The Garage Door Opener (GDO) is programmed by using the
customers hand held transmitter.
Important: Do not use the GDO with any garage door opener that does not have the
stop and reverse safety feature. This includes any garage door opener model
manufactured before April 1, 1982.
Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage door you are
programming.
Garage Door Opener Programming
Turn the ignition OFF while programming the transmitter. Follow these
steps to program up to three channels:
- If you have previously programmed a transmitter, proceed to step
2. Otherwise, hold down the two outside buttons on the GDO transmitter until
the light on the GDO transmitter begins to flash rapidly (approximately
20 seconds). Then release the buttons. This procedure initializes the
memory and erases any previous settings for all three channels.
- Decide which of the three channels you want to program.
- Hold the end of the hand held transmitter against the front surface
of the GDO (less than one inch) so you can still see the light.
- Using both hands, press the hand-held transmitter button and the
desired button on the GDO transmitter. Continue to hold both buttons through
step 5.
- Hold down both buttons until you see the light on the GDO transmitter
flash slowly and then rapidly. The rapid flashing, which could take up to
90 seconds, indicates that the GDO transmitter has been programmed.
Release both buttons once the light starts to flash rapidly.
Training GDO for Rolling Code Receivers
This procedure is for training the customer's rolling code garage door
openers to their GDO transmitter. The GDO must already be programmed to their
hand-held transmitter. The training process below must be completed within
30 seconds or it must be repeated.
- Locate the train button on the garage door opener receiver. (Reference
the operators manual for the garage door opener or call 1-800-355-3515
for assistance). Follow instructions for the garage door opener to know
when the unit is in train mode.
- Return to the GDO transmitter in the vehicle and press the button
that you want programmed three times for one second each time.
- Re-press to verify that the GDO transmitter has been programmed.
You may use either the hand-held transmitter or the GDO to open the
garage door.
The GDO is compatible with most, but not all types and brands of transmitters.
If a problem should occur with a compatibility conflict with a transmitter,
call HomeLinkā¢ at 1-800-355-3515.
Erasing Channels
To erase all three programmed channels, hold down the two outside buttons
until the light on the GDO transmitter begins to flash. Individual channels
cannot be erased, but can be reprogrammed using the Garage Door Opener
Programming procedure.
