Programming Homelink(R) Transceiver Codes
PROGRAMMING HOMELINK(R) TRANSCEIVER CODES
Programming Common HomeLink(R) Transmitter Codes
WARNING: Vehicle exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a dangerous gas. Do not run the vehicle's exhaust while training the transceiver. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
WARNING: Your motorized door or gate may open and close while you are training the HomeLink(R) Transceiver if the vehicle is in range of the motorized device. Do not train the HomeLink(R) transceiver if people or pets are in the path of the door or gate. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
NOTE: When programming a garage door opener, it is advised to park outside the garage. It is also recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLink(R) for quicker training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal.
NOTE: If programing the HomeLink(R) transceiver is unsuccessful using the following procedure, refer to the Owner's Manual for the current customer assistance phone number.
1. Press and hold the two outer HomeLink(R) buttons, and release only when the indicator light begins to flash (after 20 seconds). Do not hold the buttons for longer than 30 seconds and do not repeat step one to program a second and/or third hand-held transmitter to the remaining two HomeLink(R) buttons.
2. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter 3-8 cm (1-3 inches) away from the HomeLink(R) buttons while keeping the indicator light in view.
3. Simultaneously press and hold both the HomeLink(R) buttons that you want to train and the hand-held transmitter button. Do not release the buttons until step 4 has been completed.NOTE: Some gate operators and garage door openers may require you to replace this Programming Step 3 with procedures noted in the "Gate Operator/Canadian Programming".
4. The HomeLink(R) indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly after HomeLink(R) successfully receives the frequency signal from the hand-held transmitter. Release both buttons after the indicator light changes from the slow to the rapid flash.
5. Press and hold the just trained HomeLink(R) button and observe the indicator light. If the indicator light stays on constantly, programming is complete and your device should activate when the HomeLink(R) button is pressed and released.NOTE: To program the remaining two HomeLink(R) buttons, begin with "Programming" step 2. Do not repeat step 1.
If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns to a constant light, continue with "Programming" steps 6-8 to complete the programming of a rolling code equipped device (most commonly a garage door opener).
6. At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in the garage, locate the "learn" or "smart" button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit.
7. Firmly 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 8.
8. Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for two seconds and release the programmed HomeLink(R) 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.
HomeLink(R) should now activate your rolling code equipped device.
NOTE: To program the remaining two HomeLink(R) buttons, begin with "Programming" step 2. Do not repeat step 1.
Canadian Programming/Gate Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter signals to "time-out" (or quit) after several seconds of transmission which may not be long enough for HomeLink(R) 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 you live in Canada or you are having difficulties programming a gate operator by using the "Programming" procedures (regardless of where you live), replace "Programming HomeLink(R)" step 3 with the following:
NOTE: When programming a garage door opener or gate operator, it is advised to unplug the device or move the vehicle out of range during the "cycling" process to prevent possible overheating.
- 3. Continue to press and hold the HomeLink(R) button while you press and release every two seconds ("cycle") your hand-held transmitter until the frequency signal has successfully been accepted by HomeLink(R). (The indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly.) Proceed with "Programming" step 4 to complete.
