obstructions before programming or
during operation of the HomeLink system:

Programming or operating the HomeLink
system without verifying the safety of areas
surrounding garage doors and gates is
dangerous and could result in an
unexpected accident and serious injury if
someone were to be hit.

NOTE

The programming will not be erased even
if the battery is disconnected.

NOTE

It is 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.



Verify that there is a remote control
transmitter available for the device you
would like to program.



Disconnect the power to the device.

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.
