Programming and Information Guide The HomeLink Wireless Control System provides a convenient way to replace up to three hand- held radio-frequency (RF) transmitters used to activate devices such as gate operators, garage door openers, entry door locks, security systems, even home lighting. Additional HomeLink information can be found on the Internet at www.homelink.com . Product and vehicle specific programming videos and other HomeLink related information can also be found at YouTube.com listed at the end of this document. Precautions ! 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 garage door opener model manufactured 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 standards. For more information, contact HomeLink at: www.homelink.com . Retain the original transmitter of the RF 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”. Programming HomeLink Note: Some vehicles may require the ignition switch to be turned on or to the second (“accessories”) position for programming and/or operation of HomeLink. It is also recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLink for quicker training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal. 1. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter 1–3 inches (5–14 cm) away from the HomeLink button you wish to program while keeping the indicator light in view. 2. Simultaneously press and hold both the chosen HomeLink and hand-held transmitter buttons until the HomeLink indicator light changes from a slow to either a rapid blink (rolling code) or solid ON state (fixed code). Now you may release both the HomeLink and hand-held transmitter buttons. Note: Some devices may require you to replace this Programming Step 2 with procedures noted in the “Gate Operator / Canadian Programming” section. If the HomeLink indicator light does not change to a rapidly blinking light after performing these steps, contact HomeLink at www.homelink.com.

Firmly press, hold for five seconds and release the programmed HomeLink button up to two separate times to activate the door. If the door does not activate, press and hold the just- trained HomeLink button and observe the indicator light. If the indicator light stays on constantly, programming is complete and your device should activate when the HomeLink button is pressed and released. If the indicator light blinks continuously, continue with “Programming” steps 4-6 to complete the programming of a rolling code equipped device (most commonly a garage door opener). 4. At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in the garage, locate the “learn” or “smart” button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit. 5. Firmly press and release the “learn” or “smart” button. (The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer.) There are typically 30 seconds to initiate step 6. 6. Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for two seconds and release the programmed HomeLink button. Repeat the “press/hold/release” sequence a second time, and, depending on the brand of the garage door opener (or other rolling code equipped device), repeat this sequence a third time to complete the programming process. HomeLink should now activate your rolling code equipped device. Gate Operator / Canadian Programming Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter signals to “time-out” (or quit) after several seconds of transmission – which may not be long enough for HomeLink to pick up the signal during programming. Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are designed to “time-out” in the same manner. If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties programming a gate operator or garage door opener by using the “Programming” procedures, replace “Programming HomeLink” step 2 with the following: Note: If programming a garage door opener or gate operator, it is advised to unplug the device during the “cycling” process to prevent possible overheating. 2. Continue to press and hold the HomeLink button while you press and release - every two seconds (“cycle”) your hand-held transmitter until the HomeLink indicator light changes from a slow to either a rapid blink (rolling code) or solid ON state (fixed code). Now you may release both the HomeLink and hand-held transmitter buttons. Proceed with “Programming” step 3 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, security system, entry door lock, home/office lighting, etc.). For convenience, the hand-held transmitter of the device may also be used at any time. HomeLink and the HomeLink house are registered trademarks of Johnson Controls, Inc. In the event that there are still programming difficulties or questions, please review the training video listed at the YouTube.com location listed below. 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…

600 N. Centennial St. z Zeeland, MI 49464 z PHONE: 616‐772‐1800 z FAX: 616‐772‐2690 z http://www.gentex.com February 14, 2014 To whom it may concern, HomeLink® is a wireless transceiver capable of learning the frequency and code for a number of wireless command and control systems, notably garage door openers. When the HomeLink device enters train mode, it begins scanning frequencies from approximately 286 – 436MHz. When the HomeLink device finds energy above a predetermined threshold, it stops and analyzes it. If it determines that the energy is a valid signal, and that the signal is at a frequency not banned by the FCC, it decodes the signal and stored characteristics of the signal in non‐volatile memory for later retransmission. When the user presses a trained HomeLink button, the HomeLink device is powered up, and it reads from non‐volatile memory the information it needs to re‐create the trained signal. The duty factor of the signal to be transmitted is used to adjust the output power. This is true for duty factors from 80% to 30%. For signals below 30% duty factor, 30% is used in the calculations, and for signals above 80% duty factor, 80% is used in the calculations. These conditions are rarely if ever encountered, as virtually all systems the HomeLink device is compatible with have a duty factor between 30% and 50%. The HomeLink firmware is code‐protected so that it may not be read or modified. In addition, there are no hardware means by which the HomeLink device can be modified to transmit at anything other than the intended frequency. Todd Witkowski Software Engineer Gentex Corporation
