Homelink
Universal remote
control
General information
The Homelink universal remote control can
be programmed with hand-held transmitters
from existing equipment .
You must first program the Homelink trans
mitter before you can use the system
~ page 88 , Programming the Homelink
transmitter.
In order to program the Homelink transmit
ter for devices utilizing rolling code, a second
person on a ladder who can safely reach the
garage door opener motor is recommended.
It is also necessary to locate the "learn" but
ton on your garag e door open er motor . Refer
to the ope rating instructions for the opener ,
as the location and color of this bu tton may
vary by manufacturer .
You can still use the original remote control
for the device at any time.
A WARNING
-
- Never use the Homelink transmitter
with any garage door opener that does
have not the safety stop and reverse fea
ture as required by federal safety stand
ards. This includes any garage door open
er model manufactured before April 1,
1982.
- A garage door opener which cannot de
tect an object, signaling the door to stop
and reverse does not meet current feder
al safety standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features increases
risk of serious injury or death.
- For safety reasons never release the
parking brake or start the engine while
anyone is standing in front of the vehicle.
- A garage door or an estate gate may
sometimes be set in motion when the
Homelink remote control is being pro
grammed. If the device is repeatedly ac- tivated, this can overstrain motor and
damage its electrical components - an
overheated motor
is a fire hazard!
- To avoid possible injuries or property
damage, please always make absolutely
certain that no persons or objects are lo
cated in the range of motion of any
equipment being operated.
