UNIVERSAL GARAGE DOOR OPENER
(HomeLink®)
Programming HomeLink®
Begin Programming• The HomeLink®buttons are located in
the sun visor.
• Erase all channels before you begin programming 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 hand-held 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
hand-held transmitter button until the HomeLink®indicator flash rate changes
from a slow to a rapidly blinking light, then release both the HomeLink®and the
hand-held transmitter buttons. This may take up to 30 seconds, or longer in rare
cases.
• Press and hold the just-programmed HomeLink
®button; if the indicator light stays
on constantly, programming is complete and the garage door should open.
NOTE:
• 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.
• If you are having difficulty programming 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 “programming” 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).
• Firmly press and release the “learn” or “programming” button. The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer. Within 30 seconds, return to the vehicle
and press the programmed HomeLink
®button twice (holding the button for two
seconds each time). If the device is plugged in and activates, programming is
complete.
• If the device does not activate, press the button a third time (for two seconds) to complete the programming.
Using HomeLink
®
• To operate, simply press and release the programmed HomeLink®button and the
programmed device will operate.
• Refer to your Owner’s Manual on the DVD for further details. If you have any problems programming HomeLink
®, or require assistance, please call toll-free
1–800–355–3515 or, on the Internet, at www.HomeLink.com.
WARNING!
• Your motorized door or gate will open and close while you are programming the universal transceiver. Do not program the transceiver if people or pets are
in the path of the door or gate.
• Do not run your vehicle in a closed garage or confined area while programming the transceiver. Exhaust gas from your vehicle contains Carbon
Monoxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless. Carbon Monoxide is
poisonous when inhaled and can cause you and others to be severely injured
or killed.
