hand
-held transmitter may automatically stop
transmitting. Continue to press and hold the HomeLink

button while you press your hand-held transmitter button
every two seconds until the HomeLink
Transmitter has
been programmed. The indicator light will flash slowly
and then rapidly after several seconds once it has been
successfully programmed.
If you have trouble programming the HomeLink


Transmitter, make sure that you have followed the
directions exactly as described and that the battery in
the hand
-held transmitter is not dead. If you still cannot
program it, flip the hand
-held transmitter end over end
and try again. The HomeLink
Transmitter may not
work with older garage door openers that do not meet
current federal consumer safety standards. If you cannot
program the transmitter after repeated attempts, consult
your dealer.
Be sure to keep the original hand
-held transmitter
in case you need to erase and reprogram the
HomeLink

Transmitter.
Operating the Transmitter
Press and hold the appropriate button on the HomeLink

Transmitter. The house symbol comes on while the signal
is being transmitted.
Note that the effective transmission range of the
HomeLink

Transmitter may differ from the hand-held
transmitter and from one channel to another.
Training a Garage Opener with a ªRolling
Codeº Feature
If you programmed the HomeLink
Transmitter, but the
garage door will not open, and if your garage door opener
was manufactured after 1995, your garage door may have
a security feature that changes the ªcodeº of your garage
door opener every time it is opened or closed.
To determine if your garage door opener has this
ªrolling codeº feature, press the appropriate button
on the HomeLink

Transmitter that was programmed.
If the indicator light flashes rapidly for one to
two seconds, then turns solid, your garage door
opener has this feature.

2-57
To program a garage door opener with the rolling code
feature, do the following:
1. Program your hand
-held transmitter to the
HomeLink
Transmitter by following the steps
provided under ªProgramming the Transmitterº
earlier in this section.
2. Remove the cover panel from the garage door
opener receiver. It is located near the garage door
opener motor.
3. Locate the training button on the garage door
opener receiver. The exact location and color will
vary among brands.
4. Press the training button on the garage door opener
receiver for one to two seconds.
5. Within thirty seconds of pressing the training button,
return to your vehicle and press the programmed
button on the HomeLink

Transmitter until the
indicator light flashes rapidly (about two seconds).
6. Release the button, then press it again to confirm it
was programmed to the garage door opener receiver.
You may now use either the HomeLink

Transmitter
or the hand
-held transmitter to open your garage door.
If you still have difficulty in programming and require
assistance, please call 1
-800-355-3515.
Erasing Channels
To erase all three programmed channels, hold down the
two outside buttons until the indicator light begins to
flash. Individual channels cannot be erased, but can be
reprogrammed using the procedure for programming
the transmitter explained earlier.
