Programming and Information Guide 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 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 or by calling 1-800-355-3515. 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 or by calling: 1–800–355–3515. 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 “Programming” (step #1 only) or, for assistance, contact HomeLink at: www.homelink.com or by calling: 1-800-355-3515. Programming HomeLink Note: Some vehicles may require the ignition switch to be turned to the second (or “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. Do not repeat “Programming” - step one to train additional devices to a second or third HomeLink button. Begin with “Programming” – step two. 1. Press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons (buttons one and three) - releasing only when the indicator light begins to flash (afte r 10 seconds). Do not hold the buttons for longer than 30 seconds and do not repeat step one to program a second and/or third hand-held transmitter to the remaining two HomeLink buttons. 2. 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. 3. Simultaneously press and hold both the chosen HomeLink and hand-held transmitter buttons. Do not release the buttons until step 4 has been completed. (Note: Some gate operators and garage door openers may require you to replace this Programming Step 3 with procedures noted in the “Gate Operator / Canadian Programming” section.) Programming (cont’d.) 4. After the HomeLink indicator light changes from a slow to a rapidly blinking light, release both the HomeLink and hand-held transmitter buttons. Note: If the HomeLink indicator light does not change to a rapidly blinking light, contact HomeLink at www.homelink.com or call 1-800-355-3515 for assistance. 5. 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. Note: To program the remaining two HomeLink buttons, begin with “Programming” - step two. Do not repeat step one. If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns to a constant light continue with “Programming” steps 6-8 to complete the programming of a rolling code equipped device (most commonly a garage door opener). 6. 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. 7. Firmly press and release the “learn” or “smart” button. (The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer.) Note: There are 30 seconds in which to initiate step eight. 8. 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. Note: To program the remaining two HomeLink buttons, begin with “Programming” - step two. Do not repeat step one. For questions or comments, please contact HomeLink at www.homelink.com or 1–800–355–3515. 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 by using the “Programming” procedures (regardless of where you live), replace “Programming HomeLink” step 3 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. 3. Continue to press and hold the HomeLink button while you press and release - every two seconds (“cycle”) your hand-held transmitter until the frequency signal has successfully been acce…

600 N. Centennial St. z Zeeland, MI 49464 z PHONE: 616‐772‐1800 z FAX: 616‐772‐2690 z http://www.gentex.com February 25, 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 – 4 50MHz. 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
