Integrated HomeLink
® Wireless
Control System
The HomeLink
® Wireless Control System
provides a convenient way to replace up to
three hand-held radio-frequency (RF)
transmitters with a single built-in device.
This innovative feature will learn the radio
frequency codes of most current transmit-
ters to operate devices such as gate op-
erators, garage door openers, entry door
locks, security systems, even home light-
ing. Both standard and rolling code-
equipped transmitters can be programmed
by following the outlined procedures.
CAUTION:
Before programming HomeLink
® to a
garage door opener or gate operator,
make sure that people and objects are
out of the way of the device to prevent
potential harm or damage. Do not use
HomeLink
® with any garage door opener
that lacks the safety stop and reverse
features as required by U.S. federal
safety standards (this includes any ga-
rage door opener model manufactured
before April 1, 1982). A garage door that
cannot detect an object - signaling the
door to stop and reverse - does not meet
current U.S. federal safety standards.
Using a garage door opener without these
features increases the risk of serious
injury or death.Programming HomeLink
®
NOTE:o When programming a garage door
opener, it is advised to park the ve-
hicle outside of the garage.
o It is recommended that a new battery
be placed in the hand-held transmit-
ter of the device being programmed
to HomeLink
® for quicker training and
accurate transmission of the radio-
frequency signal.
o Some vehicles may require the igni-
tion switch to be turned to the second
(or "accessories") position for pro-
gramming and/or operation of
HomeLink.
o In the event that there are still pro-
gramming difficulties or questions
after following the programming steps
listed below, contact HomeLink
® at:
www.homelink.com or 1-800-355-
3515.
Retain the original transmitter of the RF
device you are programming for use in
other vehicles as well as for future
HomeLink
® programming. It is also sug-
gested that upon the sale of the vehicle, the
programmed HomeLink
® buttons be
erased for security purposes.
CAUTION:
Be sure the area is free of traffic, pedes-
trians, and obstructions.
