HomeLink
® and the HomeLink
® house are
registered trademarks of Johnson
Controls, Inc.
The HomeLink
® Wireless Control System
provides a convenient way to replace up to
three hand-held radio-frequency (RF)
transmitters used to activate devices such
as gate operators, garage door openers,
entry door locks, security systems, even
home lighting. Additional HomeLink
® infor-
mation can be found on the Internet at
www.homelink.com
or by calling 1-800-
355-3515.
Before programming HomeLink
® to a
garage door opener or gate operator, make
sure that people and objects are out of the
way of the device to prevent potential harm
or damage. When programming a garage
door opener, it is advised to park outside of
the garage. Do not use HomeLink® with
any garage door opener that lacks safety
stop and reverse features as required by
U.S. federal safety standards (this includesany garage door opener model manufac-
tured before April 1, 1982). A garage door
that cannot detect an object – signaling the
door to stop and reverse – does not meet
current U.S. federal safety standards. For
more information, contact HomeLink
® at
www.homelink.com
or by calling 1-800-
355-3515.
Retain the original transmitter of the RF
device you are programming for use in
other vehicles as well as for future
HomeLink
® programming. It is also sug-
gested that upon the sale of the vehicle,
the programmed HomeLink
® buttons be
erased for security purposes. Refer to
“Programming HomeLink
®” (step 1) only)
or, for assistance, contact HomeLink
® at
www.homelink.com
or by calling 1-800-
355-3515.
Programming HomeLink
®
NOTE:
Some vehicles may require the ignition
switch to be turned to the second (or
“accessories”) position or the “on” position
for programming and/or operation of
HomeLink
®. It is also recommended that a
new battery be placed in the hand-held
transmitter of the device being pro-
grammed to HomeLink
® for quicker train-
ing and accurate transmission of the radio-
frequency signal. Do not repeat “Program-
ming HomeLink
®” – step 1) to train addi-
tional devices to a second or thirdHomeLink
® button. Begin with “Program-
ming HomeLink
®” – step 2).
66J050
1) Press and hold the two outer
HomeLink
® buttons (buttons one and
three) – releasing only when the indica-
tor light begins to flash (after 20 sec-
onds). Do not hold the buttons for
longer than 30 seconds and do not
repeat step 1) to program a second
and/or third hand-held transmitter to the
remaining two HomeLink
® buttons.
2) Position the end of your hand-held
transmitter 5–14 cm (1–3 inches) away
from the HomeLink
® button you wish to
program while keeping the indicator
light in view.
3) Simultaneously press and hold both the
chosen HomeLink® and hand-held
transmitter buttons. Do not release the
buttons until step 4) has been com-
pleted.

OTHER CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT

Gate Operator / Canadian Program-
mingCanadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter signals to “time-out” (or quit)
after several seconds of transmission –
which may not be long enough for
HomeLink
® to pick up the signal during
programming. Similar to this Canadian law,
some U.S. gate operators are designed to
“time-out” in the same manner.
If you live in Canada or you are having diffi-
culties programming a gate operator by
using the Programming procedures
(regardless of where you live), replace
“Programming HomeLink
®” step 3) with
the following:
NOTE:
If programming a garage door opener or
gate operator, it is advised to unplug the
device during the “cycling” process to pre-
vent possible overheating.
3) Continue to press and hold the
HomeLink
® button while you press and
release – every two seconds (“cycle”)
your hand-held transmitter until the fre-
quency signal has successfully been
accepted by HomeLink
®. (The indicator
light will flash slowly and then rapidly.)
Proceed with “Programming HomeLink
®”
step 4) to complete.
Using HomeLink
®
To operate, simply press and release the
programmed HomeLink
® button. Activation
will now occur for the trained device (i.e.
garage door opener, gate operator, secu-
rity system, entry door lock, home/office
lighting, etc.). For convenience, the hand-
held transmitter of the device may also be
used at any time. In the event that there
are still programming difficulties or ques-
tions, contact HomeLink
® at
www.homelink.com
or 1-800-355-3515.
Erasing HomeLink
® Buttons
To erase programming from the three but-
tons (individual buttons cannot be erased
but can be “reprogrammed” as outlined
below), follow the step noted:
Press and hold the two outer HomeLink
®
buttons until the indicator light begins to
flash-after 20 seconds. Release both but-
tons. Do not hold for longer that 30 sec-
onds. HomeLink
® is now in the train (or
learning) mode and can be programmed at
any time beginning with “Programming
HomeLink
®” – step 2).
Reprogramming a Single
HomeLink
® Button
To program a device to HomeLink
® using a
HomeLink
® button previously trained, fol-
low these steps:
1) Press and hold the desired HomeLink
®
button. DO NOT release the button.
2) The indicator light will begin to flash
after 20 seconds. Without releasing the
HomeLink
® button, proceed with “Pro-
gramming HomeLink
®” – step 2).
