for operation of one desired device. For
details on the device types which can be
operated by this system, consult the

WARNING
.When programming the
HomeLink®Wireless Control Sys-
tem, you may be operating a
garage door opener or other
device. Make sure that people
and objects are out of the way
of the garage door or other
device to prevent potential harm
or damage.
. Do not use the HomeLink
®Wire-
less Control System with a gar-
age door opener that lacks the
safety stop and reverse feature
as required by applicable safety
standards. A garage door opener
which cannot detect an object,
signaling the door to stop and
reverse, does not meet these
safety standards. Using a garage
door opener without these fea-
tures increases risk of serious
injury or death. For more infor-
mation, consult the HomeLink
®website at www.homelink.com or
call 1-800-355-3515.
CAUTION
When programming the HomeLink®Wireless Control System to operate
a garage door opener or an entrance
gate, unplug the device ’s motor
from the outlet during programming
to prevent motor burnout.
NOTE
. After programming your HomeLink®Wireless Control System for the de-
sired devices, retain the hand-held
transmitters for further programming
or device testing in the event of a
problem.
.It is recommended that you insert a
new battery in the hand-held transmit-
ter of a device to ensure correct
programming.
! Garage door opener program-
ming in the U.S.A.
NOTE
When programming the HomeLink®Wireless Control System for a garage
door opener, it is suggested that you
park the vehicle outside the garage.
1. Unplug the motor of the garage door
opener from the outlet.
NOTE
If any of the HomeLink®buttons are
already programmed for other devices,
skip step 2 because it clears the
memory of all three buttons.
1) HomeLink®button 1
2) HomeLink®button 2
3) HomeLink®button 3
2. Press and hold the two outer
HomeLink®buttons (button 1 and button
3) until the indicator light begins to flash
(after approximately 20 seconds). Then
release both buttons.
3. Hold the end of the garage door
opener ’s hand-held transmitter between
1 and 3 inches (25 and 76 mm) away from
the HomeLink
®button you wish to pro-
gram.

this programming step 4 with proce-
dures in “Programming for entrance
gates and garage door openers in
Canada ”F 3-73.
5. Hold down both buttons until the
HomeLink
®indicator light flashes, first
slowly then rapidly. When the indicator
light flashes rapidly, both buttons may be
released. (The rapidly flashing light indi-
cates successful programming of the new

6. Press and hold the programmed but-
ton and check the HomeLink
®indicator
light. If the indicator light stays on con-
tinuously, your garage door should acti-
vate and the programming is completed.
If the indicator light flashes rapidly for 2
seconds and then stays on continuously,
your garage door opener may be pro-
tected by a rolling code feature. In this
case you need to perform the additional
steps that are described in “Programmingrolling-code-protected garage door open-
ers in the U.S.A.

The HomeLink
®Wireless Control System
provides a convenient way to replace up
to three hand-held radiofrequency 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

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.
. Turn the ignition switch to the
“ ON ”or “ACC ”position before
programming and/or operating
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
