Programming and Relearning
UNIVERSAL TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMINGWARNING: A garage door opening system that cannot stop or reverse itself after detecting an object in its path does not meet current federal safety standards. To decrease the risk of serious injury or death, do not use this HomeLink(R) universal transmitter with a door opening system that lacks stop and reverse features as required by federal standards. This includes any garage door opening system manufactured before April 1, 1982.
1. Verify the hand-held transmitter is operative.
2. Prepare for programming the universal transmitter. Erase all 3 channels by holding down the 2 outside buttons until the red indicator begins to flash (20-30 seconds). Release both buttons.
3. Select 1 of the 3 universal transmitter channels to be programmed by pressing the desired button.
4. Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter 25-51 mm (1-2 inches) from the front surface of the universal transmitter so that the red indicator can still be seen.
5. NOTE: For Canadian vehicles only: during programming, the hand-held transmitter may automatically stop transmitting after 2 seconds, which may not be long enough to program the universal transmitter. If programming this type of hand-held transmitter, continue to hold the button on the universal transmitter while re-pressing the hand-held transmitter button every 2 seconds.
Use both hands to press the hand-held transmitter button and the desired button on the universal transmitter. Do not release either button.
6. Hold down both buttons until the red indicator on the universal transmitter flashes, first slowly and then rapidly. Release both buttons when the rapid flashing begins. The universal transmitter has successfully learned the new frequency signal and can be used in place of the hand-held transmitter(s).
7. NOTE: A code-protected or rolling-code garage door opener may require further programming.
To operate, press the appropriate button on the universal transmitter. The red indicator is on while the signal is being transmitted.
8. To program additional hand-held transmitters repeat steps 3-6.
Training a Garage Door Opener Equipped With Rolling Codes
1. Program the hand-held transmitter to the universal transmitter.
2. Train the garage door opener receiver to recognize the universal transmitter.
1 Remove the cover panel from the garage door opener receiver.
2 Locate the training button on the garage door opener receiver. Location and color of the button may vary by manufacturer. Refer to the garage door opener instruction manual or Owner's Literature.
3 Press the training button on the garage door opener receiver for 1-2 seconds.
4 Press the programmed universal transmitter button for as long as the universal transmitter red indicator flashes (1-2 seconds). Release the button and re-press the button to confirm that the universal transmitter is trained to the receiver.
5 The garage door opener should recognize the universal transmitter.
Erasing Channels
1. NOTE: Individual channels cannot be erased, but can be reprogrammed using the procedures for programming.
To erase all 3 programmed channels, hold down the 2 outside buttons until the red indicator begins to flash (20-30 seconds). Release both buttons.
