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.

Note: Some devices may require you to replace this Programming Step 2 with procedures noted in the “Gate Operator / Canadian Programming” section. If the HomeLink indicator light does not change to a rapidly blinking light after performing these steps, contact HomeLink at www.homelink.com. 3. Firmly press, hold for five seconds and release the programmed HomeLink button up to two separate times to activate the door.

Gate Operator / Canadian Programming 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.
