Programming the HomeLink Transmitter

Do not use the HomeLink Transmitter with any garage
door opener that does not have the “stop and reverse”
safety feature. This includes any garage door opener
model manufactured before April 1, 1982.

Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage
door you are programming.

It is recommended that a new battery be installed in
your hand

-

held transmitter for quicker and more

accurate transmission of the radio frequency.

Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off while
programming the transmitter. Follow these steps to
program up to three channels:

1. Decide which one of the three channels (one of the

three HomeLink buttons) you want to program.

2. Press and hold the desired button on HomeLink

through Step 3.

3. When the HomeLink indicator light begins to blink

slowly (this may take up to 30 seconds), hold the
hand

-

held transmitter about 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm)

from HomeLink and then press and hold the transmit
button on the hand

-

held transmitter. Continue to hold

both buttons until the indicator light on HomeLink
begins to flash rapidly (this may take up to 
90 seconds).

If you have trouble programming HomeLink, make sure
that you have followed the directions exactly as
described and that the battery in the hand

-

held

transmitter is not weak. If you still cannot program it,
move the hand

-

held transmitter to the left or right or

forward or backward or flip it upside down. HomeLink
may not work with older garage door openers that do
not meet current Federal Consumer Safety Standards. 
If you cannot program the transmitter after repeated
attempts, refer to “Training a Garage Door Opener with
Rolling Codes” later in this section or contact the
manufacturer of HomeLink at 1
