■When programming a garage 
door or other remote control 
device
The garage door o r other device 
may operate, so ensure people 
and objects are out of danger to 
prevent potential harm.
■Conforming to federal safety 
standards
Do not use the HomeLink
® com-
patible transce iver with any 
garage door opener or device that 
lacks safety stop and reverse fea-
tures as required by federal safety 
standards.
This includes any garage door 
that cannot detect an interfering 
object. A door or  device without 
these features increases the risk 
of death or serious injury.
■When operating or program-
ming HomeLink®
Never allow a child to operate or

■Before programming Home-
Link
®
During programming, it is pos-
sible that garage doors, 
gates, or other devices may 
operate. For this reason, 
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 
battery be placed in the 
remote control transmitter for 
more accurate programming.
 Garage door opener motors 
manufactured after 1995 may 
be equipped with rolling code 
protection. 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®
