! HomeLink
®Wireless Control Sys-
tem
The HomeLink
®Wireless Control System
provides a convenient way to replace up
to three hand-held radio-frequency re-
motes used to activate devices such as
gate operators, garage door openers,
entry door locks, security systems, even
home lighting. The below steps are
generic programming instructions; for
Genie and Sommer garage door openers
please go directly to the HomeLink web-
site. Additional information and program-
ming videos can be found at
www.HomeLink.com and
www.youtube.com/HomeLinkGentex.
CAUTION
. Before programming HomeLink
to a garage door opener or gate
operator, make sure that people
and objects are out of the way of
the device to prevent potential
harm or damage.
. When programming a garage
door opener, it is advised to park outside of the garage.
. Do not use HomeLink with any
garage door opener that lacks
safety stop and reverse features
as required by U.S. federal safety
standards (this includes any gar-
age door opener model manufac-
tured before April 1, 1982). A
garage door that cannot detect
an object signaling the door to
stop and reverse does not meet
current U.S. federal safety stan-
dards.
. It is also recommended that a
new battery be placed in the
hand-held remote (garage door
opener remote) of the device for
quicker and more accurate train-
ing.
. Some vehicles may require the
ignition switch to be turned to the
“ON ”or “ACC ”position for pro-
gramming and/or operation of
HomeLink.
. Keep the hand-held remote (gar-
age door opener remote) of the
device you are programming for
use in other vehicles as well as
for future HomeLink program-
ming. It is also suggested that
upon the sale of the vehicle, the programmed HomeLink buttons
be erased for security purposes.
Refer to
“Erasing HomeLink But-
tons ”F 3-113.
! Programming a New HomeLink
Button
1) Indicator Light
2) HomeLink Buttons
1. Press and release the HomeLink
button that you would like to program.
The HomeLink indicator light will flash
orange slowly (if not, refer to “Erasing
HomeLink Buttons ”F 3-113).

!Gate Operator / Canadian Pro-
gramming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter remote signals to “time-out ”
(or quit) after several seconds of transmis-
sion, 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 de-
signed to “time-out”in the same manner.
The indicator LED on the hand-held
remote will go off when the device times
out, indicating that it has finished transmit-
ting.
If you live in Canada or you are having
difficulties programming a gate operator or
garage door opener by using the program-
ming procedures, replace “Programming a
New HomeLink Button ”step 3 with the
following:
While the HomeLink indicator light is
flashing orange, press and release (“cy-
cle ”) your device ’s hand-held remote
every two seconds until the HomeLink
indicator light changes from orange to
green. You may now release the hand-
held remote button.
NOTE
If programming a garage door opener
or gate operator, it is advised to unplug the device during the
“cycling ”pro-
cess to prevent possible overheating.
Proceed with “Programming a New
HomeLink Button ”step 4 to complete.
! Using HomeLink
To operate, simply press and release the
programmed HomeLink button. Activation
will now occur for the trained device (i.e.
garage door opener, gate operator, secur-
ity system, entry door lock, home/office
lighting, etc.). For convenience, the hand-
held remote of the device may also be
used at any time.
!Erasing HomeLink Buttons
To erase programming from the three
buttons (individual buttons cannot be
erased but can be “reprogrammed”as
outlined below), follow the step noted:
Press and hold the two outer HomeLink
buttons for at least 10 seconds. The LED
indicator will change from continuously lit
to rapidly flashing. Release both buttons.
Do not hold for longer than 20 seconds.
HomeLink is now ready to be programmed
at any time beginning with “Programming
a New HomeLink Button ”- step 1. !
Reprogramming a Single
HomeLink Button
To program a previously trained button,
follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink
button. DO NOT release the button.
2. The indicator light will begin to slowly
flash orange after 20 seconds. The
HomeLink button can be released at this
point. Proceed with “Programming a New
HomeLink Button ”- step 3.
3. If you do not complete the program-
ming of a new device to the button, it will
revert to the previously stored program-
ming.
!Garage Door Two-Way Commu-
nication
HomeLink has the capability of commu-
nicating with your garage door opener.
HomeLink can receive and display “clos-
ing ”or “opening ”status messages from
compatible garage door opener systems.
At any time, HomeLink can also recall and
display the last recorded status commu-
nicated by the garage door opener to
indicate your garage door being “closed”
or “opened ”.
HomeLink has the capability of receiving
this communication from the garage door
opener at a range up to 820 feet (250 m).
