Homelink®
Universal remote
control
General information
Appl ies to vehicles: with Horne Link® universal rem ote
control
The Homelink ® feature can learn up to three
radio frequency codes for most current trans ­
mitters used for operating garage doors, es­
tate gates, home or outdoor lighting sys·
tems, and other devices.
You must first program the Homelink ® trans·
mitter before you can use the system
¢ page 162, Programming the HomeLink®
transmitter.
In order to program the Homelink® transmit·
ter for devices utilizing rolling code , a second
person on a ladder who can safe ly reach the
garage door opener motor is recommended.
It is also necessary to locate the "learn" but­
ton on your garage door opener motor . Refer
to the operat ing instruct ions for the opener,
as the location and color of this button may
vary by manufacturer.
You can still use the origina l remote control
for the device at any time.
A WARNING
-
- Never use the Homelink® transmitter
with any garage door opener that does
have not the safety stop and reverse fea­
ture as requ ired by federal safety stand­
ards . Th is includes any garage door open·
er model manufactured before April 1,
1982.
- A garage door opener which cannot de·
tect an object, signaling the door to stop
and reverse does not meet current feder­
al safety standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features increases
risk of serious injury or death.
- For safety reasons never release the
parking brake or start the engine while
anyone is stand ing in front of the vehicle .
Homelink® 161
-A garage door or an estate gate may
sometimes be set in motion when the
Homelink ® remote control is being pro·
grammed . If the device is repeatedly ac·
tivated, th is can overstrain motor and
damage its electrical components -an
overheated motor is a fire hazard!
- To avoid possible injuries or property
damage, please always make abso lutely
certain that no persons or objects are lo·
cated in the range of motion of any
equ ipment being ope rated.
