Two-Way Communication
■ Garage Door Two-Way Communication
HomeLink has the capability of communicating with your garage door
opener. HomeLink can receive and display “closing” or “opening” sta-
tus messages from compatible garage door opener systems.
At any time, HomeLink can also recall and display the last recorded
status communicated 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 ft. (250 m).Range may be
reduced by obstacles such as houses or trees. You may have to slow
your vehicle speed to successfully receive the garage door opener
communication.
■ Programming Two-Way Communication
Within five seconds after pro-
gramming a new HomeLink but-
ton, both of HomeLink’s garage
door status indicators will flash
rapidly green indicating that the
garage door two-way communi-
cation has been enabled. If your
garage door status indicators
flashed, two-way communica-
tion programming is complete.
If the garage door status indica-
tors do not flash, additional
HomeLink information and pro-
gramming videos can be found
online at www.HomeLink.com
and www.youtube.com/
HomeLinkGentex.

WARNING
■When programming a garage door or other remote control devices
When programming the HomeLink
® Wireless Control System, 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.
■ Conforming to federal safety standards
Do not use the HomeLink
® Wireless Control System with a garage door
opener that lacks the safety stop and reverse feature as required by applica-
ble safety standards. A garage door opener which cannot detect an object,
signaling the door to stop and reverse, does not meet these safety stan-
dards. Using a garage door opener without these features increases risk of
serious injury or death. For more information, consult the HomeLink website
at www.homelink.co m or call 1-800-355-3515.
CAUTION
■Hand-held remote (garage door opener remote)
Keep the hand-held remote (garage door opener remote) of the device you
are programming for use in other vehicles as well as for future HomeLink
programming. It is also suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle, the pro-
grammed HomeLink buttons be erased for security purposes. Refer to
“Erasing HomeLink Buttons”. ( →P. 328)
