stop and reverse features as re-
quired by federal safety stan-
dards. (These standards became
effective for opener models man-
ufactured after April 1, 1982). A
garage door opener which cannot
detect an object in the path of a
closing garage door and then
automatically stop and reverse,
does not meet current federal
safety standards. Using a garage
door opener without these fea-
tures increases the risk of serious
injury or death.
. During the programming proce-
dure your garage door or security
gate will open and close (if the
transmitter is within range). Make
sure that people or objects are
clear of the garage door, gate,
etc. that you are programming.
. Your vehicle’s engine should be
turned off while programming
the HomeLink® Universal Trans-
ceiver. Do not breathe exhaust
gases; they contain colorless
and odorless carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide is dangerous. It
can cause unconsciousness or
death.PROGRAMMING HomeLink®
