of the garage before you begin program-
ming.
For efficient programming and accurate
transmission of the radio-frequency signal,
it is recommended that a new battery be
placed in the hand-held transmitter of the
device that is being programmed to the
HomeLink®system.

NOTE:
Erasing all channels should only be performed when programming HomeLink®for the first
time. Do not erase channels when programming additional buttons.
If you have any problems, or require assistance, please call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 or,
on the Internet at for information or assistance.
Programming A Rolling Code
NOTE:
For programming Garage Door Openers that were manufactured after 1995. These Garage
Door Openers can be identified by the “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button located where the
hanging antenna is attached to the Garage Door Opener. It is NOT the button that is
normally used to open and close the door. The name and color of the button may vary by
manufacturer.
1. Place the ignition switch into the ON/RUN position.
2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink®
button you wish to program while keeping the HomeLink®indicator light in view.
3. Push and hold the HomeLink®button you want to program while you push and hold
the hand-held transmitter button.
4. Continue to hold both buttons and observe the indicator light. The HomeLink®
indicator will flash slowly and then rapidly after HomeLink®has received the fre-
quency signal from the hand-held transmitter. Release both buttons after the indicator
light changes from slow to rapid.
5. At the garage door opener motor (in the garage), locate the “LEARN” or “TRAINING”
button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the
garage door opener motor. Firmly push and release the “LEARN” or “TRAINING”
button.
NOTE:

pushed.
6. Return to the vehicle and push the programmed HomeLink®button twice (holding the
button for two seconds each time). If the device is plugged in and activates,
programming is complete.
NOTE:
If the device does not activate, push the button a third time (for two seconds) to complete
the training.
7. To program the remaining two HomeLink®buttons, repeat each step for each
remaining button. DO NOT erase the channels.
