1. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter 1–3 inches (2–8 cm)
away from the HomeLink
௡ button you wish to program while keeping the
indicator light in view.
2. Simultaneously press and hold both the chosen HomeLink
௡ and
hand-held transmitter buttons until the HomeLink
௡ indicator light
changes from a slow to a rapidly blinking light. Now you may release
both the HomeLink
௡ and hand-held transmitter buttons.
Note: Some entry gates and garage door openers may require you to
replace Step 2 with procedures noted in the Gate Operator and
Canadian Programming section for Canadian residents.
3. Firmly press and hold for five seconds and release the
programmed HomeLink
௡ button up to two separate times to activate the
door. If the door does not activate, press and hold the just-trained
HomeLink
௡ button and observe the indicator light.
• If the indicator light stays on constantly, programming is complete
and your device should activate when the HomeLink
௡ button is pressed
and released.
• If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns
to a constant light continue with “Programming” Steps 4 through
6 to complete programming of a rolling code equipped device (most
commonly a garage door opener).
4. At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in the garage,
locate the “learn” or “smart” button (usually near where the hanging
antenna wire is attached to the unit).
5. 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 6.
6. Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for two seconds and
release the HomeLink
௡ button. Repeat the press/hold/release
sequence again 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.
