GM Chevrolet Avalanche - Manual (Page 127)

Programming the HomeLink ®
Transmitter
Do not use the HomeLink ® Transmitter with any garage
door opener that does not have the “stop and reverse”
feature. This includes any garage door opener model
manufactured before April 1, 1982. If you have a newer
garage door opener with rolling codes, please be
sure to follow Steps 6 through 8 to complete the
programming of your HomeLink
® Transmitter.
Read the instructions completely before attempting
to program the HomeLink
® Transmitter. Because
of the steps involved, it may be helpful to have
another person available to assist you in programming
the transmitter.
Keep the original transmitter for use in other vehicles as
well as for future HomeLink
® programming. It is also
recommended that upon the sale of the vehicle,
the programmed HomeLink
® buttons should be erased
for security purposes. Refer to “Erasing HomeLink ®
Buttons” or, for assistance, contact HomeLink ® on the
Internet at: www.homelink.com or by calling
1-800-355-3515.
Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage
door or gate operator you are programming. When
programming a garage door, it is advised to park outside
of the garage.
It is recommended that a new battery be installed in
your hand-held transmitter for quicker and more
accurate transmission of the radio frequency.
Programming HomeLink ®
Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off while
programming the transmitter. Follow these steps to
program up to three channels:
1. Press and hold down the two outside buttons,
releasing only when the indicator light begins to
flash, after 20 seconds. Do not hold down the
buttons for longer than 30 seconds and do not
repeat this step to program a second and/or third
transmitter to the remaining two HomeLink
® buttons.
2. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter about
1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink ®
buttons while keeping the indicator light in view.
