garage door opener or other
device. Make sure that people
and objects are out of the way
of the garage door opener or
other device to prevent potential
harm or damage.
. Do not use the HomeLink
®Wire-
less Control System with any
garage door opener that lacks
the safety stop and reverse fea-
ture 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 fea-
tures increases risk of serious
injury or death. For more infor-
mation, consult the HomeLink
website at www.homelink.com
or call 1-800-355-3515.
CAUTION
When programming the HomeLink
®Wireless Control System to operate
a garage door opener or an entrance
gate, unplug the device ’s motor
from the outlet during programming
to prevent motor burnout. NOTE .
After programming your HomeLink
®Wireless Control System for the de-
sired devices, retain the hand-held
transmitters for further programming
or device testing in the event of aproblem..It is recommended that you insert a
new battery in the hand-held transmit-
ter of a device to ensure correctprogramming. & Garage door opener pro-
gramming in the U.S.A.
NOTE
When programming the HomeLink
®Wireless Control System for a garage
door opener, it is suggested that you
park the vehicle outside the garage.
1. Unplug the motor of the garage door
opener from the outlet. NOTE
When reprogramming any of the
HomeLink
®buttons that are already
programmed for other devices, perform
the procedure in step 2.
2. Press and hold the two outside HomeLink®buttons until the indicator light
begins to flash (after 10 seconds). Re-
lease both buttons.
3. Hold the end of the garage door opener ’s hand-held transmitter between
1 and 3 inches (25 and 76 mm) away from
the HomeLink
®buttons on the driver ’s sun
visor, keeping the indicator light in view.

4. Using both hands, simultaneously
push the hand-held transmitter button
and the desired HomeLink
®button. DO
NOT release the buttons until step 5 has
been completed.
5. Hold down both buttons until the HomeLink
®indicator light flashes, first
slowly then rapidly. When the indicator
light flashes rapidly, both buttons may be
released. (The rapidly flashing light indi-
cates successful programming of the new
frequency signal.)
6. Press and hold the programmed but-
ton and check the HomeLink
®indicator
light. If the indicator light stays on con-
tinuously, your garage door should acti-
vate and the programming is completed.
If the indicator light flashes rapidly for 2
seconds and then stays on continuously, your garage door opener may be pro-
tected by a rolling code feature. In this
case you need to perform additional steps.
