 Programming the HomeLink 

System

CAUTION

When programming a garage door 

opener or a gate, disconnect the power 

to these devices before performing 

programming. 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.  Disconnect power to the device being 

programmed.

2.  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.

3.  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.

4.  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.
