before April 1, 1982.
Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage
door you are programming!

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.
