2020 RAM 1500 Owners Manual - GARAGE DOOR OPENER — IF EQUIPPED

GARAGE DOOR OPENER — IF EQUIPPED

HomeLink® replaces up to three hand-held transmitters that operate devices such as garage door openers, motorized gates, lighting or home security systems. The HomeLink® unit is powered by your vehicles 12 Volt battery.

The HomeLink® buttons that are located on the sun visor designate the three different HomeLink® channels.

HomeLink® Buttons

NOTE:

HomeLink® is disabled when the Vehicle Security Alarm is active.

NOTE:

Only use this transceiver with a garage door opener that has a “stop and reverse” feature as required by federal safety standards. This includes most garage door opener models manufactured after 1982. Do not use a garage door opener

without these safety features. Call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 or, on the Internet at HomeLink.com for safety information or assistance.

Be sure that your vehicle is parked outside of the garage before you begin programming.

For more efficient programming and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal it is recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the device that is being programmed to the HomeLink® system.

To erase the channels, place the ignition in the ON/RUN position, and push and hold the two outside HomeLink® buttons (I and III) for up to 20 seconds or until the orange indicator flashes.

NOTE:

Erasing all channels should only be performed when programming HomeLink® for the first time. Do not erase channels when programming additional buttons.

If you have any problems, or require assistance, please call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 or, on the Internet at Home- Link.com for information or assistance.

For programming garage door openers that were manufac- tured after 1995. These garage door openers can be identified by the “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button located where the hanging antenna is attached to the garage door opener.

NOTE:

It is NOT the button that is normally used to open and close the door. The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer.

Training The Garage Door Opener

— Door Opener

— Training Button

Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position.

Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink® button you wish to program while keeping the HomeLink® indicator light in view.

2

Push and hold the HomeLink® button you want to program while you push and hold the hand-held trans- mitter button.

Continue to hold both buttons and observe the indicator light. The HomeLink® indicator will flash slowly and then rapidly after HomeLink® has received the frequency signal from the hand-held transmitter. Release both buttons after the indicator light changes from slow to rapid.

At the garage door opener motor (in the garage), locate the “LEARN” or “TRAINING” button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the garage door opener/device motor. Firmly push and release the “LEARN” or “TRAINING” button. On some garage door openers/devices there may be a light that blinks when the garage door opener/device is in the LEARN/TRAIN mode.

NOTE:

You have 30 seconds in which to initiate the next step after the LEARN button has been pushed.

Return to the vehicle and push the programmed Home- Link® button twice (holding the button for two seconds each time). If the garage door opener/device activates, programming is complete.

NOTE:

If the garage door opener/device does not activate, push the button a third time (for two seconds) to complete the training.

To program the remaining two HomeLink® buttons, re- peat each step for each remaining button. DO NOT erase the channels.

Reprogramming A Single HomeLink Button (Rolling Code)

To reprogram a channel that has been previously trained, follow these steps:

Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position.

Push and hold the desired HomeLink® button until the indicator light begins to flash after 20 seconds. Do not release the button.

Without releasing the button proceed with “Program- ming A Rolling Code” step 2 and follow all remaining steps."

For programming Garage Door Openers manufactured before 1995.

Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position.

Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink® button you wish to program while keeping the HomeLink® indicator light in view.

Press and hold the HomeLink® button you want to program while you press and hold the hand-held trans- mitter button.

Continue to hold both buttons and observe the indicator light. The HomeLink® indicator will flash slowly and then rapidly after HomeLink® has received the frequency signal from the hand-held transmitter. Release both buttons after the indicator light changes from slow to rapid.

Press and hold the programmed HomeLink® button and observe the indicator light.

If the indicator light stays on constantly, programming is complete and the garage door/device should acti- vate when the HomeLink® button is pressed.

To program the two remaining HomeLink® buttons, repeat each step for each remaining button. DO NOT erase the channels.

Reprogramming A Single HomeLink® Button (Non-Rolling Code)

To reprogram a channel that has been previously trained, follow these steps:

Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position.

Press and hold the desired HomeLink® button until the indicator light begins to flash after 20 seconds. Do not release the button.

Without releasing the button, proceed with “Program- ming A Non-Rolling Code” step 2 and follow all remaining steps.

For programming transmitters in Canada/United States that require the transmitter signals to “time-out” after several

seconds of transmission. 2

Canadian Radio Frequency (RF) laws require transmitter signals to time-out (or quit) after several seconds of transmis- sion – which may not be long enough for HomeLink® to pick up the signal during programming. Similar to this Canadian law, some US gate operators are designed to time-out in the same manner.

It may be helpful to unplug the device during the cycling process to prevent possible overheating of the garage door or gate motor.

Place the ignition inthe ON/RUN position.

Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink® button you wish to program while keeping the HomeLink® indicator light in view.

Continue to press and hold the HomeLink® button, while you press and release (“cycle”) your hand-held trans- mitter every two seconds until HomeLink® has success- fully accepted the frequency signal. The indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly when fully trained.

Watch for the HomeLink® indicator to change flash rates. When it changes, it is programmed. It may take up to 30 seconds or longer in rare cases. The garage door may open and close while you are programming.

Press and hold the programmed HomeLink® button and observe the indicator light.

NOTE:

If the indicator light stays on constantly, programming is complete and the garage door/device should activate when the HomeLink® button is pressed.

To program the two remaining HomeLink® buttons, repeat each step for each remaining button. DO NOT erase the channels.

If you unplugged the garage door opener/device for programming, plug it back in at this time.

Reprogramming A Single HomeLink® Button (Canadian/ Gate Operator)

To reprogram a channel that has been previously trained, follow these steps:

Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position.

Press and hold the desired HomeLink® button until the indicator light begins to flash after 20 seconds. Do not release the button.

Without releasing the button, proceed with “Canadian/ Gate Operator Programming” step 2 and follow all remaining steps.

To operate, push and release the programmed HomeLink® button. Activation will now occur for the programmed device (i.e. garage door opener, gate operator, security system, entry door lock, home/office lighting, etc.) The hand-held transmitter of the device may also be used at any time.

It is advised to erase all channels before you sell or turn in your vehicle.

To do this, push and hold the two outside buttons for 20 seconds until the orange indicator flashes. Note that all channels will be erased. Individual channels cannot be erased.

The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver is disabled when the Vehicle Security Alarm is active.

If you are having trouble programming HomeLink®, here are some of the most common solutions:

Replace the battery in the Garage Door Opener hand-held transmitter.

Push the LEARN button on the Garage Door Opener to complete the training for a Rolling Code.

Did you unplug the device for programming and remember to plug it back in?
