Programming HomeLink®
Begin Programming
• The HomeLink® buttons are located in theheadliner.
• Erase all channels before you begin training by holding the two outside buttons for up to
20 seconds until the red indicator flashes.
• Park your vehicle outside of the garage and turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN
position.
• Place the handheld transmitter 1 to 3 in (3 to 8 cm) from the HomeLink® buttons while keeping the indicator light in view.
• Simultaneously, press and hold both the chosen HomeLink® button and the handheld transmitter button until the HomeLink® indicator flash rate changes from a slow to a
rapidly blinking light, then release both the HomeLink® and the handheld transmitter
buttons. This may take up to 30 seconds, or longer in rare cases.
• Press and hold the just-trained HomeLink® button; if the indicator light stays on constantly, programming is complete and the garage door should open.
WARNING!
• Your motorized door or gate will open and close while you are training the universal transceiver. Do not train the transceiver if people or pets are in the path
of the door or gate. Only use this transceiver with a garage door opener that has a
“stop and reverse” feature as required by Federal safety standards. This includes
most garage door opener models manufactured after 1982. Do not use a garage
door opener without these safety features. Call toll-free 1–800–355–3515 or, on
the Internet, at www.HomeLink.com for safety information or assistance.
• Vehicle exhaust contains Carbon Monoxide (CO), a dangerous gas. Do not run your vehicle in the garage while training the transceiver. Exhaust gas can cause serious
injury or death.
NOTE: If you are having difficulty training your HomeLink® and your garage door opener
was manufactured after 1995, you may have a rolling code. Follow the steps below for
Programming A Rolling Code System.
Programming A Rolling Code System
• At the garage door opener motor (in the garage), locate the “learn” or “training” button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the garage door
opener motor (it is not the button normally used to open and close the door).
