seconds in which to initiate step eight.
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.
9. HomeLink(R) should now activate your rolling code equipped device.
10. To program the remaining two HomeLink(R) buttons, begin with "Programming" step two. Do not repeat step one.
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 EVIC display will show "CHANNEL X TRAINED" (where X is
Channel 1, 2, or 3). Proceed with "Programming" step four to complete.

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 Universal Transceiver if the vehicle is in range of the
motorized device. Do not train the 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.
To program a device to HomeLink(R) using a HomeLink(R) button previously trained, follow these steps:
-
Press and hold the desired HomeLink(R) button (4). Do NOT release the button.
-
The Electronic Vehicle Information center (EVIC) display will show "Channel X Transmit" (where X is Channel 1, 2, or 3) for 20 seconds and
then change to "Channel X Training". Without releasing the HomeLink(R) button, proceed to step 3.
-
Position the end of your hand-held transmitter 1-3 inches (3-8 cm) away from the HomeLink(R) buttons.
-
Simultaneously press and hold both the HomeLink(R) button that you want to train and the hand-held transmitter buttons. Do not release the
buttons until step 5 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.
