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 the power to the garage

door opener or gate programmed to the
hand-held transmitter.

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.

5. Connect the power to the garage door

opener or gate programmed to the
hand-held transmitter.

6. Firmly press and hold the programmed

HomeLink button for five seconds, and
then release it. Perform this operation
two times to activate the door or gate.
If the door or gate 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 7

―

 to

complete the programming of a rolling
code equipped device (most commonly
a garage door opener).

7. 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.

8. Firmly press and release the “learn” or

“smart” button. (The name and color
