ELECTRONICS UNIVERSAL GARAGE DOOR OPENER (HomeLink®) Programming HomeLink® Begin Programming • The HomeLink® buttons are located in the overhead console. • Erase all channels before you begin programming by holding the two outside buttons for up to 20 seconds until the red indicator flashes. • Park your vehicle outside of the garage and turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position. • Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 in (3 to 8 cm) from the HomeLink® buttons while keeping the indicator light in view. • Simultaneously, press and hold both the chosen HomeLink® button and the hand-held transmitter button until the HomeLink® indicator flash rate changes from a slow to a rapidly blinking light, then release both the HomeLink® and the hand-held transmitter buttons. This may take up to 30 seconds, or longer in rare cases. • Press and hold the just-programmed HomeLink® button; if the indicator light stays on constantly, programming is complete and the garage door should open. NOTE: • Only use this transceiver with a garage door opener that has a "stop and reverse" feature as required by Federal safety standards. This includes most garage door opener models manufactured after 1982. Do not use a garage door opener without these safety features. Call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 or, on the Internet, at www.HomeLink.com for safety information or assistance. • If you are having difficulty programming your HomeLink® and your garage door opener was manufactured after 1995, you may have a rolling code. Follow the steps below for Programming A Rolling Code System. Programming A Rolling Code System • At the garage door opener motor (in the garage), locate the "learn" or "programming" button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the garage door opener motor (it is NOT the button normally used to open and close the door). • Firmly press and release the "learn" or "programming" button. The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer. Within 30 seconds, return to the vehicle and press the programmed HomeLink® button twice (holding the button for two seconds each time). If the device is plugged in and activates, programming is complete. • If the device does not activate, press the button a third time (for two seconds) to complete the programming. 40
