! HomeLink
®Wireless Control Sys-
tem
The HomeLink
®Wireless Control System
provides a convenient way to replace up
to three hand-held radiofrequency re-
motes used to activate devices such as
gate operators, garage door openers,
entry door locks, security 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 pro-
gramming videos can be found at
www.HomeLink.com and
www.youtube.com/HomeLinkGentex.
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 gar-
age door opener model manufac-
tured 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
Instruments and controls/Mirrors
–CONTINUED –3-75

Instruments and controls/Mirrors
new battery be placed in the
hand-held remote (garage door
opener remote) of the device for
quicker and more accurate train-
ing.
. Turn the ignition switch to the
“ ON ”or “ACC ”position before
programming and/or operating
HomeLink
®.
. Keep the hand-held remote (gar-
age door opener remote) of the
device you are programming for
use in other vehicles as well as
for future HomeLink
®program-
ming. It is also suggested that
upon the sale of the vehicle, the
programmed HomeLink
®buttons
be erased for security purposes.

better at a distance of 6 to 12 inches
(15 to 20 cm). Keep this in mind if you
have difficulty with the programming
process.

dures noted in the “Gate Operator /
Canadian Programming ”section. Refer
to “Gate Operator / Canadian Program-
ming ”F 3-78.
1) Indicator Light
4. Press the HomeLink®button that you
would like to program and observe the
indicator light.
.If the indicator light remains con-
stant green, your device should oper-
ate when the HomeLink
®button is
pressed. At this point, if your device
operates, programming is complete.
. If the indicator light rapidly flashes
green, firmly press, hold for two
seconds and release the HomeLink
®button up to three times to complete
the programming process. At this point
if your device operates, programming
is complete. If the device does not
operate, continue with the next step of
the programming instructions.
1) “Learn ”button
5. At the garage door opener motor,
(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 motor-
head unit (see the device ’s manual to
identify this button). The name and color
of the button may vary by manufacturer.
NOTE
A ladder and/or second person may
simplify the following steps.

Gate Operator / Canadian Pro-
gramming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter remote 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 U.S. gate operators are de-
signed 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 transmit-
ting.
If you live in Canada or you are having
difficulties programming a gate operator or
garage door opener by using the program-
ming procedures, replace “Programming a
New HomeLink
®button ”step 3 with the
following:
While the HomeLink
®indicator light is
flashing orange, press and release (“cy-
cle ”)yourdevice ’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.
NOTE
If programming a garage door opener
or gate operator, it is advised to unplug
3-78

the device during the“cycling ”pro-
cess to prevent possible overheating.
Proceed with “Programming a New
HomeLink
®button ”step 4 to complete.
! Using HomeLink
®
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 pro-
grammed 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 “clos-
ing ”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 Commu-
nication
1) Status Indicators
Within 5 seconds after programming a
new HomeLink®button, both of Home-
Link ’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.
If the garage door status indicators do not
flash, additional HomeLink

start the engine.
. People with delicate skin may
suffer slight burns even at low
temperatures if they use the
Heated Steering Wheel for a long
period of time. When using the
Heated Steering Wheel, always
be sure to warn the persons
concerned.
. Do not cover the Heated Steering
Wheel with an object such as a
steering wheel cover. Doing so
may cause the Heated Steering
Wheel to overheat.
NOTE
. If the surface temperature of the
steering wheel is approximately above
104 8F (40 8C) when the switch is turned
on, the system will not heat the steer-
ing wheel. Then, the indicator light will
continue to illuminate.
