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
Universal Transceiver. If you do not
have this inf ormation, you should
contact the manuf acturer of the
equipment.
While training or using HomeLink,
make sure you have a clear view of
the garage door or gate, and that no
one will be injured by its movement.The HomeLink transceiver stores
the code in a permanent memory.
There should be no need to retrain
HomeLink if your car’s battery goes
dead or is disconnected.
If your garage door opener was
manuf actured bef ore April 1982, you
may not be able to program
HomeLink to operate it. Garage door
openers manuf actured bef ore that
date do not have a safety feature that
causes them to stop and reverse if an
obstacle is detected during closing,
increasing the risk of injury. If you
have questions, call (800) 355-3515.
If you are training HomeLink 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
control button could burn out the
motor.
If you have problems with training
the HomeLink Universal Transceiver,
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.
com. The HomeLink Universal
Transceiver built into your vehicle
canbeprogrammedtooperate
remotely-controlled devices around
your home, such as garage doors,
lighting, or home security systems. It
can replace up to three remote
transmitters.

If you are training the second or
third buttons, go directly to Step 1. Unplug the garage door opener
motor f rom the house current.
Bef ore you can use HomeLink to
operate devices around your home, it
must ‘‘learn’’ the proper codes. For
example, to train HomeLink to open
and close the garage door:
If you just took
delivery of your vehicle and have not
trained any of the buttons in
HomeLink bef ore, you should erase
any previously learned codes bef ore
training the f irst button. To do this,
press and hold the two outside
buttons on the HomeLink
transceiver for about 20 seconds,
until the red light f lashes. Release
the buttons, then proceed to Step 1.
Holdtheendof thegaragedoor
opener remote control 2 to 5
inches f rom HomeLink. Make
sure you are not blocking your
view of the red light in HomeLink. Select the HomeLink button you
want to train.
Press the button on the remote
control and the button on
HomeLink at the same time. Hold
down both buttons.

Canadian Owners:
The remote control you are training
from may stop transmitting after two
seconds. This is not long enough f or
HomeLink to learn the code. Release
and press the button on the remote
control every two seconds until
HomeLink has learned the code.For security purposes, newer garage
door opening systems use a ‘‘rolling’’
or variable code. Inf ormation f rom
the remote control and the garage
door opener are needed bef ore
HomeLink can operate the garage
door opener.
The ‘‘Training HomeLink’’
procedure trains HomeLink to the
proper garage door opener code.
The f ollowing procedure
synchronizes HomeLink to the
garage door opener so they send and
receive the correct codes.
The red light in HomeLink should
begin f lashing. It will f lash slowly
at first, then rapidly.
When the red light f lashes rapidly,
release both buttons. HomeLink
should have learned the code from
the remote control.
Plug in the garage door opener
motor, then test the HomeLink
transceiver button by pushing it. It
should operate the garage door.
If the button does not work, repeat
this procedure to train it again. If it
still does not work, you may have a variable or rolling code garage
door opener. Test this by pressing
and holding the HomeLink
transceiver button you just trained.
If the red light blinks f or two
seconds,thenstayson,youhavea
rolling code garage door opener.
You may be able to verify this with
the manufacturer’s documentation.
Go to ‘‘Training With a Rolling
Code System.’’
Repeat these steps to train the
other two HomeLink buttons to
operate any other remotely-
controlled devices around your
home (lighting, automatic gate,
security system, etc.).
