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. Your motorized garage door or gate
will open and close while you are programming HomeLink. Do not program
HomeLink if people or pets are in the path of the door or gate. A
moving garage door or gate can cause serious injury or death to people
and pets or damage to objects.
Vehicle
exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a dangerous gas. Do not run the
vehicle's engine while programming HomeLink. Exhaust gas can cause
serious injury or death. 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 manufactured 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 standards.
If
programming a garage door opener or gate, it is advised to unplug the
device during the HomeLink programming and also if performing the
"cycling" process to prevent possible motor burn-up.
|
NOTE: Some vehicles may require the
ignition to be turned on or to the second (or “accessory” or ACC)
position for training and/or operation of HomeLink. It is also
recommended that a new battery be replaced in the hand held transmitter
of the device being trained to HomeLink for quicker training and
accurate transmission of the radio frequency.
1. |
For
first time training, press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons,
releasing only when the HomeLink indicator light begins to flash after
20 seconds. (Do not perform this step when training the additional
HomeLink buttons.) |
2. |
Position the hand-held transmitter 1-3 inches away from the HomeLink surface (located on your
mirror), keeping the HomeLink indicator light in view.
|
3. |
Using
both hands, simultaneously press and hold both the desired HomeLink
button and hand held transmitter button. 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.)
Note: Some garage door openers may require you to replace step 3 with the “cycling” procedure noted in the “View Canadian Instructions” section.
|
4. |
Press and hold the trained HomeLink button and observe the indicator light.
- If
the indicator light is solid/continuous, training is complete and your
device should activate when the HomeLink button is pressed and
released.
- If the indicator light blinks rapidly for 2 seconds and
then turns a solid/continuous light, proceed with the following
training instructions for a rolling code device. A second person may
make the following steps quicker and easier. Please use a ladder or
other device. Do not stand on your vehicle to perform the next steps.
|
5. |
At
the garage door opener receiver (motorhead unit) in the garage, locate
the “learn” or “smart” button (usually near where the hanging antenna
wire is attached to the unit). If there is difficulty locating the
training button, reference the garage door opener’s manual or contact us. |
6. |
Press
and release the “learn” or “smart” button (the name and color of the
button may vary by manufacturer). NOTE: Once the button is pressed,
there are 30 seconds in which to initiate the next step. |
7. |
Return
to the vehicle and firmly press and hold the trained HomeLink button
for two seconds and release. Repeat the “press/hold/release” sequence
up to 3 times to complete the training process. |
HomeLink should now activate your device.
Retain the original hand-held 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. To erase the programmed buttons, perform the procedure shown
in step number 1.
**To train additional HomeLink buttons, begin with step two.
