Integrated HomeLink
®
Wireless Control System
The HomeLink
®
Wireless Control System provides a convenient way to replace up to
three hand-held radio-frequency (RF) transmitters with a single built-in device. This
innovative feature will learn the radio frequency codes of most current transmitters to
operate devices such as gate operators, garage door openers, entry door locks, security
systems, even home lighting. Both standard and rolling code-equipped transmitters can
be programmed by following the outlined procedures. Additional HomeLink
®
information
can be found at:
www.homelink.com
or by calling 1-800-355-3515.
Precautions
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. Do not use HomeLink
®
with any garage door opener that lacks the 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. Using a garage door opener without these features
increases the risk of serious injury or death.
Retain the original transmitter of the RF device you are programming for use in other
vehicles as well as for future HomeLink
®
programming. It is also suggested that upon
the sale of the vehicle, the programmed HomeLink
®
buttons be erased for security
purposes.
Programming HomeLink
®
Notes:
•
When programming a garage door opener, it is advised to park the vehicle outside of
the garage.
•
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.
•
Some vehicles may require the ignition switch to be turned to the second (or
“accessories”) position for programming and/or operation of HomeLink.
•
In the event that there are still programming difficulties or questions after following
the programming steps listed below, contact HomeLink
®
at:
www.homelink.com
or
1–800–355–3515.
