SYSTEM OPERATING TIPS
 Garage doors, electrical gates, entry doors, etc. will be activated during programming.
To avoid injury, make sure that people and objects are clear of all doors or gates during
programming. Yourvehicle’s engineshouldbeturned offwhile programming the
HomeLink Transceiver.
 To program your HomeLink Transceiver to operate a garage door, gate, or entry door
opener, home or office lighting, you need to be at the same location as the device.
NOTE: Garage dooropeners (manufactured after1996) have“rolling codepro-
tection”. Toprogram agarage dooropener equipped with“rolling codeprotec-
tion”, you will need to use a ladder to get up to the garage door opener motor to
be able to access the “smart or learn” program button.
PROGRAMMING YOUR HOMELINK  UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER (Mirror,
Sun Visor or Overhead Console)
1. To begin, press and hold the two
outer HomeLink buttons (to
clear the memory) until the indi-
cator light blinks slowly (after 20
seconds) . Releasebothbut-
tons.
2. Position theend ofthe hand-
held transmitter 1-3inches
(26-76 mm)away fromthe
HomeLink surface
3. Using bothhands, simultaneously pressandhold both theHomeLink button you
want toprogram andthehand-held transmitter button. DONOT release the
buttons until step 4 has been completed.
4. Hold down both buttons until the indicator light on the HomeLink flashes, changing
from a“slow blink” to a“rapidly flashing blink”.Thiscould takeupto90 seconds.
When the indicator light flashes rapidly, both buttons may be released. The rapidly
flashing light indicates successful programming. To activate the garage door or other
programmed device, press and hold the programmed HomeLink button - releasing
when the device begins to activate.
5. If the indicator light on the HomeLink blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns
solid, HomeLink has picked up a “rolling code” garage door opener signal. You will
need toproceed withthenext steps totrain theHomeLink to complete the
programming which may require a ladder and another person for convenience.
6. Press and release the “smart” or “learn” program button located on the garage door
opener’s motor to activate the “training mode”. This button is usually located near the
antenna wire that hangs down from the motor. If the wire originates from under a light
lens, you will need to remove the lens to access the program button.

door opener’s motor and the “training light” is lit, you have 30 seconds in which to
