b) For first time training, begin programming by clearing memory. Press
and hold the two outer HomeLink
®
buttons (“ ” & “ ”), releasing only
when the HomeLink
®
indicator light begins to flash after 10 seconds. Do
not hold buttons for more than 20 seconds.
(Fig. 4-2)
NOTE: Do not repeat this step when programming additional devices to remaining
buttons.
NOTE: It is also suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle, the programmed
HomeLink
®
buttons be erased for security purposes. To erase the programmed but-
tons, perform the procedure shown in step “b).’
(Fig. 4-2)
c) Position the hand-held transmitter 1-3 inches away from the HomeLink
®
button, keeping the HomeLink
®
indicator light in view.
d) Using both hands, simultaneously press and hold both the desired
HomeLink
®
button and hand held transmitter button. DO NOT release
until the HomeLink
®
indicator light flashes slowly and then rapidly.
e) When the indicator light flashes rapidly, both buttons may be released.
(The rapid flashing indicates successful training.) (Fig 4-3)
NOTE: Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter signals to “time-out”
or quit after several seconds of transmission - which may not be long enough for
HomeLink
®
to pick up the signal during programming. Similar to this Canadian law,
some U.S. gate operators are designed to “time-out” in the same manner.
If you live in Canada or you have difculties programming a gate operator by using
the “Programming” procedures (regardless of where you live), replace the above
Programming HomeLink
®
step “d)” with the following:
Using both hands, simultaneously press and hold both the desired
HomeLink
®
button and hand held transmitter button. During program-
ming, your hand-held transmitter may automatically stop transmit-
ting. Continue to press and hold the desired HomeLink
®
button while
you press and re-press (“cycle”) your hand-held transmitter every two
seconds until the frequency signal has been learned. The indicator light
will flash slowly and then rapidly after several seconds upon success-
ful training. DO NOT release until the HomeLink
®
indicator light flashes
slowly and then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes rapidly, both
buttons may be released. (The rapid flashing indicates successful train-
ing.)
NOTE: If programming a Canadian garage door opener or gate, it is advised to
unplug the device during the HomeLink
®
programming and also if performing the
“cycling” process to prevent possible motor burn-up.
f) Press and hold the trained HomeLink
®
button and observe the indicator
light. (Fig 4-4)
g) If the indicator light is solid/continuous, training is complete and your
device should activate when the HomeLink
®
button is pressed and
released.
h) If the indicator light blinks rapidly for 2 seconds and then turns to a
solid/continuous light, proceed with the following training instructions for
a rolling code device.
