NOTE

Some devices may require you to replace

this Programming Step 2 with procedures

noted in the “Gate Operator / Canadian Pro-

gramming” section. If the HomeLink indica-

tor light does not change to a rapidly blink-

ing light after performing these steps, con-

tact HomeLink at www.homelink.com.

3.

Firmly

press, hold for five seconds and

release

the programmed HomeLink but-

ton 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 con-

stantly, 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 con-

stant light continue with “Program-

ming” steps 4-6

to complete the pro-

gramming 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 pro-

grammed 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 trans-

mitter signals to “time-out” (or quit) after sev-

eral 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 difficul-

ties programming a gate operator or garage

door opener by using the “Programming” pro-

cedures,

replace “Programming HomeLink”

step 2 with the following

:

•

Continue to press and hold the HomeLink

button while you

press and release -

every two seconds

(“cycle”) your hand-

held transmitter until the HomeLink indica-

tor 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 com-

plete.

Using HomeLink

To operate, simply press and release the pro-

grammed 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 difficul-

ties or questions, contact HomeLink at:

www.homelink.com.
