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 you have problems with training
the HomeLink Universal
Transmitter, or would like
inf ormation on home products that
can be operated by the transmitter,
call (800) 355-3515. On the Internet,
go to www.homelink.jci.com. Always ref er to the operating
instructions and saf ety inf ormation
that came with your garage door
opener or other equipment you
intend to operate with the HomeLink

equipment.
If you are training the transmitter to
operate a garage door or gate, it is
recommended that you unplug the
motor f or that device during training.
Repeatedly pressing the remote
