WARNING
•
If you use HomeLink ®
to open a garage
door or gate, be sure no one is near the gate or door while it is in motion.
• When programming a garage dooropener, it is advised to park outside of thegarage.
• Do not use HomeLink ®
with any garage
door opener that lacks safety stop andreverse features as required by U.S. fed-eral safety standards (this includes anygarage door opener model manufacturedbefore April 1, 1982). A garage door thatcannot detect an object - signaling thedoor to stop and reverse - does not meetcurrent U.S. federal safety standards. Formore information, contact HomeLink at:www.homelink.com.
Retain the original transmitter of the RF deviceyou are programming for use in other vehicles aswell as for future HomeLink programming. It isalso suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle,the programmed HomeLink buttons be erased

NOTE
Some vehicles may require the ignition to be switched on or be in the “accessories” posi-tion for programming and/or operation ofHomeLink. It is also recommended that a newbattery be placed in the hand-held transmitterof the device being programmed to Home-Link for quicker training and accurate trans-mission of the radio-frequency signal. TheHomeLink buttons must be reset first. Whenthis has been completed, Homelink is inlearning mode so that you can perform pro-gramming.
To program HomeLink®
1. Press the HomeLink ®
button to be pro-
grammed. The HomeLink ®
indicator will
begin flashing yellow once a second. You do not need to continue holding the button.
2. Point the hand-held transmitter toward the HomeLink ®
button to be programmed and
hold it approx. 6–12 inches (15–30 cm) away from the HomeLink ®
button. Do not
obstruct the HomeLink ®
indicator light. 3. Press and hold the button on the original
remote control that is to be programmed onHomeLink ®
and observe the HomeLink ®
indicator light. Hold the button until the indi- cator light has changed from flashing yellowonce a second to either flashing green 10times a second or by glowing steadily green. When the HomeLink ®
indicator light flashes
or glows steadily green, the button on the original remote control can be released. Note : for certain remote controls, the
instructions listed under "Gate operators/ Canadian programming" at the end of thisarticle should be used instead of step 3.

Press the programmed HomeLink ®
button
and check the indicator light. Indicator light glows steadily green: pro-
gramming has been completed. The garage door, gate, etc., should now be activatedwhen the programmed button is pressed. Indicator light flashes 10 times a second: press the HomeLink ®
button that is being
programmed. Hold it for 2 seconds and release it. Repeat the “press/hold/release”sequence a second time, and, depending onthe brand of the garage door opener, repeatthis sequence a third time to complete theprogramming process. Programming shouldnow be completed and the garage door,gate, etc., should now be activated when theprogrammed button is pressed. If the garage door, etc. still does not react: continue with steps 6-8 to complete
programming.
5. Locate the "training" button on the garage door opener, etc. The designation and color of the button may vary, depending on themanufacturer. It is usually located near theantenna attachment on the device.
6. Press the device's "training" button. When this has been done, step 8 must be comple-ted within 30 seconds.
7. Press and hold the HomeLink ®
button being
programmed for 2 seconds and release it.Repeat the “press/hold/release” sequence asecond time, and, depending on the brand ofthe garage door opener, repeat thissequence a third time to complete the pro-gramming process. Programming should nowbe completed and the garage door, gate, etc.,should now be activated when the pro-grammed button is pressed.
Gate Operator/Canadian Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmit- ter signals to “time-out” (or quit) after severalseconds of transmission – which may not be longenough for HomeLink to pick up the signal dur-ing programming. Similar to this Canadian law,some U.S. gate operators are designed to “time-out” in the same manner. If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties programming a gate operator or garage dooropener by using the “Programming” procedures, replace “Programming HomeLink” step 3 with the following :
• Continue to press and hold the HomeLink button while you
press and release - every
two seconds (“cycle”) your hand-held trans-
mitter until the HomeLink indicator light changes from a slow to a rapidly blinkinglight. Now you may release both the Home-Link and hand-held transmitter buttons.
Proceed with “Programming” step 4 to complete.
Using HomeLink ®When programming has been completed, HomeLink
®
can be used instead of the original
remote controls. To operate, press and hold the programmed HomeLink ®
button until the trained device begins
to operate 3
(this may take several seconds). The
3 Do not hold the button for more than 20 seconds as this will clear the programming of the button.
