WARNING

Do not use the HomeLink
Universal
Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and
reverse features as required by fed-
eral safety standards. (These stan-
dards became effective for opener
models manufactured after April 1,
1982). A garage door opener which
cannot detect an object in the path of
a closing garage door and then auto-
matically stop and reverse, does not
meet current federal safety stan-
dards. Using a garage door opener
without these features increases the
risk of serious injury or death.

During programming, your garage
door or gate may open or close.
Make sure that people and objects
are clear of the garage door or gate
that you are programming.

Your vehicle’s engine should be
turned off while programming the
HomeLink
Universal Transceiver.
PROGRAMMING HomeLinkTo program your HomeLink
Transceiver to op-
erate a garage door, gate, or entry door opener,
home or office lighting, you need to be at the
same location as the device. Note: Garage door
openers (manufactured after 1996) have “rolling
code protection”. To program a garage door
opener equipped with “rolling code protection”;
you will need to use a ladder to get up to the
garage door opener motor to be able to access
the “smart or learn” program button.
1. To begin, press and hold the 2 outer
HomeLink
buttons (to clear the memory)
until the indicator light blinks slowly (after 20
seconds). Release both buttons.
2. Position the end of the hand-held transmitter
1-3 inches away from the HomeLink
sur-
face.
