Programming
Do not program HomeLink
with the vehicle parked in the garage.
Note:
Your vehicle may require the ignition switch to be turned to the
ACC position for programming and/or operation of the 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 accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal.
1. Press and hold the two outside
buttons releasing only when the red
light begins to flash after 20
seconds.
Do not repeat step one to
program additional hand-held
transmitters to the remaining two
HomeLink
buttons. This will erase
previously programmed hand-held
transmitter signals into HomeLink
.
2. Position the end of your
hand-held transmitter 2–8 cm (1–3 inches) away from the HomeLink
button you wish to program (located on your visor) while keeping the
red light in view.

3. Simultaneously press and hold
both the HomeLink
and hand-held
transmitter button.
Do not release
the buttons until step 4 has been
completed.
Some entry gates and garage door
openers may require you to replace
step 3 with procedures noted in the
“Gate Operator and Canadian Programming” section for Canadian
residents.
4. The red light will flash slowly and then rapidly. Release both buttons
when the red light flashes rapidly. (The rapid flashing light indicates
acceptance of the hand-held transmitters’ radio frequency signals.)
5. Press and hold the just-trained HomeLink
button and observe the red
light. If the light is a constant red, programming is complete and your
device should activate when the HomeLink
button is pressed and
released.
Note: To program the remaining two HomeLink buttons,
begin with step 2 in the “Programming” section —
do not repeat step 1.
Note:
If the red light blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns to a
continuous red, proceed with steps 6 through 8 to complete
programming of a rolling code equipped device.
6. At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in the garage,
locate the “learn” or “smart” button (usually near where the hanging
antenna wire is attached to the unit).
7. Press and release the “learn” or “smart” button. (The name and color
of the button may vary by manufacturer.)
Note:
There are 30 seconds in which to initiate step eight.
8. Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for two seconds and
release the HomeLink
button. Repeat the press/hold/release sequence
again, 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.
HomeLink
should now activate your rolling code equipped device. To
program additional HomeLink
buttons begin with step 2 in the
“Programming” section. For questions or comments, please contact
HomeLink at
www.homelink.com or 1–800–355–3515.

Gate Operator & Canadian Programming
During programming, your
hand-held transmitter may
automatically stop transmitting —
not allowing enough time for
HomeLink
to accept the signal
from the hand-held transmitter.
After completing steps 1 and 2
outlined in the
“Programming”
section, replace step 3 with the following:
Note:
If programming a garage door opener or gate operator, it is
advised to unplug the device during the “cycling” process to prevent
overheating.
•
Continue to press and hold the HomeLink button (note step 3 in the
“Programming” section) while you press and release —
every two
seconds
(“cycle”) your hand-held transmitter until the frequency
signal has been accepted by the HomeLink
. The red indicator light
will flash slowly and then rapidly after HomeLink
accepts the radio
frequency signal.
•
Proceed with step 4 in the “Programming” section.
Operating the HomeLink
Wireless Control System
To operate, simply press and release
the appropriate HomeLink
button.
Activation will now occur for the
trained product (garage door, gate
operator, security system, entry
door lock, or home or 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, contact HomeLink
at www.homelink.com or
1–800–355–3515.
