Operation, Safety
1, 2, 3 - Programmable buttons
A - Light-emitting diode for status identificationHomeLinkThe programmable HomeLink replaces up to three
original hand-held transmitters used to operate
various devices (e.g. garage door, gate to the
property, alarm system).
You can program buttons 1 to 3 with a frequency
of an original handheld transmitter.
Warning!
Risk of accident when using the HomeLink if
persons, animals or objects are within the
range of movement of the equipment that is
being operated.
f When using the HomeLink, ensure that no
persons, animals or objects are within the
range of movement of the equipment that is
being operated.
f Observe the safety notes for the original hand-held transmitter.
Preconditions for operating and
programming the HomeLink:
– Ignition is switched on.
– Daytime driving lights/fog lights are switched off.
To operate the respective device:
f Press the appropriate button ( 1, 2 or 3).
Light-emitting diode A lights up during signal
transfer. Note on operation
f
Always use the HomeLink opener in the
direction of travel.
Otherwise, range restrictions cannot be ruled
out.
f Before selling the vehicle, delete the
programmed signals of the HomeLink.
f Please read the instructions for the original
hand-held transmitter to find out whether the
original transmitter is equipped with fixed or
changeable code.
f Always fit new batteries in your hand-held trans-
mitter before programming the transmitter.
Operation, Safety
103
Allocating signals to the buttonsfPlease follow the operating instructions for the
original hand-held transmitter.
Prior to programming the HomeLink for the
first time
The following process dele tes the standard codes
set at the factory. Do not repeat the process if you
program further buttons.
f Keep the two outer buttons 1 and 3
depressed for approx. 20 seconds until light-
emitting diode A begins to flash quickly.
All programmed signals of buttons 1 to 3 are
deleted. Programming HomeLink with fixed code
hand-held transmitters
1. Press and hold the desired button until the
light-emitting diode begins to flash slowly.
You then have approx. 5 minutes to perform
steps 2 and 3.
2. Hold the original hand -held transmitter approx.
0 to 12 in. (0 to 30 cm ) in front of the marked
position (figure) on the vehicle.
3. Press the transmit button on the original hand- held transmitter until the daytime driving lights
flash three times (up to approx. 45 seconds).
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 to allocate other buttons.
Programming HomeLink with changeable
code hand-held transmitters
1. Press and hold the desired button until the light-emitting diode begins to flash slowly.
You then have approx. 5 minutes to perform
steps 2 and 3.
2. Hold the original hand -held transmitter approx.
0 to 12 in. (0 to 30 cm ) in front of the marked
position (figure) on the vehicle.
3. Press the transmit button on the original hand- held transmitter until the daytime driving lights
flash three times (up to approx. 45 seconds).
4. To synchronize the system: Press the programming button on the receiver
for the garage door actuator.
Afterwards, you usually have approx.
30 seconds to initiate step 5. 5. Press the allocated HomeLink button twice.
(With some devices, the button to be allocated
must be pressed a third time in order to
complete the setting process.)
6. Repeat the programming steps to allocate other buttons.
Note
Several attempts with different distances between
the vehicle and the original hand-held transmitter
might be necessary.
The daytime driving lights will flash once the 5
minutes have been exceeded. Programming must
be repeated from the beginning.
f Please consult your authorized Porsche dealer
if you have not been able to successfully
allocate signals for the garage door opener to
the buttons even though you have carefully
followed the instructions in this chapter and
the operating instructions for the original hand-
held transmitter.
Deleting programmed signals of the
HomeLink
(e.g., when selling the vehicle)
Keep the two outer buttons 1 and 3 depressed
for approx. 20 seconds until light-emitting diode A
begins to flash quickly.
All programmed signals of buttons 1 to 3 are
deleted.
