CAUTION
. 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 .

A garage door that cannot detect an object signaling the door to stop and reverse does not meet current U . S . federal safety standards .
. It is also recommended that a new battery be placed in the handheld remote ( garage door opener remote ) of the device for quicker and more accurate training .
. Some vehicles may require the ignition switch to be turned to the “ ON ” or “ ACC ” position for programming and / or operation of HomeLink .
. Keep the hand-held remote ( garage door opener remote ) of the device you are programming for use in other vehicles as well as for future HomeLink programming . It is also suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle , the programmed HomeLink buttons be erased for security purposes . Refer to “ Erasing HomeLink Buttons ” FP251 .
