path of the door or gate.
• Do not run your vehicle in a closed garage or confined area while programming the transceiver. Exhaust gas from your vehicle contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is
odorless and colorless. Carbon Monoxide is poisonous when inhaled and can
cause you and others to be severely injured or killed.
NOTE:
• Only use this transceiver with a garage door opener that has a “stop and reverse” feature as required by Federal safety standards. This includes most garage door
opener models manufactured after 1982. Do not use a garage door opener without
these safety features. Call toll-free 1–800–355–3515 or, on the Internet, at
www.HomeLink.com for safety inf ormation orassistance.
• If you are having difficulty programming your HomeLink
®and your garage door opener
was manufactured after 1995, you may have a rolling code. Follow the steps below for
Programming A Rolling Code System.
Programming A Rolling Code System
• At the garage door opener motor (in the gara ge), locate the “learn” or “programming”
button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the
garage door opener motor (it is NOT the button normally used to open and close the
door).
• Firmly press and release the “learn” or “programming” button. The name and color of
the button may vary by manufacturer. Within 30 seconds, return to the vehicle and
press the programmed HomeLink
