Rolling Code
•
At the garage door opener motor in the garage, locate the “learn” or “smart” button (usually near
where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the unit). If there is difficulty locating the “learn” or
“smart” button, reference the garage door opener’s manual.
•
Press and release the “learn” or “smart” button (the name and color of the button may vary by
manufacturer).
o
Note: Once the button is pressed, there are typically about 30 seconds in which to initiate
the next step.
•
Return to the vehicle and press and release the programmed HomeLink button. Repeat the
“press/release” sequence up to 3 times to complete the training process. HomeLink should now
activate your rolling code equipped device.
•
To program additional HomeLink buttons, repeat this process.
•
Once programmed, the HomeLink Wireless Control System or the original hand-held transmitter
may be used to activate the device (e.g. garage door, entry lock, gate, etc.).
Reprogramming a single HomeLink button
When the following procedure is performed, buttons which already have devices registered to them can
be overwritten:
•
Press and hold the desired HomeLink button.
•
After about 20 seconds, the HomeLink indicator will start slowly flashing. While continuing to hold
the HomeLink button, position the hand-held transmitter 1-3 inches away from the HomeLink and
press and hold the hand held transmitter button until HomeLink indicator light changes to solid or
rapid flashing. The change in flashing indicates the frequency signal has been learned so, you
can release both the buttons.
o
Note: Some gate operators and garage door openers may require you to use the
“cycling” procedure noted in the “
Programming an entry gate
” section.
•
Press and hold the programmed HomeLink button and observe the indicator light.
o
If the indicator light is solid/continuous, programming is complete and your device should
activate when the HomeLink button is pressed and released.
o
If the indicator light blinks rapidly, proceed with the instructions listed in the “Rolling
Code” section.
•
If you do not program a new device to the button, it will revert to the previously held programming.
Erasing Your HomeLink memory (both buttons)
•
Press and hold both buttons for 10 seconds until the HomeLink indicator light changes from solid
to flashing indicator.
•
If you sell your vehicle, be sure to erase the HomeLink memory.
Sommer Rolling Code Programming Steps:
•
Note: if you are training two devices, and only one is a Sommer, you will need to train the
Sommer unit first, and then follow the “
Reprogramming a single HomeLink button”
instructions
for your second device.
•
Press and hold both HomeLink buttons for 20 seconds until the LED turns off.
