2-63 Programming the HomeLink Transmitter
Do not use the HomeLink 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.
It is recommended that a new battery be installed in
your hand
-held transmitter for quicker and more
accurate transmission of the radio frequency.
Your vehicle's engine should be turned off while
programming the transmitter. Follow these steps to
program up to three channels:
1. Decide which one of the three channels (one of the
three HomeLink buttons) you want to program.
2. Press and hold the desired button on HomeLink
through Step 3.3. When the HomeLink indicator light begins to blink
slowly (this may take up to 30 seconds), hold the
hand
-held transmitter about 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm)
from HomeLink and then press and hold the transmit
button on the hand
-held transmitter. Continue to
hold both buttons until the indicator light on
HomeLink begins to flash rapidly (this may take
up to 90 seconds).
If you have trouble programming HomeLink, make
sure that you have followed the directions exactly as
described and that the battery in the hand
-held
transmitter is not weak. If you still cannot program it,
move the hand
-held transmitter to the left or right or
forward or backward or flip it upside down. HomeLink
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, refer to ªTraining a Garage Door Opener
with Rolling Codesº later in this section or contact
the manufacturer of HomeLink at 1
-800-355-3515,
or on the internet at www.homelink.com.
Be sure to keep the original hand
-held transmitter in
case you need to erase and reprogram HomeLink.
2-65 Canadian Programming
Canadian Owners: During programming, the
hand
-held transmitter may automatically stop
transmitting after two seconds. In this case, you should
press and hold the HomeLink button (see Steps 2 and 3
under Programming the HomeLink Transmitter) while
you press and repress (cycle) your hand
-held transmitter
every two seconds until HomeLink is trained.
Operating the HomeLink Transmitter
Press and hold the appropriate button on HomeLink for
at least a half of a second. The indicator light will come
on while the signal is being transmitted.
Erasing Channels
To erase all three programmed channels, hold down the
two outside buttons on HomeLink until the indicator
light begins to flash (approximately 20 seconds).
Release both buttons.
Resetting Defaults
To reset HomeLink to default settings, hold down the
two outside buttons on HomeLink until the indicator
light begins to flash (approximately 20 seconds).
Continue to hold the buttons until the HomeLink
indicator light turns off and then release both buttons.

For example, rear seat passengers may listen to a
cassette tape through headphones while the driver listens
to the radio through the front speakers. The rear seat
passengers have control of the volume for each set of
headphones. Be aware that the front seat audio controls
always have priority over the RSA controls. If the front
seat passengers switch the source for the main radio to a
remote source, the RSA will play the same remote
source. The rear speakers will be muted when the RSA
power is turned on. You may operate the RSA functions
even when the main radio is off.
The following functions are controlled by the buttons on
the main radio:
REAR DSPL: When the main radio is turned on, press
this button to turn on the RSA display on the main radio.
Press it again to turn the RSA display off.
