WARNING!
A moving garage door can cause injury to people and
pets in the path of the door. People or pets could be
seriously or fatally injured. Only use this transceiver
with a garage door opener that has a ªstop and
reverseº feature as required by federal safety stan-
dards. This includes most garage door opener models
manufactured after 1982. Do not use a garage door
opener without these safety features it could cause
injury or death. Call toll-free 1±800±355±3515 or, on
the Internet at www.homelink.com for safety infor-
mation or assistance.
Programming The Universal Transceiver
For best results, install a new battery in the hand held
transmitter before programming. If your garage door
opener (located in the garage) is equipped with an
antenna, make sure that the antenna is hanging straight
down.
1. Turn off the engine.
WARNING!
Vehicle exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a danger-
ous gas. Do not run the vehicle's exhaust while
training the transceiver. Exhaust gas can cause seri-
ous injury or death.

4. Using both hands, press the hand held transmitter
button and the desired Universal Transceiver button. Do
not release the buttons until step 5 has been completed.
NOTE:Some entry gates and garage door openers may
require you to replace step 4 with the procedures listed
under Canadian Programming.
5. The indicator light in the Universal Transceiver will
begin to flash, first slowly and then rapidly. The rapid
flashing indicates successful programming. If after 90
seconds the indicator light does not flash rapidly or goes
out, return to step 1 and repeat the procedure. To train the
other buttons, repeat steps 3 and 4. Be sure to keep your
hand held transmitters in case you need to retrain the
Universal Transceiver.
NOTE: If you do not successfully program the Uni-
versal Transceiver to learn the signal of your hand heldtransmitter, refer to the Rolling Code Paragraph, or call
toll free for customer assistance at 1±800±355±3515, or
on the internet at www.homelink.com.
ªRolling Codeº Programming
NOTE:If your hand held transmitter appears to pro-
gram the Universal Transceiver, but your garage door or
other device does not operate, and your device was
manufactured after 1996, your garage door opener or
other device may have a ªRolling Codeº system.
On garage door openers with the ªRolling Codeº feature,
the transmitter code changes after each use to prevent the
copying of your code.
To check if your device is protected by a ªRolling Codeº
system:
²Check the owner's manual for the device for mention
of ªRolling Codesº.
