How to Use the
HomeLink Wireless Control System
Programming the HomeLink System
The HomeLink system provides 3
buttons which can be individually
selected and programmed using the
transmitters for current, on-market
devices as follows:
1. Verify that there is a remote control transmitter available for the device
you would like to program.
NOTE
It is recommended that a new
battery be placed in the hand-held
transmitter of the device being
programmed to HomeLink for
quicker training and accurate
transmission of the radio-frequency
signal.
2. Press and release the HomeLink button you would like to program.
The indicator light flashes slowly in
amber when the button is pressed.
1. Indicator light
2. HomeLink button
3. Hold the hand-held transmitter 3 to 7 cm (1.2 to 2.7 in) away from the
HomeLink button you would like to
program while keeping the
indicator light in view.
NOTE
Depending on the hand-held
transmitter, it may be easier to do
the programming by holding it
about 20 cm (7.9 in) away from the
HomeLink button.
4. Press the hand-held transmitter button continuously until the
indicator light changes from amber
(flashing) to green (on/flashing).
NOTE
Some gate operators and garage
door openers may require you to
replace this Programming Step 4
with procedures noted in the “Gate
Operator/Canadian Programming”
section.
5. Press the HomeLink button again to check if the programming has been
completed.
If the indicator light remains on in
green, the programming is
complete and the device becomes
operational.
If the indicator light flashes rapidly
in green, firmly press and hold the
Homelink button and release it
after two seconds have passed.
Repeat this process up to three
times to complete the
programming. The device becomes
operational and programming is
complete. If the device does not
operate, go to the next step.
6. At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in the garage,
locate the “learn” or “smart” button.
This can usually be found where the
hanging antenna wire is attached to
the motor-head unit.
7. Firmly press and release the “learn” or “smart” button. (The name and
color of the button may vary by
manufacturer.)
