Programming and Information Guide The HomeLink Wireless Control System provides a convenient way to replace up to three hand-
held radio-frequency (RF) transmitters used to activate devices such as gate operators, garage door openers, entry door locks, security systems, even home lighting. Additional HomeLink information can be found on the Internet at www.homelink.com. Precautions!
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 manufactured 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 standards. For more information, contact HomeLink at: www.homelink.com. Certain garage door drives are incompatible with HomeLink Wireless Control System. If you have any difficulty programming, please contact the HomeLink Hotline Assistance Center at 1-
800-355-3515. Retain the original transmitter of the RF device you are programming 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 HomeLink buttons be erased for security purposes. Refer to Erasing HomeLink Buttons. Programming HomeLink Note: Some vehicles may require the ignition switch to be turned on or to the second
(accessories) position for programming and/or operation of HomeLink. It is also recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLink for quicker training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal. 1. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter 13 inches (514 cm) away from the HomeLink button you wish to program while keeping the indicator light in view. 2. Simultaneously press and hold both the chosen HomeLink and hand-held transmitter buttons until the HomeLink indicator light changes from a slow to a rapidly blinking light. Now you may release both the HomeLink and hand-held transmitter buttons. Note: Some devices may require you to replace this Programming Step 2 with procedures noted in the Gate Operator / Canadian Programming section. If the HomeLink indicator light does not change to a rapidly blinking light after performing these steps, contact HomeLink at www.homelink.com. 3. Firmly press, hold for five seconds and release the programmed HomeLink button up to two separate times to activate the door. If the door does not activate, press and hold the just-
trained HomeLink button and observe the indicator light. If the indicator light stays on constantly, programming is complete and your device should activate when the HomeLink button is pressed and released. If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns to a constant light continue with Programming steps 4-6 to complete the programming of a rolling code equipped device (most commonly a garage door opener). 4. At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in the garage, locate the learn or smart button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit. 5. Firmly press and release the learn or smart button. (The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer.) There are 30 seconds to initiate step 6. 6. Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for two seconds and release the programmed HomeLink button. Repeat the press/hold/release sequence a second time, and, depending on the brand of the garage door opener (or other rolling code equipped device), repeat this sequence a third time to complete the programming process. HomeLink should now activate your rolling code equipped device. Gate Operator /
Canadian Programming Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter 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 operators are designed to time-out in the same manner. 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 HomeLink step 2 with the following:
Note: If programming a garage door opener or gate operator, it is advised to unplug the device during the cycling process to prevent possible overheating. 2. Continue to press and hold the HomeLink button while you press and release - every two seconds (cycle) your hand-held transmitter until the HomeLink indicator light changes from a slow to a rapidly blinking light. Now you may release both the HomeLink and hand-held transmitter buttons. Proceed with Programming step 3 to complete. Using HomeLink To operate, simply press and release the programmed HomeLink button. 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 hand-held transmitter of the device may also be used at any time. In the event that there are still programming difficulties or questions, contact HomeLink at: www.homelink.com. 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 until the indicator light begins to flash-after 10 seconds. Release both buttons. Do not hold for longer that 20 seconds. HomeLink is now in the train (or learning) mode and can be programmed at any time beginning with Programming - step 1. Reprogramming a Single HomeLink Button To program a device to HomeLink using a HomeLink button previously trained, follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink button. DO NOT release the button. 2. The indicator light will begin to flash after 20 seconds. Without releasing the HomeLink button, proceed with Programming - step 1 For questions or comments, contact HomeLink at: www.homelink.com or 18003553515. interference This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s).
