HomeLink® Universal Transceiver
The HomeLink ® Universal Transceiver can be pr ogrammed to operate up to three
remote controlled devices around your home, such as garage doors, lighting, or
home security systems.
Refer to the safety information that came wi th your garage door opener to test that
the safety features are functioning properly. If you do not have the safety
information, contact the manufacturer.
Before programming HomeLink, make sure that people and objects are out of the
way of the garage or gate to prevent potential injury or damage.
When programming a garage door opener, park just outside the garage door’s path.
■Important Safety Precautions

Before programming HomeLi nk to operate a garage
door opener, confirm that the opener has an external
entrapment protection system, such as an “electronic

does not, HomeLink may not be able to operate it.
