Programming A Rolling Code
For programming garage door openers that were manufac-
tured after 1995. These garage door openers can be identified
by the “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button located where the
hanging antenna is attached to the garage door opener.
NOTE:
It is NOT the button that is normally used to open and close
the door. The name and color of the button may vary by
manufacturer.
Training The Garage Door Opener 1. Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position.
2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm)
away from the HomeLink® button you wish to program
while keeping the HomeLink® indicator light in view.
3. Push and hold the HomeLink® button you want to program while you push and hold the hand-held trans-
mitter button.
4. Continue to hold both buttons and observe the indicator light. The HomeLink® indicator will flash slowly and
then rapidly after HomeLink® has received the
frequency signal from the hand-held transmitter. Release
both buttons after the indicator light changes from slow
to rapid.
5. At the garage door opener motor (in the garage), locate the “LEARN” or “TRAINING” button. This can usually
be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to
the garage door opener/device motor. Firmly push and
release the “LEARN” or “TRAINING” button. On some
garage door openers/devices there may be a light that
blinks when the garage door opener/device is in the
LEARN/TRAIN mode.
NOTE:
You have 30 seconds in which to initiate the next step after
the LEARN button has been pushed.

6. Return to the vehicle and push the programmed Home-
Link® button twice (holding the button for two seconds
each time). If the garage door opener/device activates,
programming is complete.
NOTE:
If the garage door opener/device does not activate, push the
button a third time (for two seconds) to complete the
training. To program the remaining two HomeLink® buttons, re -
peat each step for each remaining button. DO NOT erase
the channels.
Reprogramming A Single HomeLink Button (Rolling
Code)
To reprogram a channel that has been previously trained,
follow these steps:
1. Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position.
2. Push and hold the desired HomeLink® button until the indicator light begins to flash after 20 seconds. Do not
release the button. 3. Without releasing the button proceed with “Program
-
ming A Rolling Code” step 2 and follow all remaining
steps."
Programming A Non-Rolling Code
For programming Garage Door Openers manufactured
before 1995.
1. Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position.
2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink® button you wish to program
while keeping the HomeLink® indicator light in view.
3. Press and hold the HomeLink® button you want to program while you press and hold the hand-held trans-
mitter button.
4. Continue to hold both buttons and observe the indicator light. The HomeLink® indicator will flash slowly and
then rapidly after HomeLink® has received the
frequency signal from the hand-held transmitter. Release
both buttons after the indicator light changes from slow
to rapid.

5. Press and hold the programmed HomeLink® button andobserve the indicator light.
• If the indicator light stays on constantly, programming is complete and the garage door/device should acti -
vate when the HomeLink® button is pressed.

erase the channels.
Reprogramming A Single HomeLink® Button (Non-Rolling
Code)
To reprogram a channel that has been previously trained,
follow these steps:
1. Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position.
2. Press and hold the desired HomeLink® button until the indicator light begins to flash after 20 seconds. Do not
release the button.
3. Without releasing the button, proceed with “Program -
ming A Non-Rolling Code” step 2 and follow all
remaining steps.Canadian/Gate Operator Programming
For programming transmitters in Canada/United States that
require the transmitter signals to “time-out” after several
seconds of transmission.
Canadian Radio Frequency (RF) laws require transmitter
signals to time-out (or quit) after several seconds of transmis -
sion – which may not be long enough for HomeLink® to pick
up the signal during programming. Similar to this Canadian
law, some US gate operators are designed to time-out in the
same manner.
It may be helpful to unplug the device during the cycling
process to prevent possible overheating of the garage door or
gate motor.
1. Place the ignition inthe ON/RUN position.
2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink® button you wish to program
while keeping the HomeLink® indicator light in view.
3. Continue to press and hold the HomeLink® button, while you press and release (“cycle”) your hand-held trans-
mitter every two seconds until HomeLink® has success-
fully accepted the frequency signal. The indicator light
will flash slowly and then rapidly when fully trained.
