    Switch

During nighttime driving, the auto-dimming feature senses distracting glare from vehicle headlights behind you and auto- matically dims to eliminate the glare and preserve your vision.

Press the “ ” switch to turn the auto- dimming feature on/off. The auto-dimming feature is enabled when the switch’s green LED indicator is on. The auto-dimming feature will default to on with each ignition cycle.

    To turn the compass feature on/off, press and hold the “ ” switch for more than 3 seconds or until the display turns on/off. The compass feature will default to on with each ignition cycle.
    If the display reads “C”, slowly drive the vehicle in circles until compass is cali- brated.

Compass calibration zones

    To adjust for compass zone variance:
    Find your current location and zone number on the map.
    Press and hold the “ ” switch for more than 6 seconds or until a zone number appears in the display.
    Once the zone number appears in the display, toggle the “ ” switch

again until your current location zone number appears. After you stop press- ing the switch, your new zone number will be saved. Within a few seconds, the display will show a compass direc- tion.

    If the vehicle’s magnetics have chan- ged or if the compass appears inaccurate, recalibrate the compass. Press and hold the “” switch for more than 9 seconds or until a “C” appears in the display. Once a “C” appears in the display, slowly drive the vehicle in circles until compass is cali- brated.

The HomeLink® Wireless Control System provides a convenient way to replace up to three hand-held radio-frequency remotes used to activate devices such as gate operators, garage door openers, entry door locks, security systems, even home lighting. The below steps are generic programming instructions; for Genie and Sommer garage door openers please go directly to the HomeLink website. Addi- tional information and programming vi- deos can be found at www.HomeLink.com and www.youtube.com/HomeLinkGentex.

    Press and release the HomeLink but- ton that you would like to program. The HomeLink indicator light will flash orange slowly (if not, refer to “Erasing HomeLink Buttons”  3-83).

    Indicator Light
    HomeLink Buttons

1) Garage door opener remote

    Position the hand-held remote (garage door opener remote) 1 to 3 inches (2 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink button that you would like to program.

    While the HomeLink indicator light is flashing orange, press and hold the hand- held remote button. Continue pressing the hand-held remote button until the HomeLink indicator light changes from orange to green. You may now release the hand-held remote button.
    Indicator Light
    Press the HomeLink button that you would like to program and observe the indicator light.
    If the indicator light remains constant green, your device should operate when the HomeLink button is pressed. At this point, if your device operates, programming is complete.
    If the indicator light rapidly flashes green, firmly press, hold for two sec- onds and release the HomeLink button up to three times to complete the programming process. At this point if your device operates, programming is complete. If the device does not operate, continue with the next step of the programming instructions.
    “Learn” button
    At the garage door opener motor, (security gate motor, etc.) locate the “Learn”, “Smart”, or “Program” button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit (see the device’s manual to identify this button). The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer.
    Firmly press and release the “Learn”, “Smart”, or “Program” button. You now have 30 seconds in which to complete step 7.

    Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for two seconds and release the HomeLink button up to three times. At this point programming is complete and your device should operate when the HomeLink button is pressed and released.

    Status Indicators
    If status indicator arrows appear next to the indicator light, please refer to “Garage Door Two-Way Communication”

 3-83.

In the event that there are still program- ming difficulties or questions, additional HomeLink information and programming videos can be found at www.HomeLink.com and www.youtube.com/HomeLinkGentex. For Genie and Sommer garage door openers please go directly to the HomeLink web- site.

Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter remote 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 U.S. gate operators are de- signed to “time-out” in the same manner. The indicator LED on the hand-held remote will go off when the device times out, indicating that it has finished transmit- ting.

If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties programming a gate operator or garage door opener by using the program- ming procedures, replace “Programming a New HomeLink Button” step 3 with the following:

While the HomeLink indicator light is flashing orange, press and release (“cy- cle”) your device’s hand-held remote every two seconds until the HomeLink indicator light changes from orange to green. You may now release the hand-held remote button.

Proceed with “Programming a New HomeLink Button” step 4 to complete.

To operate, simply press and release the programmed HomeLink button. Activation will now occur for the trained device (i.e. garage door opener, gate operator, secur- ity system, entry door lock, home/office lighting, etc.). For convenience, the hand- held remote of the device may also be used at any time.

To erase programming from the three buttons (individual buttons cannot be erased but can be “reprogrammed” as outlined below), follow the step noted:

Press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons for at least 10 seconds. The LED indicator will change from continuously lit to rapidly flashing. Release both buttons. Do not hold for longer than 20 seconds. HomeLink is now ready to be programmed at any time beginning with “Programming a New HomeLink Button” - step 1.

To program a previously trained button, follow these steps:

    Press and hold the desired HomeLink button. DO NOT release the button.
    The indicator light will begin to slowly flash orange after 20 seconds. The HomeLink button can be released at this point. Proceed with “Programming a New HomeLink Button” - step 3.
    If you do not complete the program- ming of a new device to the button, it will revert to the previously stored program- ming.

HomeLink has the capability of commu- nicating with your garage door opener. HomeLink can receive and display “clos- ing” or “opening” status messages from compatible garage door opener systems. At any time, HomeLink can also recall and display the last recorded status commu- nicated by the garage door opener to indicate your garage door being “closed” or “opened”.

HomeLink has the capability of receiving this communication from the garage door opener at a range up to 820 feet (250 m).

Range may be reduced by obstacles such as houses or trees. You may have to slow your vehicle speed to successfully receive the garage door opener communication.

    Status Indicators

Within five seconds after programming a new HomeLink button, both of HomeLink’s garage door status indicators will flash rapidly green indicating that the garage door two-way communication has been enabled. If your garage door status in- dicators flashed, two-way communication programming is complete.

If the garage door status indicators do not flash, additional HomeLink information and programming videos can be found

online at www.HomeLink.com and www.youtube.com/HomeLinkGentex.

1) Status Indicators

Recall and display (at any time) the last recorded garage door status message communicated to HomeLink by simulta- neously pressing HomeLink buttons 1 and 2 for two seconds. HomeLink will display the last recorded status for three seconds.

    Garage Door Opener CLOSING (Blinking Orange)
    Garage Door Opener CLOSED (Solid Green)
    Garage Door Opener OPENING (Blink- ing Orange)
    Garage Door Opener OPENED (Solid Green)

If two-way communication programming is successful, HomeLink will display the status of your garage door opener with arrow indicators.

In the event that there are still program- ming difficulties or questions, additional HomeLink information and programming videos can be found at www.HomeLink.com, www.youtube.com/HomeLinkGentex, or by calling the toll-free HomeLink-hotline at 1-800-355-3515.
