This is from a 2001 owner's manual about programming the buttons on the Homelink Visor:
Programming
1. Prepare for programming the HomeLinkt Universal Transceiver by erasing the three factory default codes by holding down the two outside buttons until the red light begins to flash after 20 seconds. Release both buttons.
2. Hold the end of your hand-held transmitter 5–14 cm (2–5 inches) away from the HomeLinkt Universal Transceiver surface (located on your visor) while keeping the red light in view.
3. Using both hands simultaneously press and hold the hand-held transmitter button and the desired HomeLinkt button. Do not release the buttons until step 4 has been completed. Some entry gates and garage door openers may require you to replace step 3 with the procedure in the “Canadian Programing” section.
4. The red light will flash slowly and then rapidly. Release both buttons when the red light flashes rapidly.
5. Follow steps 2 through 4 to program the remaining two buttons. If you do not successfully program the HomeLinkt Universal Transceiver after repeated attempts, refer to Rolling code programing which follows, or call toll-free customer assistance: 1–800–355–3515 or on the Internet at HomeLink.jci.com.
Rolling code programming
Rolling code garage door openers (or other rolling code devices) which are “code protected” and manufactured after 1996, may be determined by the following:
- Reference the device owner’s manual for verification
- The hand-held transmitter appears to program the HomeLinkt Universal Transceiver but does not activate the device.
- Press and hold the trained HomeLinkt button. The device has the rolling code feature if the indicator light flashes rapidly and then turns solid after two seconds.
After completing the “Programming” functions, follow these steps to train a garage door opener with the rolling code feature:
1. Locate the training button on the garage door motor head unit. Refer to the garage door opener manual or call 1–800–355–3515 or on the Internet at HomeLink.jci.com. if there is difficulty locating the training button.
2. Press the training button on the garage door motor head unit (which will activate the “training” light).
3. Press and release the programmed HomeLinkt button. Press and release the HomeLinkt button a second time to complete the training process. (Some garage door openers may require this procedure to be done a third time
to complete the training).
The 2nd or 3rd press from step 3 will activate the door. The HomeLinkt Universal Transceiver has now been trained to the receiver. The remaining two buttons may now be programmed if this has not previously been done.
