WARNING
.Do not use HomeLink®Universal
Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and
reverse features as required by
federal safety standards. (These
standards became effective for
opener models manufactured after
April 1, 1982.) A garage door opener
which cannot detect an object in the
path of a closing garage door and
then automatically stop and reverse,
does not meet current federal safety
standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features in-
creases the risk of serious injury or
death.
. During programming procedure,
your garage door or security gate
may open or close. Make sure that
people and objects are clear of the
garage door, gate, etc. that you are
programming.
. Your vehicle’s engine should be
turned off while programming
HomeLink
®Universal Transceiver.
PROGRAMMING HomeLink®
To program your HomeLink®Transceiver to
operate a garage door, gate, or entry door
opener, home or office lighting, you need to be
at the same location as the device. Note:
Garage door openers (manufactured after
1996) have “rolling code protection”. To pro-
gram a garage door opener equipped with
“rolling code protection”; you will need to use
a ladder to get up to the garage door opener
motor to be able to access the “smart or learn”
program button.
1. To begin, push and hold the two outer HomeLink®buttons (to clear the memory)
until the indicator light
*Ablinks (after 20
seconds) . Release both buttons.
2. Position the end of the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 inches (26 mm to 76 mm) away from
the HomeLink
®surface.
3. Using both hands, simultaneously push andhold both the HomeLink®button you want to
program and the hand-held transmitter
button.
DO NOT release the buttons until step 4 has
been completed.
4. Hold down both buttons until the indicator light on HomeLink
®flashes, changing from a
“slow blink” to a “rapid blink”. This could
take up to 90 seconds. When the indicator
light blinks rapidly, both buttons may be
released. The rapidly flashing light indicates
successful programming. To activate the
garage door or other programmed device,
push and hold the programmed HomeLink
®
button - releasing when the device begins to
activate.
5. If the indicator light on HomeLink
®blinks
rapidly for two seconds and then turns solid,
HomeLink
®has picked up a “rolling code”
garage door opener signal. You will need to
proceed with the next steps to train
HomeLink
®, completing the programming
may require a ladder and another person
for convenience.
6. Push and release the program button located on the garage door opener’s motor
to activate the “training mode”. This button is
usually located near the antenna wire that
hangs down from the motor. If the wire
originates from under a light lens, you will
need to remove the lens to access the
training button.
NOTE:
Once you have pushed and released
the training button on the garage door
opener’s motor and the “training light”
is lit, you have 30 seconds in which to
perform step 7. For convenience, use
the help of a second person to assist
when performing this step.
7. Quickly (within 30 seconds of pushing and releasing the garage door opener training
button) and firmly push and release the HomeLink
®button you’ve just programmed.
Push and release the HomeLink®button up
to three times to complete the training.
8. Your HomeLink
®button should now be
programmed. To program the remaining
HomeLink
®buttons for additional door or
gate openers, follow steps 2 through 8 only.
NOTE:
Do not repeat step 1 unless you want to
“clear” all previously programmed
HomeLink
®buttons.
If you have any questions or are having difficulty
programming your HomeLink
®buttons, please
refer to the HomeLink®web site at: www.
homelink.com or call 1-800-355-3515.
PROGRAMMING HomeLink®FOR
CANADIAN CUSTOMERS

hand-held transmitters to stop transmitting after
2 seconds. To program your hand-held trans-
mitter to HomeLink
®, continue to push and hold
the HomeLink®button (note steps 2 through 4
under “Programming HomeLink®”) while you
push and re-push (“cycle”) your hand-held
transmitter every 2 seconds until the indicator
light flashes rapidly (indicating successful pro-
gramming) .
