When Driving
Switches and Controls
If the indicator light blinks rapidly for
two seconds and then turns to a constant
light, continue with "Programming"
steps 7—9 to complete the programming
of a rolling code equipped device (most
commonly a garage door opener).
7. 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.
8. Firmly press and release the "learn" or
"smart" button. (The name and color of
the button may vary by manufacturer.)
NOTE
Complete the programming within 30
seconds.
9. Return to the vehicle and fi rmly press,
hold for two seconds and release the
programmed HomeLink 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 process.
HomeLink should now activate your
rolling code equipped device.
NOTE
To program the remaining two HomeLink
buttons, begin with "Programming" —
step 1

Gate operator/Canadian
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 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
diffi culties programming a gate operator
by using the "Programming" procedures
(regardless of where you live), replace
"Programming HomeLink" step 3 with
the following:
NOTE
If programming a garage door opener or
gate operator, it is advised to unplug the
device during the "cycling" process to
prevent possible overheating.
Continue to press and hold the HomeLink
button while you press and release
— every two seconds ("cycle") your
hand-held transmitter until the frequency
signal has successfully been accepted by
HomeLink. (The indicator light will fl ash
slowly and then rapidly.)
Proceed with "Programming" step 4 to
complete.
Operating the HomeLink System
Press the programmed HomeLink button
to operate a programmed device. The
code will continue being transmitted for a
maximum of 20 seconds.
