HOMELINK® UNIVERSAL

TRANSCEIVER (IF SO EQUIPPED)

The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver provides

a convenient way to consolidate the functions of

up to three individual hand-held transmitters into

one built-in device.

PROGRAMMING HOMELINK®

WARNING

If you have any questions or are having difficulty

programming your HomeLink® buttons, refer to

the HomeLink® web site at: www.homelink.com

or call 1-800-355-3515.

•

Do not use the HomeLink® Universal

Transceiver with any garage door

opener that lacks safety stop and re-

verse features as required by federal

safety standards. (These standards be-

came effective for opener models

manufactured after April 1, 1982.) A

garage door opener that cannot detect

an object in the path of a closing ga-

rage door and then automatically stop

and reverse, does not meet current

federal safety standards. Using a ga-

rage door opener without these fea-

tures increases the risk of serious in-

jury or death.

During the programming procedure,

your garage door or security gate will

open or close (if the transmitter is

within range). Make sure that people

or objects are clear of the garage door,

gate, etc. that you are programming.

Place the power switch in the ACC or

ON position while programming the

HomeLink® Universal Transceiver.

HomeLink® Universal Transceiver:

• Will operate most Radio Frequency (RF) de-

vices such as garage doors, gates, home and

office lighting, entry door locks and security

systems.

NOTE:

Place the ignition switch in the ACC posi-

tion when programming 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 programming and accurate

transmission of the radio-frequency.

• Is powered by the vehicle’s 12-volt battery. No

separate batteries are required. If the vehicle’s

12-volt battery is discharged or is discon-

nected, HomeLink® will retain all programming.

Once the HomeLink® Universal Trans-

ceiver is programmed, retain the original

transmitter for future programming proce-

dures (for example, new vehicle pur-

chases). Upon sale of the vehicle, the pro-

4. At the receiver located on the garage door

opener motor in the garage, locate the “learn”

or “smart” button (the name and color of the

button may vary by manufacturer but it is

usually located near where the hanging an-

tenna wire is attached to the unit). If there is

difficulty locating the button, reference the

garage door opener’s manual.

5. Press and release the “learn” or “smart”

button.

6. Return to the vehicle and firmly press and hold

the trained HomeLink® button for two sec-

onds and release. Repeat the “press/hold/

release” sequence up to 3 times to complete

the training process. HomeLink® should now

activate your rolling code equipped device.

hold the desired HomeLink® button and

Please use a ladder or other device. Do not

stand on your vehicle to perform the next

steps.

Some devices may require you to re-

stop transmitting. Continue to press and hold

the desired HomeLink® button while you

press and re-press (“cycle”) your hand-held

transmitter every two seconds until the fre-

quency signal has been learned. The

HomeLink® indicator light will flash slowly

and then rapidly after several seconds upon

successful training. DO NOT release until the

HomeLink® indicator light flashes slowly and

then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes

rapidly, both buttons may be released. The

rapid flashing indicates successful training.

For convenience, the hand-held transmitter of the

device may also be used at any time.

PROGRAMMING HOMELINK® FOR

CANADIAN CUSTOMERS AND

GATE OPENERS

Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmit-

ter 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 training. Similar to this Canadian law,

some U.S. gate operators are designed to “tim-

eout” in the same manner.

PROGRAMMING TROUBLE-

DIAGNOSIS

If HomeLink® does not quickly learn the hand-

held transmitter information, perform the follow-

ing steps.

• Replace the hand-held transmitter batteries

with new batteries.

• Position the hand-held transmitter with its bat-

tery area facing away from the HomeLink®

surface.

If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties

training a gate operator or garage door opener

by using the “Training” procedures, replace “Pro-

gramming HomeLink®” Step 2 with the follow-

ing:

Proceed with “Programming HomeLink®” step 3

to complete.

• Push and hold both the HomeLink® and hand-

held transmitter buttons without interruption.

If the device was unplugged during the program-

ming procedure, remember to plug it back in

when programming is completed.

• Position the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 inches

(2 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink® surface.

Hold the transmitter in that position for up to 15

seconds. If HomeLink® is not programmed

within that time, try holding the transmitter in

another position while keeping the indicator

light in view at all times.

NOTE:

When programming a garage door opener,

etc., unplug the device during the “cycling”

process to prevent possible damage to the

garage door opener components.
