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 interf ering object. A door
or device without these features
increases the risk of death or serious
injury.

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

other potential harm.
 It is recommended that a new bat-
tery be placed in the remote control
transmitter for more accurate pro-
gramming.
