HomeLink@ Transmitter
HomeLink@ , a combined universal transmitter and
receiver, provides a way to replace up to three
hand-held transmitters used to activate devices such as
gate operators, garage door openers, entry door
locks, security systems and home lighting. Additional
HomeLink@ information can be found on the internet at
www.homelink.com or by calling 1-800-355-351
5.
If your vehicle is equipped with the HomeLink@
Transmitter, it complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation. This device complies with
RSS-210 of
Industry Canada.
Operation is subject
to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and
(2) this
device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
Changes and modifications to this system by other than
an authorized service facility could void authorization
to use this equipment.
Programming the HomeLink@
Transmitter
Do not use the HomeLink@ Transmitter with any garage
door opener that does not have the “stop and reverse”
feature. This includes any garage door opener model
manufactured before April 1, 1982.
Keep the original transmitter for use in other vehicles as
well as for future HomeLink@ programming. It is also
recommended that upon the sale of the vehicle,
the programmed HomeLink@ buttons should be erased
for security purposes. Refer to “Erasing HomeLink@
Buttons” or, for assistance, contact HomeLink@ on the
internet at: www.homelink.com or by calling
Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage
door or gate operator you are programming. When
programming a garage door, it is advised to park outside
of the garage.

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. Press and hold down the two outside buttons,
releasing only when the indicator light begins
to
flash, after 20 seconds. Do not hold down the
buttons for longer than
30 seconds and do not
repeat this step to program a second and/or third
transmitter to the remaining two HomeLink@
buttons.
2. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter
about
1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the
HomeLink@ buttons while keeping the indicator light
in view.
button on HomeLink@ and the hand-held
transmitter button.
Do not release the buttons until
Step
4 has been completed.
Some entry gates and garage door openers may
require you to substitute Step
3 with the procedure
noted in “Gate Operator and Canadian
Programming” later in this section.
4. The indicator light will flash slowly at first and then
rapidly after HomeLink@ successfully receives the
frequency signal from the hand-held transmitter. Release both buttons.
3. Simultaneously press and hold both the desired
5. Press and hold the newly-trained HomeLink@
button and observe the indicator light.
If the indicator light stays on constantly,
programming is complete and your device should
activate when the HomeLink@ button is pressed and
released.
To program the remaining two HomeLink@ buttons,
begin with Step
2 under “Programming
HomeLink@
.” Do not repeat Step 1 as this will
erase all of the programmed channels.
If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds
and then turns to a constant light, continue with
Steps
6 through 8 following to complete the
programming of a rolling-code equipped device
(most commonly, a garage door opener).
6. At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head
unit) in the garage, locate the “Learn’’ or “Smart”
button. This can usually be found where the hanging
antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit.
7. Firmly press and release the “Learn” or “Smart”
button. The name and color of the button may
vary by manufacturer.
You will have
30 seconds to start Step 8.

8. Return to the vehicle. Firmly press and hold the
programmed HomeLink@ button for two seconds,
then release. Repeat the press/hold/release
sequence a second time, and depending on the
brand of the garage door opener (or other rolling
code device), repeat this sequence a third time
to complete the programming.
HomeLink@ should now activate your rolling code
equipped device.
To program the remaining two HomeLink@ buttons,
begin with Step
2 of “Programming HomeLink@ .” Do not
repeat Step
1.
Gate Operator and Canadian
Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter
signals
to “time out” or quit after several seconds of
transmission. This may not be long enough for
HomeLink@ to pick up the signal during programming.
Similarly, some U.S. gate operators are manufactured
to
“time out” in the same manner.
If you live in Canada, or you are having difficulty
programming a gate operator by using the
“Programming HomeLink@
” procedures (regardless of
where you live), replace Step
3 under “Programming
HomeLink@
” with the following: Continue
to press and hold the HomeLink@ button while
you press and release every two seconds (cycle) your
hand-held transmitter until the frequency signal has been
successfully accepted by HomeLink@
. The indicator
light will flash slowly at first and then rapidly. Proceed
with Step
4 under “Programming HomeLink@” to
complete.
Using HomeLink@
Press and hold the appropriate HomeLink@ button for
at least half of a second. The indicator light will come on
while the signal
is being transmitted.
Erasing HomeLink@ Buttons
To erase programming from the three buttons do the
following:
1. Press and hold down the two outside buttons until
2. Release both buttons. Do not hold for longer than
HomeLink@ is now in the train (learning) mode and can
be programmed at any time beginning with Step
2
under “Programming HomeLink@ .”
Individual buttons can not be erased, but they can be
reprogrammed. See “Reprogramming a Single
HomeLink@ Button” next. the

20 seconds. While
still holding the HomeLinkO
button, proceed with Step
2 under “Programming
HomeLinka
.”
Resetting Defaults
To reset HomeLink@ to default settings do the following:
1. Hold down the two outside buttons for about
20 seconds until the indicator light begins to flash.
2. Continue to hold both buttons until the HomeLink@
indicator light turns
off.
3. Release both buttons.
