The HomeLink
universal
transceiver built into your vehicle
canbeprogrammedtooperateupto
three remotely controlled devices
around your home, such as garage
doors, lighting, or home security
systems. Refer to the safety information that
came with your garage door opener
to test that the safety features are
f unctioning properly. If you do not
have this information, contact the
manuf acturer of the equipment.
Bef ore programming HomeLink to a
garage door or gate opener, make
sure that people and objects are out
of thewayof thedevicetoprevent
potential injury or damage.
When programming a garage door
opener, park just outside the garage.
Bef ore programming your
HomeLink to operate a garage door
opener, conf irm that the opener has
an external entrapment protection
system, such as an ‘‘electronic eye,’’
or other saf ety and reverse stop
f eatures.
If your garage door was
manuf actured bef ore April 1, 1982,
you may not be able to program
HomeLink to operate it. These units
do not have safety features that
cause the motor to stop and reverse
it if an obstacle is detected during
closing, increasing the risk of injury. Do not use HomeLink with any
garage door opener that lacks saf ety
stop and reverse f eatures.
Units manuf actured between April 1,
1982 and January 1, 1993 may be
equipped with saf ety stop and
reverse f eatures. If your unit does
not have an external entrapment
protection system, an easy test to
conf irm the f unction and
perf ormance of the saf ety stop and
reverse f eature is to lay a 2 4
under the closing door. The door
should stop and reverse upon
contacting the piece of wood.
As an additional safety feature,
garage door openers manuf actured
af ter January 1, 1993 are required to
have external entrapment protection
systems, such as an electronic eye,
which detect an object obstructing
the door.

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 is 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 it sends and
receives the correct codes.Make sure you have properly
completed the ‘‘Training
HomeLink’’ procedure.
Find the ‘‘learn’’ button on your
garage door opener unit. The
location will vary, depending on
the manufacturer.
Repeat these steps to train the
other two HomeLink buttons to
operate any other compatible
remotely controlled devices
around your home (lighting,
automatic gate, security system,
etc.).
Test the HomeLink button by
pushing it f or about 1 second.
If the button works,
programming is complete.
If the button does not work go
to step 5.
PushandholdtheHomeLink
button f or a f ew seconds, then
watch the red indicator on
HomeLink.
If the indicator stays on, press
the HomeLink button again; the
remotely controlled device
should operate.
If the indicator f lashes rapidly
f or 2 seconds then stays on, you
have a rolling code transmitter:
go to ‘‘Training with a Rolling
Code System.’’ 2.
