opener, home or office lighting, you need to be at the same location as the device.
NOTE: Garage dooropeners (manufactured after1996) have“rolling codepro-
tection”. Toprogram agarage dooropener equipped with“rolling codeprotec-
tion”, you will need to use a ladder to get up to the garage door opener motor to
be able to access the “smart or learn” program button.
PROGRAMMING YOUR HOMELINK  UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER (Mirror,
