HomeLink® Wireless Control System*
– introduction
HomeLink®
can be used to open
garage
doors, gates, etc.
Retain the original transmitter of the RF
device you are programming for use in other
vehicles as well as for future HomeLink pro-
gramming. It is also suggested that upon the
sale of the vehicle, the programmed Home-
Link buttons be erased for security purposes.
Refer to “Resetting HomeLink Buttons” in
HomeLink® Wireless Control System* – pro-
gramming (p. 110).
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.
When programming a garage door
opener, it is advised to park outside of
the garage.

03
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 manufactured before April 1,
1982). A garage door that cannot
detect an object - signaling the door to
stop and reverse - does not meet cur-
rent U.S. federal safety standards. For
more information, contact HomeLink
Using HomeLink
To operate, simply press and hold the pro-
grammed HomeLink button until the trained
device begins to operate (this may take sev-
eral 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 conven-
ience, 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:
HomeLinkGentex or by phoning the hotline at
1–800–355–3515.
The HomeLink®21 Wireless Control System
provides a convenient way to replace up to
three hand-held radio-frequency (RF) trans-
mitters used to activate devices such as gate
operators, garage door openers, entry door
locks, security systems, even home lighting.
