When programming your HomeLink
t
Universal Transceiver to a
garage door or gate, be sure that people and objects are out of
the way to prevent potential harm or damage.
Do not use the HomeLink
t
Universal Transceiver 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 which cannot detect
an object, signaling the door to stop and reverse, does not meet current
U.S. federal safety standards. For more information, contact HomeLink
t
at: www.homelink.com or 1–800–355–3515.
Retain the original transmitter for use in other vehicles as well as for
future programming procedures (i.e. new HomeLink
t
equipped vehicle
purchase). It is also suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle, the
programmed Homelink
t
Universal Transceiver buttons be erased for
security purposes, refer to
Programming
in this section.
Programming
Do not program the HomeLink
t
Universal Transceiver with the
vehicle parked in the garage.
Note: Some vehicles may require the ignition switch to be turned to the
second (or “ACC”) position for programming and/or operation of the
HomeLink
t
. It is also recommended that a new battery be placed in the
hand-held transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLink
t
for
quicker training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal.
1. Press and hold the two outside
buttons releasing only when the red
light begins to flash after 20
seconds.
Do not
repeat step one to
program additional hand-held
transmitters to the remaining two
HomeLink
t
buttons. This will erase
previously programmed hand-held
transmitter signals into HomeLink
t
.
2. Position the end of your
hand-held transmitter 2–8 cm (1–3
inches) away from the HomeLink
t
Universal Transceiver surface (located
on your overhead console) while keeping the red light in view.
