HOMELINK

姞 WIRELESS CONTROL SYSTEM

The HomeLink

威 Wireless Control System, located on the header trim,

provides a convenient way to replace up to three hand-held transmitters
with a single built-in device. This feature will learn the radio frequency
codes of most current transmitters to operate garage doors, entry gate
operators, security systems, entry door locks, and home or office lighting.

When programming your HomeLink

威 Wireless Control System to

a garage door or gate, be sure that people and objects are out of

the way to prevent potential harm or damage.

Do not use the HomeLink

威 Wireless Control System 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 which cannot
detect an object, signaling the door to stop and reverse, does not meet
current U.S. federal safety standards. For more information, contact
HomeLink

威 at: www.homelink.com or 1–800–355–3515.

Retain the original transmitter for use in other vehicles as well as for
future programming procedures (i.e. new HomeLink

威 equipped vehicle

purchase). It is also suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle, the
programmed Homelink

威 buttons be erased for security purposes, refer to

Programming in this section.

Programming

Do not program HomeLink

威 with the vehicle parked in the garage.

Note: Some vehicles may require the ignition switch to be turned to the
second (or “ACC”) position for programming and/or operation of the
HomeLink

威. It is also recommended that a new battery be placed in the

hand-held transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLink

威 for

quicker training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal.

1. Press and hold the two outside
buttons releasing only when the
amber light begins to flash after 20
seconds. Do not repeat step one to
program additional hand-held
transmitters to the remaining two
HomeLink

威 buttons. This will erase

previously programmed hand-held
transmitter signals into HomeLink

威.

2. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter 2–8 cm (1–3 inches)
away from the HomeLink

威 button you wish to program (located on the

header trim) while keeping the amber light in view.

3. Simultaneously press and hold
both the HomeLink

威 and hand-held

transmitter button. Do not release
the buttons until step 4 has been
completed.

Some entry gates and garage door
openers may require you to replace
step 3 with procedures noted in the
“Gate Operator and Canadian Programming” section for Canadian
residents.

4. The amber light will flash slowly and then rapidly. Release both
buttons when the amber light flashes rapidly. (The rapid flashing light
indicates acceptance of the hand-held transmitters’ radio frequency
signals.)
