3-82 Instruments and controls/Mirrors ! HomeLink ® Wireless Control Sys- tem S03AP0704 The HomeLink ® Wireless Control System provides a convenient way to replace up to three hand-held radio-frequency remotes used to activate devices such as gate operators, garage door openers, entry door locks, security systems, even home lighting. The below steps are generic programming instructions; for Genie and Sommer garage door openers please go directly to the HomeLink website. Addi- tional information and programming vi- deos can be found at www.HomeLink.com and www.youtube.com/HomeLinkGentex. 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. . When programming a garage door opener, it is advised to park outside of the garage. . Do not use HomeLink with any garage door opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features as required by U.S. federal safety standards (this includes any gar- age door opener model manufac- tured before April 1, 1982). A garage door that cannot detect an object signaling the door to stop and reverse does not meet current U.S. federal safety stan- dards. . It is also recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand- held 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 pro- gramming and/or operation of HomeLink. . Keep the hand-held remote (gar- age door opener remote) of the device you are programming for use in other vehicles as well as for future HomeLink program- ming. It is also suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle, the programmed HomeLink buttons be erased for security purposes. Refer to “Erasing HomeLink But- tons” F3-85. !
