Operational Check

After installing your receiver and transmitter, check the
operation of your radio controls by moving
approximately 45 feet back from the garage door, then
press the transmitter button. Operation at this distance
should be reliable. However, environmental conditions
and the location of the transmitter and receiver will
affect distance.

•

If the transmitter doesn’t activate the operator check the
coding on both the transmitter and receiver. The code
setting must match exactly . This may necessitate a
reprogramming of the transmitter and receiver.

•

If the distance is inadequate check the battery and
replace if necessary.

•

To maximize the operating distance move the
transmitter to different locations in the car until a
satisfactory distance is achieved. Vanity mirrors on sun
visors will affect performance.

•

If the receiver is in the proximity of a metal beam or
other obstruction it may be necessary to relocate the
receiver to increase the operating range.

•

If multiple receivers are mounted closer than 15 feet,
blocking and interference may occur. Move the
receivers further apart.

•

If system does not work at any distance, check that the
receiver terminals are connected to the proper operator
terminals.

•

If the HomeLink® transmitter does not activate the
operator or distance is inadequate,verify proper
operation using the hand-held transmitter. Contact your
HomeLink® system provider for help with
configuring the HomeLink® transmitter and to resolve
distance problems when using the HomeLink® system.
