Your vehicle should be parked outside of the garage
when programming.
Begin Programming
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position.
2. Hold the battery side of the hand-held transmitter
away from the HomeLink t button you wish to program.
Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 in (3 to 8 cm) away
from the HomeLink t button you wish to program while
keeping the indicator light in view.
3. Simultaneously press and hold both the chosen
HomeLink t button and the hand-held transmitter button
until the HomeLink t indicator changes from a slow to a
rapidly blinking light, then release both the HomeLink t
and hand-held transmitter buttons. Watch for the HomeLink t indicator to change flash rates.
When it changes, it is programmed. It may take up to 30
seconds, or longer in rare cases. The garage door may
open and close while you train.
NOTE: Some gate operators and garage door openers
may require you to replace Step 3 with procedures noted
in the ªGate Operator/Canadian Programmingº section.
NOTE: After training a HomeLink t channel, if the
garage door does not operate with HomeLink t and the
garage door opener was manufactured after 1995, the
garage door opener may have a rolling code. If so,
proceed to Step 5 ªProgramming A Rolling Code Sys-
tem.º
4. Press and hold the just-trained HomeLink t button
and observe the indicator light. UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 145

NOTE: There are 30 seconds in which to initiate the next
step after the ªLearnº button has been pressed.
7. Return to the vehicle and press the programmed
HomeLink t button twice (holding the button for two
seconds each time). If the device is plugged in and
activates, programming is complete.
If the device does not activate, press the button a third
time (for two seconds) to complete the training.
If you have any problems, or require assistance, please
call toll-free 1±800±355±3515 or, on the Internet at
www.HomeLink.com for information or assistance.
To program the remaining two HomeLink t buttons,
repeat each step for each remaining button. DO NOT
erase the channels. Using HomeLink t
To operate, simply press and release the programmed
HomeLink t button. Activation will now occur for the
trained device (i.e., garage door opener, gate operator,
security system, entry door lock, home/office lighting,
etc. The hand-held transmitter of the device may also be
used at any time.
Reprogramming a Single Homelink t Button
To reprogram a channel that has been previously trained,
follow these steps:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position.
2. Press and hold the desired HomeLink t button until
the indicator light begins to flash after 20 seconds. Do not

GATE OPERATOR/CANADIAN PROGRAMMING
Canadian radio frequency laws require transmitter sig-
nals to time-out (or quit) after several seconds of trans-
mission ± which may not be long enough for HomeLink t
to pick up the signal during programming. Similar to this
Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are designed to
time-out in the same manner.
It may be helpful to unplug the device during the cycling
process to prevent possible overheating of the garage
door or gate motor.
If you are having difficulties programming a garage door
opener or a gate operator, replace ªProgramming
HomeLink t º Step 3, with the following:
3. Continue to press and hold the HomeLink t button
while you press and release - every two seconds
(ªcycleº) your hand-held transmitter until HomeLink t has successfully accepted the frequency signal. The
indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly when
fully trained.
If you unplugged the device for training, plug it back in
at this time.
Then proceed with Step 4 under ªProgramming
HomeLink t ,º earlier in this section.
SECURITY
It is advised to erase all channels before you sell or turn
in your vehicle.
To do this, press and hold the two outside buttons for 20
seconds until the red indicator flashes. Note that all
channels will be erased. Individual channels cannot be
erased.
The HomeLink t Universal Transceiver is disabled when
the Vehicle Security Alarm is active.148 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE
