Programming the HomeLink System
CAUTION
When programming a garage door
opener or a gate, disconnect the
power to these devices before
performing programming, as
continuous operation of the devices
could damage the motor.
The HomeLink system provides 3 buttons
which can be individually selected and
programmed using the transmitters for
current, on-market devices as follows:
1. Position the end of your hand-held
transmitter 2.5
―
7.5 cm (1
―
3 inches)
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.
Do not release the
buttons until step 3 has been
completed.
NOTE
Some gate operators and garage door openers
may require you to replace this Programming
Step 2 with procedures noted in the
“
Gate
Operator/Canadian Programming
”
section.
3. After the HomeLink indicator light
changes from a slow to a rapidly
blinking light, release both the
HomeLink and hand-held transmitter
buttons.
NOTE
If the HomeLink indicator light does not
change to a rapidly blinking light, contact
HomeLink at
www.homelink.com
or call
1-
800-355-3515
for assistance.
4. Firmly press and hold the programmed
HomeLink button for five seconds, and
then release it. Perform this operation
two times to activate the door. If the
door does not activate, press and hold
the just-trained HomeLink button and
observe the indicator light.
If the indicator light
stays on constantly,
programming is complete
and your
device should activate when the
HomeLink button is pressed and released.
NOTE
To program the remaining two HomeLink
buttons, begin with
“
Programming
”
―
step 1.
If the indicator light blinks
rapidly for
two seconds and then turns to a
constant light, continue with
“
Programming
”
steps 5
―
7
to complete
the programming of a rolling code
equipped device (most commonly a
garage door opener).
5. At the garage door opener receiver
(motor-head unit) in the garage, locate
the
“
learn
”
or
“
smart
”
button. This can
usually be found where the hanging
antenna wire is attached to the motor-
head unit.
6. Firmly press and release the
“
learn
”
or
“
smart
”
button. (The name and color of
the button may vary by manufacturer.)
NOTE
Complete the programming within 30 seconds.
