■Before programming HomeLink®
 During programming, it is possible 
that garage doors, gates, or other  devices may operate. For this rea-
son, make sure that people and 
objects are clear of the garage door 
or other devices to prevent injury or 
other potential harm.
 It is recommended that a new bat-
tery be placed in the remote control 
transmitter for more accurate pro-
gramming.
 Garage door opener motors manu-
factured after 1995 may be 
equipped with rolling code protec-
tion. If this is the case, you may need 
a stepladder or other sturdy, safe 
device to reach the “Learn” or 
“Smart” button on the garage door 
opener motor.
■Programming HomeLink®
Steps  1 through  3 must be performed 
within 60 seconds, otherwise the indi-
cator light will stop flashing and pro-
gramming will not be able to be 
completed.
1
Press and release the HomeLink® 
button you want to program and 
check that the HomeLink
® indica-
tor light flashes (orange).
WARNING
■When programming a garage door or 
other remote control device
The garage door or other device may 
operate, so ensure people and objects 
are out of danger to prevent potential 
harm.
■Conforming to federal safety stan-
dards
Do not use the HomeLink
® compatible 
transceiver with any garage door opener 
or device that lacks safety stop and 
reverse features as required by federal 
safety standards.
This includes any garage door that can-
not detect an interfering object. A door 
or device without these features 
increases the risk of death or serious 
injury.
■When operating or programming 
HomeLink®
Never allow a child to operate or play 
with the HomeLink® buttons.
