Canadian Owners: During programming, the
hand
-held transmitter may automatically stop
transmitting after one or two seconds. In this case,
you should press and re
-press the button on the
hand
-held transmitter every two seconds without
ever releasing the button on the HomeLink Transmitter.
Release both buttons when the indicator light on the
HomeLink Transmitter begins to flash rapidly.
Operating the Transmitter
Press and hold the appropriate button on the HomeLink
Transmitter. The indicator light comes on while the
signal is being transmitted.
If the hand
-held transmitter appears to program the
HomeLink Transmitter but does not open your garage
door, and if the garage door opener was manufactured
after 1996, the garage door opener may have a ªrolling
codeº system. A rolling code system changes the code
of the garage door opener every time you open or close
the garage door.
To determine if you have this system, press the button
on the HomeLink Transmitter that you have
programmed already. If the indicator light flashes
rapidly for one or two seconds, then turns solid, the
garage door opener has a rolling code system. In a
rolling code system, the garage door motor head unit
must be trained to the HomeLink Transmitter.
Training a Garage Door Opener with a
ªRolling Codeº Feature (If Equipped)
If you have not previously programmed the hand-held
transmitter to the HomeLink Transmitter, see
ªProgramming the Transmitterº listed previously.
If you have completed this programming already, you
now need to train the garage door opener motor head
unit to recognize the HomeLink Transmitter. Refer to
your garage door opener owner's manual for the proper
transmitter training procedure for your garage door
opener brand.
1. Find the training button on the garage door opener
motor head unit. The exact location and color will
vary by garage door opener brand. If you have
difficulty finding the training button, refer to your
garage door opener owner's manual.
Because of the steps involved, it may be helpful to
have another person available to assist you in
programming the transmitter.
2. Press the training button on the garage door
opener motor head unit. An indicator light will
begin to flash when the motor head unit enters the
training mode.
Following this step, you have 30 seconds to
start Step 3.

3. Return to the HomeLink Transmitter in your
vehicle and firmly press and release the HomeLink
Transmitter button you have already programmed for
two or three seconds. Press and release the button
again (you may need to do this step up to three
times) to make sure that the HomeLink Transmitter
has been trained to the garage door opener motor
head unit. Check that the training was successful.
The motor head unit indicator light should no longer
be flashing.
The garage door opener should now recognize the
HomeLink Transmitter. You may either use the
HomeLink Transmitter or the hand
-held transmitter
to open the garage door.
If after following these instructions, you still have
problems training the garage door opener, call the
manufacturer of the unit at 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 (after 20 seconds). Release both buttons.
Accessories
Accessories for the HomeLink Transmitter are available
from the manufacturer of the unit. If you would like
additional information, please call 1
-800-355-3515.
