WARNING: A GARAGE DOOR OPENING SYSTEM THAT CANNOT STOP OR REVERSE ITSELF AFTER DETECTING AN OBJECT IN ITS PATH DOES NOT MEET CURRENT FEDERAL SAFETY STANDARDS. TO DECREASE THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH, DO NOT USE THIS HOMELINK(R) TRANSMITTER WITH A DOOR OPENING SYSTEM THAT LACKS STOP AND REVERSE FEATURES AS REQUIRED BY FEDERAL STANDARDS. THIS INCLUDES ANY GARAGE DOOR OPENING SYSTEM MANUFACTURED BEFORE APRIL 1, 1982.FOR MORE INFORMATION, CALL HOMELINK(R) CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE AT.

1. Verify the hand-held transmitter is operative.

CAUTION: During this procedure, the system that you are programming will be made to operate. Make sure that people or objects are clear of the garage door or gate being programmed.







2. Prepare for programming the universal transmitter by erasing all three channels by holding down the two outside buttons until the red light begins to flash (20-30 seconds). Release both buttons.
3. Select one of the universal transmitter channels to be programmed by pressing the desired button.
4. Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter 25-51 mm (1-2 in) from the front surface of the universal transmitter so that the red light can still be seen.







5. Use both hands to press the hand-held transmitter button and the desired button on the universal transmitter. Do not release either button.

NOTE: During programming, the hand-held transmitter may automatically stop transmitting after two seconds, which may not be long enough to program the universal transmitter. If programming this type of hand-held transmitter, continue to hold the button on the universal transmitter while re-pressing the hand-held transmitter button every two seconds (Canada only).

6. Hold down both buttons until the red light on the universal transmitter flashes, first slowly and then rapidly. Release both buttons when the rapid flashing begins. The universal transmitter has successfully learned the new frequency signal and can be used in place of the hand-held transmitter(s).
7. To operate, simply press the appropriate button on the universal transmitter. The red light is on while the signal is being transmitted.

NOTE: If the hand-held transmitter appears to program the universal transmitter but does not open the garage door, the garage door opener may have a "code protected" or "rolling code" feature.
