Programming the Universal
Remote System
For questions or help programming
the Universal Remote system,
call 1 800 355 3515 or go to
www.homelink.com.
Programming a garage door opener
involves time-sensitive actions, so
read the entire procedure before
starting. Otherwise, the device will
time out and the procedure will have
to be repeated.
To program up to three devices:
1. Hold the end of the hand-held
transmitter about 3 to 8 cm
(1 to 3 in) away from the
Universal Remote system
buttons while keeping the
indicator light in view.
The hand-held transmitter was
supplied by the manufacturer of
the garage door opener receiver
(motor-head unit).
2. At the same time, press and
hold both the hand-held
transmitter button and one of the
three Universal Remote system
buttons to be used to operate
the garage door. Do not release
the Universal Remote system
button or the hand-held
transmitter button until the
indicator light changes from a
slowly to a rapidly flashing light.
You now may release both
buttons.
Some entry gates and garage
door openers may require
substitution of Step 2 with the
procedure noted in Gate
Operator and Canadian
Programming later in this
section.
Instruments and Controls
3. Press and hold for five seconds
the newly trained Universal
Remote system button (the
button selected in Step 2) while
observing the indicator light and
garage door activation.
If the indicator light stays on
continuously or the garage
door starts to move when
the Universal Remote
system button is pressed
and released, then the
programming is complete.
There is no need to
continue programming
Steps 4 through 6.
If the Universal Remote
system indicator light blinks
rapidly for two seconds,
then turns to a constant
light and the garage door
does not move, continue
with programming Steps 4
through 6.
It may be helpful to have
another person assist with
the remaining Steps 4
through 6.
