Note to Canadian Owners: During programming,
the hand
-held transmitter may automatically stop
transmitting after one or two seconds. In this case, you
should press and re
-press the button on the hand-held
transmitter every two seconds without ever releasing the
button on the HomeLink Transmitter. Release both
buttons when the indicator light on the HomeLink
Transmitter begins to flash rapidly.
Operating the HomeLink
Transmitter
Press and release the appropriate button on the
HomeLink Transmitter. The indicator light comes on
while the signal is being transmitted.
If the hand
-held transmitter appears to program the
HomeLink Transmitter but does not open your garage door,
and if the garage door opener was manufactured after 1996,
the garage door opener may have a ªrolling codeº system.
A rolling code system changes the code of the garage door
opener every time you open or close the garage door.
To determine if you have this system, press the button on
the HomeLink Transmitter that you have programmed
already. If the indicator light on the HomeLink
Transmitter flashes rapidly for two seconds and then
turns solid, the garage door opener has a rolling code
system. In a rolling code system, the garage door motor
head unit must be trained to the HomeLink Transmitter.
ªRolling Codeº Programming
If you have not previously programmed the hand-held
transmitter to the HomeLink Transmitter, see ªProgramming
the HomeLink

Transmitterº listed previously. If you have
completed this programming already, you now need to train
the garage door opener motor head unit to recognize the
HomeLink Transmitter. Refer to your garage door opener
owner's manual for the proper transmitter training procedure
for your garage door opener brand.
1. Find the training button on the garage door opener
motor head unit. The exact location and color of the
button may vary by garage door opener brand. If you
have difficulty finding the training button, refer to
your garage door opener owner's manual.
2. Press the training button on the garage door opener
motor head unit.
Following this step, you have 30 seconds to
start Step 3.
3. Return to the HomeLink Transmitter in your vehicle
and firmly press and release the HomeLink
Transmitter button you have already programmed for
two to three seconds. Press and release the button
again (you may need to do this step up to three times)
to make sure that the HomeLink Transmitter has been
trained to the garage door opener motor head unit.
Check that the training was successful.
