Homelink®
Universal remote control
Applies to veh icles: wit h Home link® unive rsa l rem ote cont rol
General information
The Homelink® feature can learn up to three radio
frequency codes for most current transmitters used for
operating garage doors, estate gates, home or outdoor
lighting systems, and other devices.
You must first program the Homelink® transmitter before you can
use the system~
page 121, "Programming the Homelink® trans
mitter" .
In order to program the Homelink® transmitte r for devices utili zing
rolling cod e, a second person on a ladder who can safely reach the
garage door opener motor is recommended. It is also necessary to
locate the "learn" button on your garage door opener motor . Refer
to the operating instructions for the opener, as the location and
color of this button may vary by manufacturer .
You can still use the original remote control for the device at any
time .
& WARNING
• Never use the Homelink"" transmitter with any garage door
opener that does have not the safety stop and reverse feature as
required by federal safety standards. This includes any garage
door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982.
• A garage door opener which cannot detect an object, signaling
the door to stop and reverse does not meet current federal safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these features
increases risk of serious injury or death .
Con tro ls and eq uip
ment
& WARNING (continued)
• For safety reasons never release the parking brake or start the
engine while anyone is standing in front of the vehicle.
• A garage door or an estate gate may sometimes be set in
motion when the Homelink® remote control is being
programmed .
If the device is repeatedly activated, this can over
strain motor and damage its electrical components -an over
heated motor is a fire hazard!
• To avoid possible injuries or property damage, please always
make absolutely certain that no persons or objects are located in
the range of motion of any equipment being operated. •
