Garage Door Opener Transmitter: Programming and Relearning
Programming Homelink(R) Transceiver Codes
PROGRAMMING HOMELINK(R) TRANSCEIVER 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. A moving
door or gate can cause serious injury or death to people and pets or damage to objects.
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 the HomeLink(R) transceiver 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.
-
Press and hold the two outer HomeLink(R) transceiver 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) transceiver buttons.
-
Position the end of your hand-held transmitter 3-8 cm (1-3 inches) away from the HomeLink(R) transceiver buttons while keeping the indicator
light in view.
-
Simultaneously press and hold both the HomeLink(R) transceiver button 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" section.
-
The HomeLink(R) transceiver 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 rapid flash.
-
Press and hold the just trained HomeLink(R) transceiver button and observe the indicator light. If the indicator light stays on constantly,
programming is complete and your device should activate when the button is pressed and released. NOTE: To program the remaining two
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).
-
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.
-
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.
-
Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for two seconds and release the programmed HomeLink(R) transceiver 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.
The HomeLink(R) transceiver should now activate your rolling code equipped device.
NOTE: To program the remaining two HomeLink(R) transceiver 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
the HomeLink(R) transceiver 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) Transceiver Codes" 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) transceiver button while you press and release every two seconds ("cycle") your hand-held
transmitter until the frequency signal has successfully been accepted. The indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly. Proceed with
"Programming" step 4 to complete.
