Custome r Assistanc e

If you have problems with training
the HomeLink Universal
Transmitter, or would like information on home products thatcan be operated by the transmitter,
call (800) 355-3515. Importan
t Safet y Precaution s
Always refer to the operating instruc- tions and safety information that
came with your garage door opener
or other equipment you intend tooperate with the HomeLink
Universal Transmitter. If you do not
have this information, you should contact the manufacturer of the
equipment.
While training or using the transmitter, make sure you have aclear view of the garage door or gate,
and that no one will be injured by its
movement. If your garage door opener was
manufactured before April 1982, you
may not be able to program the
HomeLink Universal Transmitter to
operate it. Garage door openers
manufactured before that date do
not have a safety feature that causes
them to stop and reverse if an obstacle is detected during closing,
increasing the risk of injury. If you
have questions, call (800) 355-3515.

Trainin g th e Transmitte r
Before you can use the HomeLink
Universal Transmitter to operate
devices around your home, it must

"learn" the proper codes. For
example, to train the transmitter to
open and close the garage door:

1. This step erases all previously learned
codes. Perform this step before
training the transmitter for the very

first time. Press and hold the two
outside buttons until the red light
in the transmitter flashes (approximately 20 seconds).
Release the buttons.
2. Hold the end of the garage door opener remote control 1 to 3
inches from the HomeLink
transmitter. Make sure you are
not blocking your view of the red
light in the transmitter. 3. Select the transmitter button you
want to train.
4. Press the button on the remote control and the button on the
transmitter at the same time. Hold down both buttons. 5. The red light in the transmitter
should begin flashing. It will flash
slowly at first, then rapidly.
6. When the red light flashes rapidly, release both buttons. The
transmitter should have learned
the code from the remote control.
7. Test the transmitter button by pushing it. It should operate the
garage door.
8. Repeat these steps to train the other two transmitter buttons to
operate any other remotely-
controlled devices around your
home (lighting, automatic gate, security system, etc.).
