NOTE: Garage door openers (manufactured after 1996) have “rolling code protection.”
To program a garage door opener equipped with “rolling code protection,” you will
need to use a ladder to get to the garage door opener motor to be able to access the
“smart or learn” program button.
PROGRAMMING YOUR HOMELINK
®
UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER (Mirror,
Sun Visor or Overhead Console)
1. To begin, press and hold the
two outer HomeLink
®
buttons
(to clear the memory) until the
indicator light blinks slowly (after
20 seconds). Release both buttons.
2. Position the end of the handheld
transmitter 1-3 in (26-76 mm)
away from the HomeLink
®
surface.
3. Using both hands, simultaneously press and hold both the HomeLink
®
button you
want to program and the handheld transmitter button. DO NOT release the
buttons until step 4 has been completed.
4. Hold down both buttons until the indicator light on the HomeLink
®
flashes, changing
from a “slow blink” to a “rapidly flashing blink.” This could take up to 90 seconds.
When the indicator light flashes rapidly, both buttons may be released. The rapidly
flashing light indicates successful programming. To activate the garage door or other
programmed device, press and hold the programmed HomeLink
®
button - releasing
when the device begins to activate.
5. If the indicator light on the HomeLink
®
blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns
solid, HomeLink
®
has picked up a “rolling code” garage door opener signal. You will
need to proceed with the next steps to train the HomeLink
®
to complete the
programming, which may require a ladder and another person for convenience.
6. Press and release the “smart” or “learn” program button located on the garage door
opener’s motor to activate the “training mode.” This button is usually located near the
antenna wire that hangs down from the motor. If the wire originates from under a light
lens, you will need to remove the lens to access the program button.
NOTE: Once you have pressed and released the program button on the garage
door opener’s motor and the “training light” is lit, you have 30 seconds in which
to perform step 7. Use the help of a second person for convenience to assist when
performing this step.
7. Quickly, within 30 seconds of pressing and releasing the garage door opener
program button, firmly press and release the HomeLink
®
button you’ve just programmed.
Press and release the HomeLink
®
button up to three times to complete the training.
8. Your HomeLink
®
button should now be programmed. (To program the remaining
HomeLink
®
buttons for additional door or gate openers, follow steps 2-8 only).
