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, even home lighting. Additional HomeLink
information can be found on the Internet at www.homelink.com

Precautions

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. 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. For more information, contact
HomeLink at: www.homelink.com

Certain garage door drives are incompatible with HomeLink Wireless Control System. If you
have any difficulty programming, please contact the HomeLink® Hotline Assistance Center at 1­800-355-3515.

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 also suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle,
the programmed HomeLink buttons be erased for security purposes. Refer to “Erasing

HomeLink Buttons”.

Programming 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. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter 1–3 inches (5–14 cm) away from the
HomeLink button you wish to program while keeping the indicator light in view.

2. Simultaneously press and hold both the chosen HomeLink and hand-held transmitter buttons
until the HomeLink indicator light changes from a slow to a rapidly blinking light. Now you
may release both the HomeLink and hand-held transmitter buttons.

Note: Some devices may require you to replace this Programming Step 2 with procedures
noted in the “Gate Operator / Canadian Programming” section. If the HomeLink indicator
light does not change to a rapidly blinking light after performing these steps, contact
HomeLink at

.

3. Firmly press, hold for five seconds and release the programmed HomeLink button up to
two separate times to activate the door. If the door does not activate, press and hold the just­trained 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.

• If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns to a constant
light continue with “Programming” steps 4-6 to complete the programming of a

rolling code equipped device (most commonly a garage door opener).

4. 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.

5. Firmly press and release the “learn” or “smart” button. (The name and color of the button
may vary by manufacturer.) There are 30 seconds to initiate step 6.

6. Return to the vehicle and 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.

HomeLink should now activate your rolling code equipped device.
