Introduction

Programming HomeLink

NOTE

WARNING

If you use HomeLink to open a garage

door or gate, be sure no one is near the

gate or door while it is in motion.

•

Some vehicles may require the ignition to be

switched on or be in the “accessories” posi-

tion for programming and/or operation of

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 training and accu-

rate transmission of the radio-frequency

signal. The HomeLink buttons must be reset

first. When this has been completed, Home-

link is in learning mode so that you can per-

form programming.

When programming a garage 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 garage door opener model manu-

factured before April 1, 1982). A garage

door that cannot detect an object - sig-

naling the door to stop and reverse -

does not meet current U.S. federal

safety standards. For more information,

contact HomeLink at:

1. Position the end of your hand-held trans-

mitter 1–3 inches (5–14 cm) away from the

HomeLink button you wish to program

while keeping the indicator light in view.

The HomeLink¹Wireless Control System pro-

vides a convenient way to replace up to three

hand-held radio-frequency (RF) transmitters

used to activate devices such as gate opera-

tors, garage door openers, entry door locks,

security systems, even home lighting. Addi-

tional HomeLink information can be found on

the Internet at www.homelink.com or by phon-

ing the hotline at 1–800–355–3515.

www.homelink.com.

2. Simultaneously press and hold both the

chosen HomeLink and hand-held transmit-

ter buttons until the HomeLink indicator

light changes from a slow to a rapidly blink-

ing light. Now you may release both the

HomeLink and hand-held transmitter but-

tons.

Retain the original transmitter of the RF device

you are programming for use in other vehicles

as well as for future HomeLink programming. It

is also suggested that upon the sale of the

vehicle, the programmed HomeLink buttons be

erased for security purposes. Refer to “Reset-

ting HomeLink Buttons” on page 89.

tor light does not change to a rapidly blink-

ing light after performing these steps, con-

tact HomeLink at www.homelink.com or by

phoning the hotline at 1–800–355–3515.

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.

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.

Proceed with “Programming” step 3 to com-

plete.

Using HomeLink

To operate, simply press and hold the pro-

grammed HomeLink button until the trained

device begins to operate (this may take several

seconds). 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 difficulties or questions,

contact HomeLink at: www.homelink.com or

by phoning the hotline at 1–800–355–3515.

stantly, programming is complete

and your device should activate when

the HomeLink button is pressed and

released.

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 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).

door opener by using the “Programming” pro-

To program a device to HomeLink using a

HomeLink button previously trained, follow

these steps:

NOTE

If the ignition is switched off, HomeLink will

function for 30 minutes after the driver's

door has been opened.

The transmitter has been tested and com-

plies with FCC and IC rules. Changes or

modifications not expressly approved by

the party responsible for compliance could

void the user’s authority to operate the

Use the following procedure to reset (erase

programming) from the three HomeLink but-

tons (individual buttons cannot be reset but

can be “reprogrammed” as outlined in the fol-

lowing section):

2. The indicator light will begin to flash after

20 seconds. Without releasing the Home-

Link button, proceed with “Programming”

- step 1.

3515.

1. Press and hold the two outer HomeLink

buttons until the indicator light begins to

flash.

This device complies with FCC rules part 15

and Industry Canada (IC) RSS-210. Operation

is subject to the following two conditions: (1)

This device may not cause harmful interfer-

ence, and (2) This device must accept any

interference that may be received including

interference that may cause undesired opera-

tion.

2. Release both buttons.

> HomeLink is now in the training (or

learning) mode and can be programmed

at any time beginning with “Program-

ming” - step 1.

The term “IC:” before the certification/registration number only signifies that Industry Canada technical specifications were met.
