garage door opener Acura RDX 2011 Owner's Manual

The HomeLink
®Universal Transceiver
built into your vehicle can be
programmed to operate up to three
remote controlled devices around your
home, such as garage doors, lighting,
or home security systems.
General Safety InformationBefore programming your HomeLink
to operate a garage door opener,
confirm that the opener has an
external entrapment protection
system, such as an ‘‘electronic eye, ’’or
other safety and reverse stop features.
If your garage door was manufactured
before April 1, 1982, you may not be
able to program HomeLink to operate
it. These units do not have safety
features that cause the motor to stop
and reverse it if an obstacle is detected
during closing, increasing the risk of
injury. Do not use HomeLink with any
garage door opener that lacks safety
stop and reverse features. Units manufactured between April 1,
1982 and January 1, 1993 may be
equipped with safety stop and reverse
features. If your unit does not have an
external entrapment protection
system, an easy test to confirm the
function and performance of the safety
stop and reverse feature is to lay a 2
╳
4 under the closing door. The door
should stop and reverse upon
contacting the piece of wood. As an
additional safety feature, garage door
openers manufactured after January 1,
1993 are required to have external
entrapment protection systems, such
as an electronic eye, which detect an
object obstructing the door.
Important Safety PrecautionsRefer to the safety information that
came with your garage door opener to
test that the safety features are
functioning properly. If you do not
have this information, contact the
manufacturer of the equipment.
Before programming HomeLink to a
garage door or gate opener, make sure
that people and objects are out of the
way of the device to prevent potential
injury or damage. When programming
a garage door opener, park just
outside the garage.Training HomeLinkBefore you begin
－ If you just
received your vehicle and have not
trained any of the buttons in
HomeLink before, you should erase
any previously learned codes before
training the first button. To do this,
press and hold the two outside buttons
on the HomeLink transceiver for about
20 seconds, until the red indicator
flashes. Release the buttons, then
proceed to step 1.
