CAUTION

D When programming the HomeLinkR Universal Transceiver, you may be operating a garage door or other device. Make sure people and ob- jects are out of the way of the ga- rage door or other device to pre- vent potential harm or damage.

D Do not use this HomeLinkR Univer- sal Transceiver with any garage door opener that lacks the safety stop and reverse feature as re- quired by federal safety standards. (This includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982.) A garage door open- er which cannot detect an object (signaling the door to stop and re- verse), does not meet current feder- al safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these features increases risk of serious injury or death.
