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.


HomeLink® Universal Transceiver HomeLink® is a registered trademark of Johnson Controls., Inc.


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.


Important Safety Precautions


Refer to the safety information that comes 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.
