Wireless Control Sys-

tem

s03ap1003

The HomeLink

Wireless Control System

provides a convenient way to replace up to

three hand-held radio frequency remotes

used to activate devices such as gate

operators, garage door openers, entry

door locks, security systems, even home

lighting. The below steps are generic

programming instructions; for Genie and

Sommer garage door openers please go

directly to the HomeLink

website. Addi-

tional information and programming vi-

deos can be found at www.HomeLink.

CAUTION

. Before programming HomeLink

to a garage door opener or gate

operator, make sure that people

and objects are out of the way of

the device to prevent potential

harm or damage.

door opener, it is advised to park

outside of the garage.

. Do not use HomeLink

with any

garage door opener that lacks

safety stop and reverse features

as required by U.S. federal safety

standards (this includes any gar-

age door opener model manufac-

tured before April 1, 1982). A

garage door that cannot detect

an object signaling the door to

stop and reverse does not meet

current U.S. federal safety stan-

dards.

. It is also recommended that a new

battery be placed in the hand-

held remote (garage door opener

remote) of the device for quicker

and more accurate training.

. Turn the ignition switch to the

“ON” or “ACC” position before

programming and/or operating

HomeLink

. Keep the hand-held remote (gar-

age door opener remote) of the

device you are programming for

use in other vehicles as well as

for future HomeLink

program-

ming. It is also suggested that

upon the sale of the vehicle, the

programmed HomeLink

buttons

be erased for security purposes.

! Gate Operator/Canadian Pro-

gramming

s03ap100302

Canadian radio-frequency laws require

transmitter remote signals to “time-out”

(or quit) after several seconds of transmis-

sion, 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 de-

signed to “time-out” in the same manner.

The indicator LED on the hand-held

remote will go off when the device times

out, indicating that it has finished transmit-

ting.

If you live in Canada or you are having

difficulties programming a gate operator or

garage door opener by using the program-

ming procedures, replace “Programming a

New HomeLink

button” step 3 with the

following:

While the HomeLink

indicator light is

flashing orange, press and release (“cy-

cle”) your device’s hand-held remote every

two seconds until the HomeLink

indicator

light changes from orange to green. You

may now release the hand-held remote

button.

NOTE

If programming a garage door opener

or gate operator, it is advised to unplug

Mirrors

276

(279,1)

! Garage Door Two-Way Commu-

nication

s03ap100306

HomeLink

has the capability of commu-

nicating with your garage door opener.

HomeLink

can receive and display “clos-

ing” or “opening” status messages from

compatible garage door opener systems.

At any time, HomeLink

can also recall and

display the last recorded status commu-

nicated by the garage door opener to

indicate your garage door being “closed”

or “opened”.

HomeLink

has the capability of receiving

this communication from the garage door

opener at a range up to 820 feet (250 m).

Range may be reduced by obstacles such

as houses or trees. You may have to slow

your vehicle speed to successfully receive

the garage door opener communication.

! Programming Two-Way Commu-

nication

s03ap100307

1) Status Indicators

Within 5 seconds after programming a new

HomeLink

button, both of HomeLink’s

! Maintenance

s03ap1104

1) Camera

. Make sure to clean the Smart Rearview

Mirror and the area around the camera

regularly. If these parts are not clean, the

screen cannot be seen clearly.

. Wipe off the Smart Rearview Mirror and

the area around the camera by using a dry

soft cloth. If the foreign matter cannot be

removed, first wipe the area off using a wet

soft cloth, and then wipe using a dry cloth.

. Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner

for cleaning. Doing so could result in

discoloration, deterioration, or malfunc-

tion.

. Make sure to clean the rear camera

lens regularly. When you clean the rear

camera lens, first soak a soft cloth with

diluted mild detergent to wipe it off, and

wipe using a dry cloth.

. During snowy weather, remove the

accumulated snow from around the anten-

na, because snow interferes with the

camera image on the mirror.

. When installing a roof box or a similar

accessory, do not block the area in front of

the camera lens to avoid interfering with

the camera image on the mirror.

. When the Smart Rearview Mirror’s

visibility is poor because there is dirt or

other foreign material adhering to the

camera, switch to the original rearview

mirror.

Pay attention to traffic conditions for safe

driving.

. Adjust the brightness of the screen

appropriately. If the screen is too bright,

the driver’s eyes may get tired while

driving.

. The Smart Rearview Mirror sometimes

becomes hot. However, this is not a

malfunction.

! Gate Operator/Canadian Pro-

gramming

s03ap110803

Canadian radio-frequency laws require

transmitter remote signals to “time-out”

(or quit) after several seconds of transmis-

sion, 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 de-

signed to “time-out” in the same manner.

The indicator LED on the hand-held

remote will go off when the device times

out, indicating that it has finished transmit-

ting.

If you live in Canada or you are having

difficulties programming a gate operator or

garage door opener by using the program-

ming procedures, replace “Programming a

New HomeLink Button” step 3 with the

following:

While the HomeLink indicator light is

flashing orange, press and release (“cy-

cle”) your device’s hand-held remote every

two seconds until the HomeLink indicator

light changes from orange to green. You

may now release the hand-held remote

button.

NOTE

If programming a garage door opener

or gate operator, it is advised to unplug

the device during the “cycling” process

to prevent possible overheating.

Proceed with “Programming a New

HomeLink Button” step 4 to complete.

! Using HomeLink

s03ap110804

To operate, simply press and release the

programmed HomeLink button. Activation

will now occur for the trained device (i.e.

garage door opener, gate operator, secur-

ity system, entry door lock, home/office

lighting, etc.). For convenience, the hand-

held remote of the device may also be

used at any time.

! Garage Door Two-Way Commu-

nication

s03ap110807

HomeLink has the capability of commu-

nicating with your garage door opener.

HomeLink can receive and display “clos-

ing” or “opening” status messages from

compatible garage door opener systems.

At any time, HomeLink can also recall and

display the last recorded status commu-

nicated by the garage door opener to

indicate your garage door being “closed”

or “opened”.

HomeLink has the capability of receiving

this communication from the garage door

opener at a range up to 820 feet (250 m).

Range may be reduced by obstacles such

as houses or trees. You may have to slow

your vehicle speed to successfully receive

the garage door opener communication.

! Programming Two-Way Commu-

nication

s03ap110808

1) Status Indicators

Within five seconds after programming a

new HomeLink button, both of HomeLink’s

garage door status indicators will flash

rapidly green indicating that the garage

door two-way communication has been

enabled. If your garage door status in-

dicators flashed, two-way communication

programming is complete.

If the garage door status indicators do not

flash, additional HomeLink information

WARNING

. When programming the

HomeLink

Wireless Control Sys-

tem, you may be operating a

garage door opener or other

device. Make sure that people

and objects are out of the way of

the garage door or other device

to prevent potential harm or da-

. Do not use the HomeLink

Wire-

less Control System with a gar-

age door opener that lacks the

safety stop and reverse feature

as required by applicable safety

standards. A garage door opener

which cannot detect an object,

signaling the door to stop and

reverse, does not meet these

safety standards. Using a garage

door opener without these fea-

tures increases risk of serious

injury or death. For more infor-

mation, consult the HomeLink
