^ To ensure maximum range of the HomeLink(R), install a new battery in the hand-held transmitter prior to programming.

^ The effective transmission range of the HomeLink is usually equal to or greater than the hand-held transmitter.

^ The battery side of the hand-held transmitter must be pointed away from the HomeLink(R) during the programming process.

^ Keep the LED (Indicator Light) on the HomeLink(R) in view while programming.
