obstacle is detected during closing,
increasing the risk of injury.

any previously learned codes bef ore
training the first button.

outside buttons on the HomeLink
transceiver for about 20 seconds, or
until the red light f lashes. Release
the buttons, then proceed to Step 1.

third buttons, go directly to Step 1.
Always ref er to the opening
instructions and saf ety inf ormation
