Important Safety Precautions Always refer to the operating instructions and safety information that came with your garage door opener or other equipment you intend to operate with the HomeLink Universal Transmitter. If you do not have this information, you should contact the manufacturer of the equipment. While training or using the transmitter, make sure you have a clear view of the garage door or gate, and that no one will be injured by its movement. General Information If you are training the transmitter to operate a garage door or gate, it is recommended that you unplug the motor for that device during training. Repeatedly pressing the remote control button could burn out the motor. The HomeLink transmitter stores the code in a permanent memory. There should be no need to retrain the transmitter if your vehicle's battery goes dead or is disconnected. If your garage door opener was manufactured before April 1982, you may not be able to program the HomeLink Universal Transmitter to operate it. Garage door openers manufactured before that date do not have a safety feature that causes them to stop and reverse if an obstacle is detected during closing, increasing the risk of injury. If you have questions, call (800)355-3515. Training the Transmitter Before you can use the HomeLink Universal Transmitter to operate devices around your home, it must "learn" the proper codes.
