If the indicator light is solid/continuous, training is complete and your device should activate when the HomeLink
button is pressed and released.
If the indicator light blinks rapidly for 2 seconds and then turns a solid/continuous light, proceed with the following
training instructions for a rolling code device. A second person may make the following steps quicker and easier. Please
use a ladder or other device. Do not stand on your vehicle to perform the next steps.
5. At the garage door opener receiver (motorhead unit) in the garage, locate the "learn" or "smart" button (usually near
where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the unit). If there is difficulty locating the training button, reference the
garage door opener's manual or contact us toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.com
).
6. Press and release the "learn" or "smart" button (the name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer).
NOTE
Once the button is pressed, there are 30 seconds in which to initiate the next step.
7. Return to the vehicle and firmly press and hold the trained HomeLink button for two seconds and release. Repeat the
"press/hold/release" sequence up to 3 times to complete the training process.
To train additional HomeLink buttons, begin with step two.
Programming the transceiver for the first time (Canadian residents)
1. For first time training, press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons releasing only when the HomeLink indicator
light begins to flash after 20 seconds. (Do not perform this step when training the additional HomeLink buttons.)
2. Position the hand -held transmitter 1-3 inches (2.5-7.5 cm) away from the HomeLink surface (located on your) keeping
the HomeLink indicator light in view.
3. Using both hands, simultaneously press and hold both the desired HomeLink button and hand held transmitter button.
During programming, your handheld transmitter may automatically stop transmitting. Continue to press and hold the
desired HomeLink button while you press and re-press ("cycle") your handheld transmitter every two seconds until the
frequency signal has been learned. The indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly after several seconds upon
successful training. DO NOT release until the HomeLink indicator light flashes slowly and then rapidly. When the
indicator light flashes rapidly, both buttons may be released. (The rapid flashing indicates successful training.)

Rolling Code Programming
Rolling code garage door openers that are "code-protected" and manufactured after 1996 may be determined by the-
following:
Reference the garage door opener owner's manual for verification.
The handheld transmitter appears to program the HomeLink Universal Transceiver but does not activate the garage
door.
Press and hold the trained HomeLink button. The garage door opener has the rolling code feature if the indicator light
flashes rapidly and then turns solid after 2 seconds.
To train a garage door with the rolling code feature, follow these instructions (the aid of a second person may make the
training quicker and easier):
1. Locate the training button on the garage door opener motor head unit. Exact location and color of the button may vary
by garage door opener brand. If there is difficulty locating the training button, reference the garage door opener owner's
manual or please visit our Web site at www.homelink.com
.
2. Press the training button on the garage door opener motor head unit (which activates the "training light").
NOTE
Following step 2, there are 30 seconds in which to initiate step 3.
3. Firmly press and release the programmed HomeLink® button. Press and release the HomeLink button a second time
to complete the training process. (Some garage door openers may require

Home Link® Universal Transceiver (option)
you to do this procedure a third time to complete the training.)
The garage door opener should now recognize the HomeLink Wireless Control System. The remaining two buttons may
now be trained if this has not previously been done. Refer to the Programming portion of this text. The HomeLink
Wireless Control System (once programmed) or the original handheld transmitter may be used to activate the garage
door. In the event that there are still difficulties in programming the HomeLink Wireless Control System, please visit our
