Programming a New HomeLink Button
Press and release the HomeLink button that you would like to
program. The HomeLink indicator light will flash orange slowly
(if not, refer to “Erasing HomeLink Buttons” →P. 328).
Position the hand-held remote
(garage door opener remote) 1
to 3 in. (2 to 8 cm) away from the
HomeLink button that you would
like to program.
Some hand-held remotes (garage
door opener remotes) may actu-
ally train better at a distance of 6
to 12 in. (15 to 20 cm). Keep this
in mind if you have difficulty with
the programming process.
While the HomeLink indicator
light is flashing orange, press
and hold the hand-held remote
button. Continue pressing the
hand-held remote button until the
HomeLink indicator light
changes from orange to green.
You may now release the hand-
held remote button.
Some devices may require you to
replace this “Programming a New
HomeLink Button” with
procedures noted in the “Gate
Operator / Canadian Program-
ming” section. Refer to “Gate
Operator / Canadian Program-
ming”. ( →P. 327)

tions, additional HomeLink infor-

■ Gate Operator / Canadian Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter remote signals
to “time-out” (or quit) after several seconds of transmission, which
may not be long enough for HomeLink to pick up the signal during
programming. Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate opera-
tors are designed to “time-out” in the same manner. The indicator
LED on the hand-held remote will go off when the device times out,
indicating that it has finished transmitting.
If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties programming a
gate operator or garage door opener by using the programming
procedures, replace “Programming a New HomeLink Button”
with the following:
While the HomeLink indicator light is flashing orange, press and
release (“cycle”) your device’s hand-held remote every two sec-
onds until the HomeLink indicator light changes from orange to
green. You may now release the hand-held remote button.
If programming a garage door opener or gate operator, it is advised to
unplug the device during the “cycling” process to prevent possible over-
heating.
Proceed with “Programming a New HomeLink Button” to com-
plete.

Using HomeLinkTo operate, simply press and release the programmed HomeLink but-
ton. Activation will now occur for the trained device (i.e. garage door
opener, gate operator, security system, entry door lock, home/office
lighting, etc.). For convenience, the handheld remote of the device
may also be used at any time.
Reprogramming a Single HomeLink ButtonTo program a previously trained button, follow these steps: Press and hold the desired HomeLink button. DO NOT
release the button.
The indicator light will begin to slowly flash orange after 20
seconds. The HomeLink button can be released at this point.
Proceed with “Programming a New HomeLink Button” -.
If you do not complete the programming of a new device to
the button, it will revert to the previously stored programming.
Erasing HomeLink Buttons
To erase programming from the three buttons (individual buttons can-
not be erased but can be “reprogrammed” as outlined below), follow
the step noted:
Press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons for at least 10 sec-
onds. The LED indicator will change from continuously lit to rapidly
flashing. Release both buttons. Do not hold for longer than 20 sec-
onds. HomeLink is now ready to be programmed at any time begin-
ning with “Programming a New HomeLink Button” - .
