Before programming HomeLink
●Before programming HomeLink to a garage door opener or gate
operator, make sure that people and objects are out of the way
of the device to prevent potential harm or damage.
● When programming a garage door opener, it is advised to park
outside of the garage.
● Do not use HomeLink with any garage door opener that lacks
safety stop and reverse features as required by U.S. federal
safety standards (this includes any garage door opener model
manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door that cannot
detect an object signaling the door to stop and reverse does not
meet current U.S. federal safety standards.
● It is also recommended that a new battery be placed in the
hand-held remote (garage door opener remote) of the device for
quicker and more accurate training.
● Vehicles without a keyless access with push button start system:
Some vehicles may require the engine switch to be turned to the
“ACC” or “ON” position for programming and/or operation of
HomeLink.
● Vehicles with a keyless access with push button start system:
Some vehicles may require the push-button ignition switch to be
turned to the “ACC” or “ON” mode for programming and/or oper-
ation of HomeLink.

Programming a New HomeLink Button
Press and release the HomeLink button that you would like to
program. The HomeLink indicator light will flash orange slowly
(if not, refer to “Erasing HomeLink Buttons” →P. 324).
Position the hand-held remote
(garage door opener remote) 1
to 3 in. (2 to 8 cm) away from the
HomeLink button that you would
like to program.
Some hand-held remotes (garage
door opener remotes) may actu-
ally train better at a distance of 6
to 12 in. (15 to 30 cm). Keep this
in mind if you have difficulty with
the programming process.
While the HomeLink indicator
light is flashing orange, press
and hold the hand-held remote
button. Continue pressing the
hand-held remote button until the
HomeLink indicator light
changes from orange to green.
You may now release the hand-
held remote button.
Some devices may require you to
replace this “Programming a New
HomeLink Button” with
procedures noted in the “Gate
Operator/Canadian Program-
ming” section. Refer to “Gate
Operator/Canadian Program-
ming”. ( →P. 323)

BRZ_UAt the garage door opener
motor, (security gate motor,
etc...) locate the “Learn”,
“Smart”, or “Program” button.
This can usually be found where
the hanging antenna wire is
attached to the motor-head unit
(see the device’s manual to iden-
tify this button). The name and
color of the button may vary by
manufacturer.
A ladder and/or second person
may simplify the following steps.
Firmly press and release the “Learn”, “Smart”, or “Program”
button. You now have 30 seconds in which to complete
.

In the event that there are still
programming difficulties or ques-
tions, additional HomeLink infor-
mation and programming videos

garage door openers please go
directly to the HomeLink website.
■ Gate Operator/Canadian Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter remote signals
to “time-out” (or quit) after several seconds of transmission, which
may not be long enough for HomeLink to pick up the signal during
programming. Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate opera-
tors are designed to “time-out” in the same manner. The indicator
LED on the hand-held remote will go off when the device times out,
indicating that it has finished transmitting.
If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties programming a
gate operator or garage door opener by using the programming
procedures, replace “Programming a New HomeLink Button”
with the following:
While the HomeLink indicator light is flashing orange, press and
release (“cycle”) your device’s hand-held remote every two sec-
onds until the HomeLink indicator light changes from orange to
green. You may now release the hand-held remote button.
If programming a garage door opener or gate operator, it is advised to
unplug the device during the “cycling” process to prevent possible over-
heating.
Proceed with “Programming a New HomeLink Button” to com-
plete.

ton. Activation will now occur for the trained device (i.e. garage door

lighting, etc.). For convenience, the handheld remote of the device
may also be used at any time.
Reprogramming a Single HomeLink ButtonTo program a previously trained button, follow these steps: Press and hold the desired HomeLink button. DO NOT
release the button.
The indicator light will begin to slowly flash orange after 20
seconds. The HomeLink button can be released at this point.
Proceed with “Programming a New HomeLink Button” -.
If you do not complete the programming of a new device to
the button, it will revert to the previously stored programming.
Erasing HomeLink Buttons
To erase programming from the three buttons (individual buttons can-
not be erased but can be “reprogrammed” as outlined below), follow
the step noted:
Press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons for at least 10 sec-
onds. The LED indicator will change from continuously lit to rapidly
flashing. Release both buttons. Do not hold for longer than 20 sec-
onds. HomeLink is now ready to be programmed at any time begin-

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.
