▼ HomeLink
® Wireless Control
System
The HomeLink
® Wireless Control System
provides a convenient way to replace up
to three hand-held radio frequency
remotes used to acti vate devices such as
gate operators, garage door openers,
entry door locks, se curity systems, even
home lighting. The below steps are
generic programming instructions; for
Genie and Sommer garage door openers
please go directly to the HomeLink
®
website. Additional information and
programming videos can be found at www.HomeLink.com and

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.
 When programming a garage
door opener, it is advised to park
outside of the garage. Do not use HomeLink
® with any
garage door opener that lacks
safety stop and reverse features
as required by U.S. federal safety
standards (this includes any
garage door opener model manu-
factured 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 stan-
dards.
 It is also recommended that a new
battery be placed in the hand-
held remote (garage door opener
remote) of the device for quicker
and more accurate training.

P191).1) Garage door opener remote2. Position the hand-held remote (garage
door opener remote) 1 to 3 inches (2 to 8
cm) away from the HomeLink
® button that
you would like to program.
NOTESome hand-held remotes (garage door

better at a distance of 6 to 12 inches
(15 to 30 cm). Keep this in mind if you
have difficulty with the programming
process.
 Turn the ignition switch to the
“ON” or “ACC” position before
programming and/or operating

for use in other vehicles as well
as for future HomeLink
®
programming. It is also
suggested that upon the sale of
the vehicle, the programmed

1) Indicator Light4. Press the HomeLink
® button that you
would like to program and observe the
indicator light.
If the indicator light remains
constant green, your device should
operate when the HomeLink
® button is
pressed. At this point, if your device

 If the indicator light rapidly flashes
green, firmly press, hold for two
seconds and release the HomeLink

(security gate motor, etc.) locate the
“Learn”, “Smart”, or “Program” button.
This can usually be found where the
hanging antenna wire is attached to the

to identify this button). The name and
color of the button may vary by manufac-
turer.NOTEA ladder and/or second person may
simplify the following steps.

Genie and Sommer garage door openers
please go directly to the HomeLink

▽ Gate Operator/Canadian
Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter remote signals to “time-out” (or quit) after several se
conds of transmis-
sion, which may not be long enough for
HomeLink
® to pick up the signal during
programming. Similar to this Canadian
law, some U.S. gate operators 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”
step 3 with the following:
While the HomeLink
® indicator light is
flashing orange, press and release
(“cycle”) your device’s hand-held remote
every two seconds until the HomeLink
®
indicator light changes from orange to
green. You may now release the hand-
held remote button.NOTEIf programming a garage door opener
or gate operator, it is advised to
unplug the device during the “cycling”
process to prevent possible overheat-
ing.

To operate, simply press and release the
programmed HomeLink
® button. Activa-
tion 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
hand-held remote of the device may also
be used at any time.
▽Erasing HomeLink® buttons
To erase programming from the three
buttons (individual buttons cannot 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 seconds. The LED
indicator will change from continuously lit
to rapidly flashing. Release both buttons.
Do not hold for longer than 20 seconds.
HomeLink
® is now ready to be
programmed at any time beginning with
“Programming a New HomeLink
® button”-
step 1. ▽
Reprogramming a Single
HomeLink
® button
To program a previously trained button,
follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the desired
HomeLink
® button. DO NOT release the
button.
2. 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”- step 3.
3. If you do not complete the program-
ming of a new device to the button, it will
revert to the previously stored program-
ming.
▽Garage Door Two-Way Commu -
nication
HomeLink® has the capability of commu-
nicating with your garage door opener.
HomeLink® can receive and display
“closing” or “opening” status messages
from compatible garage door opener
systems. At any time, HomeLink
® can
also recall and display the last recorded
status communicated by the garage door
opener to indicate your garage door being
“closed” or “opened”. HomeLink
® has the capability of receiving

this communication from the garage door
opener at a range up to 820 feet (250 m).
Range may be reduced by obstacles such
as houses or trees. You may have to slow
your vehicle speed to successfully receive
the garage door opener communication.
▽Programming Two-Way
Communication
1) Status IndicatorsWithin 5 seconds after programming a
new HomeLink
® button, both of
HomeLink’s garage door status indicators
will flash rapidly green indicating that the
garage door two-way communication has
been enabled. If your garage door status
indicators flashed, two-way communica-
tion programming is complete.

WARNING
 When programming the
HomeLink
® Wireless Control
System, you may be operating a
garage door opener or other
device. Make sure that people
and objects are out of the way of
the garage door or other device to
prevent potential harm or
damage.
 Do not use the HomeLink
® Wire-
less Control System with a
garage door opener that lacks the
safety stop and reverse feature as
required by applicable safety
standards. A garage door opener
which cannot detect an object,
signaling the door to stop and
reverse, does not meet these
safety standards. Using a garage
door opener without these
features increases risk of serious
injury or death. For more informa-
tion, consult the HomeLink

website at www.HomeLink.com
or call 1-800-355-3515.
