1. Introduction The Homelink Extra and Homelink Extra II can be programmed using a PSION Organiser II programmer.

2. Using the PSION Programmer To program Homelink with the PSION programmer: Connect the programmer to Homelink using the special cable. Record the program from the Homelink unit into the programmer. Make any changes to the program on the programmer. Transmit the changed program back into Homelink.
