HomeLink ® Wireless Control System
NOTE: Some vehicles may require the ignition to be turned on or to the second (or
“accessory”) position for programming and/or operation of HomeLink. It is also
recommended that a new battery be replaced in the hand held transmitter of the device
being programmed to HomeLink for quicker training and accurate transmission of the
radio frequency. Please make sure that people and objects are out of the way of the
moving door or gate when programming to prevent potential harm or damage.
HomeLink® Programming
1. For first time programming, press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons releasing
only when the HomeLink indicator light begins to flash after 20 seconds. (Do not
perform this step when programming the additional HomeLink buttons)
2. Position the hand-held transmitter 1-3 inches away from the HomeLink surface
(located on your visor, overhead console or mirror) keeping the HomeLink indicator
light in view.
3. Using both hands, simultaneously press and hold both the desired HomeLink button
and hand held transmitter button. DO NOT release until the HomeLink indicator light
flashes slowly and then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes rapidly, both buttons
may be released. (The rapid flashing indicates successful programming)
*Note: Some gate operators and garage door openers may require you to replace
step #3 with the “cycling” procedure noted in the “Gate Operator & Canadian
Programming” section.
4. Press and hold the programmed HomeLink button and observe the indicator light.
x If the indicator light is solid/continuous, programming is complete and your
device should activate when the HomeLink button is pressed and released.
x If the indicator light blinks rapidly for 2 seconds and then turns a
solid/continuous light, proceed with the following programming instructions for
a rolling code device. A second person may make the following steps quicker
& easier.
5. At the garage door opener receiver (motorhead unit) in the garage, locate the “learn”
or “smart” button (usually near where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the
unit). If there is difficulty locating the training button reference the garage door
opener’s manual, visit our website www.homelink.com
or contact us at 1-800-355-
3515.
6. Press and release the “learn” or “smart” button (the name and color of the button
may vary by manufacturer). NOTE: Once the button is pressed, there are 30
seconds in which to initiate the next step.
7. Return to the vehicle and firmly press and hold the programmed HomeLink button for
two seconds and release. Repeat the “press/hold/release” sequence up to 3 times to
complete the training process.
HomeLink should now activate your rolling code equipped device.
**To program additional HomeLink buttons, begin with “programming” step two.
Once programmed, the HomeLink Wireless Control System or the original hand-held
transmitter may be used to activate the device (e.g. garage door, entry lock, gate, etc.).
In the event that there are still programming difficulties, please contact HomeLink at 1800-355-3515 or visit our website at www.homelink.com.
Precautions!
Do not use the HomeLink® Wireless Control System with any garage door opener that
lacks the safety stop and reverse feature as required by federal safety standards. (This
includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage
door opener that cannot detect an object, signaling the door to stop and reverse, does
not meet current federal safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these
features increases risk of serious injury or death. For more information, call 1-800-3553515 or visit our website at www.homelink.com
.
Retain the original hand-held transmitter for future programming procedures (i.e., new
vehicle purchase). It is also suggested that upon sale of the vehicle, the programmed
HomeLink Wireless Control System buttons be erased for security purposes (follow step
1 in the “Programming” portion of this text). For convenience, the hand-held transmitter
of the device may also be used at any time.
Gate Operator Programming & Canadian Programming
If programming a garage door opener or gate, it is advised to unplug the device during
the “cycling’ process to prevent possible motor burn-up.
During programming, your hand-held transmitter may automatically stop transmitting.
Continue to press and hold the desired HomeLink button (note steps 2-4 in the
“Programming” portion on this text) while you press and re-press (“cycle”) your handheld transmitter every two seconds until the frequency signal has been learned. The
indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly after several seconds upon successful
training. If necessary, follow steps 5-7 to complete the training for a rolling code device.
Reprogramming a Single HomeLink® Button
To program a device to HomeLink using a HomeLink button previously trained, follow
these steps:
1. Press and hold the desired pre-programmed HomeLink button for at least 20
seconds (no longer than 30 seconds) until the indicator light begins to flash. Without
releasing the HomeLink button, position the hand-held transmitter 1-3 inches away
from the HomeLink surface keeping the HomeLink indicator light in view.
2. Using both hands, simultaneously press and hold both the desired HomeLink button
and hand held transmitter button (or press and “cycle”- as described in “Gate &
Canadian Programming”). DO NOT release until the HomeLink indicator light
flashes slowly and then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes rapidly, both buttons
may be released. (The rapid flashing indicates successful programming)
The previous device has now been erased and the new device can be activated by
pushing the HomeLink button that has just been programmed. However, it may be
