Programming and Information Guide
The HomeLink Wireless Control System provides a convenient way to replace up to three hand-
held radio-frequency (RF) transmitters used to activate devices such as gate operators, garage
door openers, entry door locks, security systems, even home lighting. Additional HomeLink
information can be found on the Internet at
www.homelink.com
.
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. When
programming a garage door opener, it is advised to park outside of the garage. Do not use
HomeLink 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 that 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 at:
www.homelink.com
.
Certain garage door drives are incompatible with HomeLink Wireless Control System. If you
have any difficulty programming, please contact the HomeLink® Hotline Assistance Center at 1-
800-355-3515.
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. Refer to “
Erasing
HomeLink Buttons”.
Programming HomeLink
Note:
Some vehicles may require the ignition switch to be turned on or to the second
(“accessories”) position for programming and/or operation of HomeLink. It is also 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.
1. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter 1–3 inches (5–14 cm) away from the
HomeLink button you wish to program while keeping the indicator light in view.
2. Simultaneously press and hold both the chosen HomeLink and hand-held transmitter buttons
until the HomeLink indicator light changes from a slow to a rapidly blinking light. Now you
may release both the HomeLink and hand-held transmitter buttons.
