Programming and Information
Guide
The HomeLink® Wireless Control System provides a convenient way to replace up to three handheld radio-frequency (RF) transmitters used to activate devices such as gate operators, garage
door openers, entry door locks, security systems, and even home lighting. For compatible
products and video programming instructions, please visit www.HomeLink.com,
www.youtube.com/HomeLinkGentex, or call the toll-free (US Only) helpline at 1-800-3553515).
Before Programming HomeLink
Do not use HomeLink with any garage door opener that lacks safety stop and reverse
features as required by U.S. federal safety standards (this includes any garage door opener
model manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door that cannot detect an object signaling the door to stop and reverse - does not meet current U.S. federal safety standards.
Before programming HomeLink to a garage door opener or gate operator, make sure that
people and objects are out of the way of the device to prevent potential harm or damage.
When programming a garage door opener, it is advised to park outside of the garage.
Notes
Garage door opener motors manufactured after 1995 may be equipped with rolling code
protection. If this is the case, you may need a stepladder or other sturdy, safe device to
reach the “Learn” or “Smart” button on the garage door motor.
Retain the original transmitter of the RF device you are programming for use in other
vehicles as well as for future HomeLink programming.
It is suggested that upon the sale or lease termination of the vehicle, the programmed
HomeLink buttons be erased for security purposes. Refer to “Erasing HomeLink Buttons”
later in these instructions.
You can program a maximum of three devices. To change or replace any of the three
devices after it has been initially programmed, you must first erase the current settings.
See ‘Erasing HomeLink Buttons’ or ‘Reprogramming a Single HomeLink Button’ later in
these instructions.

Programming a New HomeLink
Note: Some vehicles may require the ignition switch to be turned on or to the second
(“accessories”) position for programming and/or operation of HomeLink. It is also
recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the device being
programmed to HomeLink for quicker training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency
signal.
1. Press the HomeLink button that you would like to program. The indicator light will flash
orange slowly (if not, refer to “Erasing HomeLink Buttons” later in these instructions). You
do not need to continue holding the HomeLink button.
2. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter 1–3 inches (2–8 cm) away from the
HomeLink button while keeping the indicator light in view.
Note: Some hand-held transmitters may actually train better a distance of 6-12
inches (15-20 cm). Keep this in mind if you have difficulty with the Programming
Process.
3. Press and hold the hand-held transmitter button while watching the indicator light on
HomeLink. Continue pressing the button until the HomeLink indicator light changes from
slowly flashing orange to either rapidly flashing green (rolling code) or continuously lit (fixed
code) green. Now you may release the hand-held transmitter button.
Note: Some devices may require you to replace this “Programming a New HomeLink”
step 3 with procedures noted in the “Gate Operator / Canadian / European
Programming” section. If the HomeLink indicator light does not change to rapidly flashing
green or continuously lit green after performing these steps, contact HomeLink at
www.HomeLink.com
4. Press the newly programmed HomeLink button and observe the indicator light.

If the indicator light stays on constantly green, programming is complete and your
device should operate when the HomeLink button is pressed and released.

If the indicator light rapidly flashes green, firmly 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. At this point if your device operates, programming is
complete.

If the device does not operate, continue with “Programming a New HomeLink”
steps 5-7 to complete the programming of a rolling code equipped device.
5. 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 (see the Garage Door Opener manual to identify the “Learn Button”).

Figure 1: Approximate Learn Button Location
Note: A ladder and/or second person may simplify the following steps.
6. Firmly press and release the “Learn” or “Smart” button. (The name and color of the button
may vary by manufacturer.) There are typically 30 seconds to initiate step 7.
7. Return to the vehicle and firmly 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.
In the event that there are still programming difficulties or questions, additional
HomeLink information and programming videos can be found online at
www.HomeLink.com, youtube.com/HomeLinkGentex or by calling the HomeLink Hotline.
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. The indicator LED on the hand-held transmitter will go off when
the device times out indicating that it has finished transmitting.
If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties programming a gate operator or garage door
opener by using the “Programming” procedures, replace “Programming a New 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.
3. Press and release - every two seconds (“cycle”) your hand-held transmitter until the
HomeLink indicator light changes from a slowly flashing orange to either rapidly flashing

green (rolling code) or continuously lit green (fixed code). Now you may release the
hand-held transmitter button.
Proceed with “Programming a New HomeLink” step 4 to complete.
Additional Steps for Programming a Door System with Feedback
The HomeLink has the capability of receiving Garage Door Status from compatible Garage Door
Opener Systems. Check your Garage Door Opener Manual for the available feature and
HomeLink compatibility. Also for a listing of compatible systems contact HomeLink at:
www.HomeLink.com
1. Within 5 seconds after programming the garage door opener has been completed (refer
to Programming a New HomeLink section), both garage door operation indicators will
flash rapidly green indicating that the garage door feedback has been enabled.
If the indicators do not flash, perform Steps 2 and 3 within the first (10) presses of the HomeLink
button after successful programming:
2. Press and release the trained HomeLink button to activate the door. You now have 1
minute in which to complete step 2.
3. Once the door has stopped, press and release the “Learn” or “Smart” Button on the
Garage Door Opener (refer to your GDO owner's manual for the location of the “Learn”
button). Both the HomeLink garage door operation indicators will flash rapidly green
upon successful synchronization with the Door Opener (within 5 seconds).

Using HomeLink
To operate, simply press and release the programmed HomeLink button. Activation will now
occur for the trained device (i.e. garage door opener, gate operator, security system, entry door
lock, home/office lighting, etc.). For convenience, the hand-held transmitter of the device may
also be used at any time.
Garage Door Feedback
The HomeLink has the capability of receiving Garage Door Status from compatible Garage Door
Opener Systems. Check your Garage Door Opener Manual for the available feature and
HomeLink compatibility. Also for a listing of compatible systems contact HomeLink at:
www.homelink.com.
Garage Door Status is then displayed with two arrow-shaped indicators (see figure below):
Figure 3: Garage Door Status Indication
The HomeLink has the capability of listening to these messages at a range up to 250m (open
line of sight), but range may be reduced by obstacles such as houses or trees. You may have
to slow your vehicle speed to receive the CLOSED or OPENED message feedback from the
Garage Door Opener.
Recall of the door state after initial feedback is possible by simultaneously pressing either
buttons 1 and 2 or buttons 2 and 3 for two seconds. The last recorded message will be
displayed for 3 seconds, again following the Garage Door Status Indication of Figure 3 above.
Erasing HomeLink Buttons
To erase programming from the three buttons (individual buttons cannot be erased but can be
“reprogrammed” as outlined below), follow the step noted:
HomeLink and the HomeLink house are registered trademarks of Gentex Corporation.
1. Press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons for at least 10 seconds. The LED indicator
will change from continuously lit to rapidly flashing.
2. Release both buttons.
Note: Do not hold for longer than 20 seconds.
3. HomeLink is now in the train (or learning) mode and can be programmed at any time
beginning with “Programming a New HomeLink” - step 1.
Reprogramming a Single HomeLink Button
To program a device to HomeLink using a button previously trained, follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink button. DO NOT release the button.
2. The indicator light will begin to slowly flash orange after 20 seconds. The HomeLink button
can be released at this point. Proceed with “Programming a New HomeLink” - step 2
3. If you do not complete the programming of a new device to the button, it will revert to the
previously stored programming.
