remote transmitter you wish to link 1 - 3 inches 
(3 - 8 cm) from the HomeLink button you want to 
program, then follow steps 3 - 6 under 
“programming a button.”

Erasing Button Memory
To erase programming from the buttons, press and hold 
the two outside HomeLink buttons until the HomeLink 
indicator changes from 

orange to rapidly flashing green

. 

This should take about 10 seconds. You should erase all
