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. Press and hold the two outer
HomeLink buttons (buttons one and
three)
―
releasing only when the
indicator light begins to flash (after 20
seconds).
Do not
hold the buttons for
longer than 30 seconds and
do not
repeat step 1
to program a second and/
or third hand-held transmitter to the
remaining two HomeLink buttons.
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 4 has been
completed.
NOTE
Some gate operators and garage door
openers may require you to replace this
Programming Step 3 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. 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 2. Do not
repeat step 1.
If the indicator light blinks
rapidly for
two seconds and then turns to a
constant light, continue with
“
Programming
”
steps 6
―
8
to complete
the programming of a rolling code
equipped device (most commonly a
garage door opener).
6. 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.
