∗: If equipped
The HomeLink® Wireless Control System provides a convenient way
to replace up to three hand-held radio-frequency remotes used to
activate devices such as gate operators, garage door openers, entry
door locks, security systems, even home lighting. The below steps
are generic programming instructions; for Genie and Sommer
garage door openers please go dir ectly to the HomeLink website.

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)

Press the HomeLink button that
you would like to program and
observe the indicator light.
●
If the indicator light remains
constant green, your device
should operate when the
HomeLink button is pressed.
At this point, if your device
operates, programming is
complete.
● If the indicator light rapidly
flashes green, firmly press,
hold for two seconds and
release the HomeLink button
up to three times to complete
the programming process. At
this point if your device oper-
ates, programming is com-
plete. If the device does not
operate, continue with the
next step of the programming
instructions.

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
.
Return to the vehicle and firmly

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

■ 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.
