Gentex UAHL5B Users Manual
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 at www.HomeLink.com, or www.youtube.com/HomeLinkGentex.
Precautions!
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.
Note: 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.
Programming HomeLink
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 radiofrequency signal.
1. With the vehicle ignition on, press the HomeLink button that you would like to program. The
indicator light will flash orange slowly (you do not need to hold the HomeLink button).
2. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter 1–3 inches (2–8 cm) away from the
HomeLink button you wish to program while keeping the indicator light in view.
3. Press and hold the hand-held transmitter button. The HomeLink indicator light changes to
either rapidly flashing green (rolling code) or continuously lit green (fixed code). Now you
may release the hand-held transmitter button.
Note: Some devices may require you to replace this Programming Step 3 with procedures
noted in the “Gate Operator / Canadian 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. Firmly press, and release the programmed HomeLink button up to three separate times to
activate the device. If the device activates, programming is complete. If the device does not
activate, continue with “Programming” steps 5-7.
5. At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in the garage, locate the “Learn” or
“Smart” Button. This can usually be found directly on the motor-head unit (see the Garage
Door Opener manual to identify the “Learn Button”).
Note: A ladder and/or second person may simplify the following steps.
6. Firmly press and release the “Learn” or “Smart” button. (The name and color of the button
may vary by manufacturer.) There are typically 30 seconds to initiate step 7.
7. Return to the vehicle and firmly press, and release the programmed HomeLink button up to
three separate times to activate the device. If the device activates, programming is
complete.
Gate Operator /
Canadian Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter signals to “time-out” (or quit) after several
seconds of transmission – which may not be long enough for HomeLink to pick up the signal
during programming. Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are designed to
“time-out” in the same manner.
If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties programming a gate operator or garage door
opener by using the “Programming” procedures, replace “Programming HomeLink” step 2 with
the following:
Note: If programming a garage door opener or gate operator, it is advised to unplug the device
during the “cycling” process to prevent possible overheating.
