Programming the transceiver
1. The ignition switch must be turned to the "accessory" position (II) before programming the HomeLink Universal
Transceiver.
2. Begin by erasing all 3 factory default channels. Hold down the two outside buttons (the left and right buttons in the
illustration) on the HomeLink Universal Transceiver for about 20 seconds, until HomeLink's indicator light begins to
flash. Then release the buttons.
3. Hold your hand -held transmitter (garage door opener, for example) 2 to 5 in. (5 to 12 cm) away from the HomeLink
surface, keeping the indicator light in view. For placement questions, contact HomeLink toll-free 1-800-355-3515
(Internet: http://www.HomeLink.com
).
4. Using two hands, push and hold both your hand -held transmitter's button and the transceiver button you wish to
program. The indicator light will flash first slowly, then rapidly. Rapid flashing indicates that the HomeLink button has
been successfully programmed. Release both buttons.
5. If you are programming a rolling code-equipped device (e.g., garage door opener or entry door lock), refer to
"Programming rolling codes" on the next page to complete the programming process.
6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to program the other two transceiver buttons. If, after several attempts, you are unable to
successfully train the HomeLink Universal Transceiver to learn your hand -held transmitter's signal, contact HomeLink
toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Internet: http://www.HomeLink.com
).

WARNING!
If you use HomeLink to open a garage door or gate, be sure no one is near the gate or door while it is in motion. Do
not use the HomeLink Universal Transceiver with any garage door opener that lacks safety "stop" and "reverse"
features as required by federal safety standards. (This includes any garage door opener model manufactured before
April 1, 1982) A garage door opener that cannot "detect" an object, signalling the door to "stop" and "reverse" does
not meet current federal safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these features increases the risk of
serious injury or death. For more information on this matter, call toll-free 1-800-355-3515.

indicator light will flash first slowly, and then rapidly to indicate that the button has been successfully programmed.
