Guide

The HomeLink® Wireless Control System provides a convenient way to replace up to three hand-

held radio-frequency (RF) transmitters used to activate devices such as gate operators, garage

door openers, entry door locks, security systems, and even home lighting. For compatible

products and video programming instructions, please visit www.HomeLink.com

or call the helpline at (0) 0800 046 635 465 (Europe),

Before Programming HomeLink

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.

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.

When programming a garage door opener, it is advised to park outside of the garage.

Notes

Garage door opener motors manufactured after 1995 may be equipped with rolling code

protection. If this is the case, you may need a stepladder or other sturdy, safe device to

reach the “Learn” or “Smart” button on the garage door motor.

It is recommended that a new battery be placed in the remote control transmitter for

quicker training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal.

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 suggested that upon the sale or lease termination of the vehicle, the programmed

HomeLink buttons be erased for security purposes. Refer to “Erasing HomeLink Buttons”

later in these instructions.

You can program a maximum of three devices. To change or replace any of the three

devices after it has been initially programmed, you must first erase the current settings.
