 Universal Transceiver

The HomeLink

®

 Universal Transceiver can be programmed to operate up to three 

remote controlled devices around your home, such as garage doors, lighting, or 
home security systems.

Refer to the safety information that came with your garage door opener to test that 
the safety features are functioning properly. If you do not have the safety 
information, contact the manufacturer.

Before programming HomeLink, make sure that people and objects are out of the 
way of the garage or gate to prevent potential injury or damage.

When programming a garage door opener, park just outside the garage door’s path.

Before programming HomeLink to operate a garage 
door opener, confirm that the opener has an external 
entrapment protection system, such as an “electronic 
eye,” or other safety and reverse stop features. If it 
does not, HomeLink may not be able to operate it.

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