remote controlled devices around your home, such as garage doors, lighting, or
home security systems.
Refer to the safety information that comes wi th your garage door opener to test that
the safety features are functioning properly. If you do not have the safety
information, contact the manufacturer.
Before programming HomeLink, make sure that people and objects are out of the
