WA R N I N G Do not use HomeLink
® with any garage
door opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features as required by U.S. Fed- eral Regulations.
A garage door opener
which cannot detect an object in the path of a closing garage d
oor and then auto-
matically stop and reverse, does not meetcurrent U.S. Federal Regulations. Using a garage door opener wi
thout these features
increases the risk of serious injury ordeath. During programming, your garage door or gate may open or close. Make sure that people and objects are clear of the garage door or gate that
you are programming.
NOTE
Once HomeLink
® is programmed, retain the
original transmitter for future programming procedures (for example, new vehicle pur- chases). Upon sale of the vehicle, the pro- grammed HomeLink
® buttons should be
erased for security purposes. Refer to “Cleaning the progra
mmed information” on
page 5-224.
You can program a maximum of 3 devices. To change or replace
any of the 3 devices
after it has been in
itially programmed, you
must first erase the current settings. See “Cleaning the programmed information” on page 5-224 or “Reprogramming a single HomeLink
® button” on page 5-224.

Some garage door openers manufactured after 1995 have “rolli
ng code protection”.
To program a garage door opener equipped with “rolli
ng code protection”;
you will need to access the garage dooropener motor to press the motor’s “Learn” or “Smart” buttons. For convenience, use a ladder and another person to assist you. It is recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLink
®
for quicker training and accurate trans- mission of the radio-frequency signal.

Canadian radio-frequenc
y laws require trans-
mitter signals to “time-out” (or quit) afterseveral seconds of tr
ansmission - 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 man-
ner. The indicator LED on the hand-held transmit- ter will go off when the device times out indi-cating that it has fi
nished transmitting.
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 a new HomeLink
®” step 3 with the following:
NOTE
Some devices may requi
re you to replace this
