Programming and Information

Guide

The HomeLink® Wireless Control System provides a convenient way to replace up to three hand­held radio-frequency (RF) transmitters used to activate devices such as gate operators, garage
door openers, entry door locks, security systems, and even home lighting. For compatible

products and video programming instructions, please visit www.HomeLink.com

Before Programming HomeLink

Do not use HomeLink with any garage door opener that lacks safety stop and reverse

features as required by U.S. federal safety standards (this includes any garage door opener
model manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door that cannot detect an object ­signaling the door to stop and reverse - does not meet current U.S. federal safety standards.

Before programming HomeLink to a garage door opener or gate operator, make sure that

people and objects are out of the way of the device to prevent potential harm or damage.
When programming a garage door opener, it is advised to park outside of the garage.

Notes

Garage door opener motors manufactured after 1995 may be equipped with rolling code
protection. If this is the case, you may need a stepladder or other sturdy, safe device to
reach the “Learn” or “Smart” button on the garage door motor.

It is recommended that a new battery be placed in the remote control transmitter for
quicker training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal.

Retain the original transmitter of the RF device you are programming for use in other
vehicles as well as for future HomeLink programming.

It is suggested that upon the sale or lease termination of the vehicle, the programmed
HomeLink buttons be erased for security purposes. Refer to “Erasing HomeLink Buttons”
later in these instructions.

You can program a maximum of three devices. To change or replace any of the three
devices after it has been initially programmed, you must first erase the current settings.

Please note that the instructions below apply to the majority of HomeLink use cases. However,
there are some HomeLink applications or HomeLink compatible systems that require slightly
different instructions. In these cases, please visit www.youtube.com/HomeLinkGentex

system specific training videos.

Programming a New HomeLink
Note: Some vehicles may require the ignition switch to be turned on or to the second

(“accessories”) position for programming and/or operation of HomeLink. It is also
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.

1. Press the HomeLink button that you would like to program. The indicator light will flash
orange slowly (if not, refer to “Erasing HomeLink Buttons” later in these instructions). You
do not need to continue holding the HomeLink button.

2. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter 1–3 inches (2–8 cm) away from the
HomeLink button while keeping the indicator light in view.

Note: Some hand-held transmitters may actually train better a distance of 6-12
inches (15-20 cm). Keep this in mind if you have difficulty with the Programming
Process.

3. Press and hold the hand-held transmitter button while watching the indicator light on
HomeLink. Continue pressing the button until the HomeLink indicator light changes from
slowly flashing orange to either rapidly flashing green (rolling code) or continuously lit (fixed
code) green. Now you may release the hand-held transmitter button.

Note: Some devices may require you to replace this “Programming a New HomeLink”
step 3 with procedures noted in the “Gate Operator / Canadian / European
Programming” section. If the HomeLink indicator light does not change to rapidly flashing
green or continuously lit green after performing these steps, contact HomeLink at

www.HomeLink.com

4. Press the newly programmed HomeLink button and observe the indicator light.

• If the indicator light stays on constantly green, programming is complete and your
device should operate when the HomeLink button is pressed and released.

• If the indicator light rapidly flashes green, firmly press, hold for two seconds and
release the programmed HomeLink button. Repeat the "press/hold/release"

sequence a second time, and, depending on the brand of the garage door opener (or
other rolling code equipped device), repeat this sequence a third time to complete
the programming process. At this point if your device operates, programming is
complete.
