Before programming HomeLink

®

 During programming, it is possible

that garage doors, gates, or other

devices may operate. For this rea-
son, make sure that people and
objects are clear of the garage door
or other devices to prevent injury or
other potential harm.

 It is recommended that a new bat-

tery be placed in the remote control
transmitter for more accurate pro-
gramming.

 Garage door opener motors manu-

factured after 1995 may be
equipped with rolling code protec-
tion. 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
opener motor.
