Instruments and controls/Mirrors NOTE If programming a garage door opener or gate operator, it is advised to unplug the device during the “cycling” pro- cess to prevent possible overheating. Proceed with “Programming a New HomeLink Button” step 4 to complete. ! 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, secur- ity system, entry door lock, home/office lighting, etc.). For convenience, the hand- held remote of the device may also be used at any time. ! 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: Press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons for at least 10 seconds. The LED indicator will change from continuously lit to rapidly flashing. Release both buttons. Do not hold for longer than 20 seconds. HomeLink is now ready to be programmed at any time beginning with “Programming a New HomeLink Button” - step 1. ! Reprogramming a Single HomeLink Button To program a previously trained button, 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 Button” - step 3. 3. If you do not complete the program- ming of a new device to the button, it will revert to the previously stored program- ming. 3-85 Range may be reduced by obstacles such as houses or trees. You may have to slow your vehicle speed to successfully receive the garage door opener communication. ! Programming Two-Way Commu- nication ! Garage Door Two-Way Commu- nication HomeLink has the capability of commu- nicating with your garage door opener. HomeLink can receive and display “clos- ing” or “opening” status messages from compatible garage door opener systems. At any time, HomeLink can also recall and display the last recorded status commu- nicated by the garage door opener to indicate your garage door being “closed” or “opened”. Within five seconds after programming a new HomeLink button, both of HomeLink’s garage door status indicators will flash rapidly green indicating that the garage door two-way communication has been enabled. If your garage door status indicators flashed, two-way communica- tion programming is complete. HomeLink has the capability of receiving this communication from the garage door opener at a range up to 820 feet (250 m). If the garage door status indicators do not flash, additional HomeLink information and programming videos can be found 1) Status Indicators – CONTINUED –
