Operating the HomeLink Universal Transmitter Once it is programmed, the HomeLink Universal Transmitter can be used in place of your hand-held transmitter(s). To operate, simply press the appropriate button on the HomeLink Transmitter. The red light comes on while the signal is being transmitted. NOTE: If your hand-held transmitter appears to program the HomeLink Transmitter, but does not open your garage door, and if your garage door opener was manufactured after 1995, your garage door opener may have a "code protected" or "rolling code" feature. A "rolling code" type of system will change the "code" of your garage door opener every time you open or close your garage door. To determine if you have one of these systems, depress the button on the HomeLink Transmitter that you programmed. If the red light on the HomeLink Transmitter flashes rapidly for 1-2 seconds, then remains on, your garage door opener has a rolling code system. Training a Garage Door Opener Equipped with "Rolling Codes" To train your "rolling code" garage door opener to operate from your HomeLink Transmitter, follow these steps: 1. Program your hand-held transmitter to the HomeLink Transmitter by following the procedures outlined in the "Programming" section of these instructions. (If you already completed this programming, proceed to the next instruction.) Train your garage door opener receiver to recognize your HomeLink Transmitter. (Your garage door opener receiver will learn to recognize the HomeLink Transmitter by following the same procedures used to train the hand-held transmitter.) 2. 104
