Introduction
The HomeLink 1
Wireless Control System pro-
vides a convenient way to replace up to three hand-held radio-frequency (RF) transmittersused to activate devices such as gate opera-tors, garage door openers, entry door locks,security systems, even home lighting. Addi-tional HomeLink information can be found onthe Internet at www.homelink.com or byphoning the hotline at 1–800–355–3515.
WARNING
• If you use HomeLink to open a garage door or gate, be sure no one is nearthe gate or door while it is in motion.
• When programming a garage dooropener, it is advised to park outside ofthe garage.
• Do not use HomeLink with any garagedoor opener that lacks safety stop andreverse features as required by U.S.federal safety standards (this includesany garage door opener model manu-factured before April 1, 1982). Agarage door that cannot detect anobject - signaling the door to stop andreverse - does not meet current U.S.federal safety standards. For moreinformation, contact HomeLink at:www.homelink.com.
Retain the original transmitter of the RF device you are programming for use in othervehicles as well as for future HomeLink pro-gramming. It is also suggested that upon thesale of the vehicle, the programmed Home-Link buttons be erased for security purposes.Refer to “Resetting HomeLink Buttons” onpage 117.
Programming HomeLink
NOTE
Some vehicles may require the ignition to be switched on or be in the “accessories”position for programming and/or operationof HomeLink. It is also recommended thata new battery be placed in the hand-heldtransmitter of the device being pro-grammed to HomeLink for quicker trainingand accurate transmission of the radio-fre-quency signal. The HomeLink buttonsmust be reset first. When this has beencompleted, Homelink is in learning modeso that you can perform programming.
1. Position the end of your hand-held trans-
mitter 1–3 inches (5–14 cm) away from the HomeLink button you wish to pro-gram while keeping the indicator light inview.
2. Simultaneously press and hold both the chosen HomeLink and hand-held trans-mitter buttons until the HomeLink indica-tor light changes from a slow to a rapidlyblinking light. Now you may release boththe HomeLink and hand-held transmitterbuttons.

NOTE
Some devices may require you to replace this Programming Step 2 with proceduresnoted in the “Gate Operator / CanadianProgramming” section. If the HomeLinkindicator light does not change to a rapidlyblinking light after performing these steps,contact HomeLink at www.homelink.comor by phoning the hotline at1–800–355–3515.
3. Firmly press, hold for five seconds and
release the programmed HomeLink but-
ton up to two separate times to activate the door. If the door does not activate,press and hold the just-trained HomeLinkbutton and observe the indicator light.
• If the indicator light
stays on con-
stantly, programming is complete and your device should activate when the HomeLink button is pressed andreleased.
• If the indicator light blinks
rapidly for
two seconds and then turns to aconstant light continue with “Pro- gramming” steps 4-6 to complete the
programming of a rolling code equip- ped device (most commonly a garagedoor opener). 4. At the garage door opener receiver
(motor-head unit) in the garage, locate the “learn” or “smart” button. This canusually be found where the hangingantenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit.
5. Firmly press and release the “learn” or “smart” button. (The name and color ofthe button may vary by manufacturer.)There are 30 seconds to initiate step 6.
6. Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for two seconds and release the pro-grammed HomeLink button. Repeat the“press/hold/release” sequence a secondtime, and, depending on the brand of thegarage door opener (or other rolling codeequipped device), repeat this sequence athird time to complete the programmingprocess.
HomeLink should now activate your rollingcode equipped device.
Gate Operator/Canadian ProgrammingCanadian radio-frequency laws require trans-mitter signals to “time-out” (or quit) after sev-eral seconds of transmission – which may notbe long enough for HomeLink to pick up thesignal during programming. Similar to thisCanadian law, some U.S. gate operators aredesigned to “time-out” in the same manner. If you live in Canada or you are having diffi-culties programming a gate operator orgarage door opener by using the “Program-ming” procedures,
replace “Programming
HomeLink” step 2 with the following :
• Continue to press and hold the HomeLink button while you
press and release -
every two seconds (“cycle”) your hand-
held transmitter until the HomeLink indi-cator light changes from a slow to a rap-idly blinking light. Now you may releaseboth the HomeLink and hand-held trans-mitter buttons.
Proceed with “Programming” step 3 to com- plete.
Using HomeLink
To operate, simply press and hold the pro- grammed HomeLink button until the traineddevice begins to operate (this may take sev-eral seconds). Activation will now occur forthe trained device (i.e., garage door opener,gate operator, security system, entry doorlock, home/office lighting, etc.). For conven-ience, the hand-held transmitter of the devicemay also be used at any time. In the eventthat there are still programming difficulties orquestions, contact HomeLink at:www.homelink.com or by phoning the hotlineat 1–800–355–3515.
