This procedure worked for my Craftsman openers with the rolling codes. Took me a couple of tries...... but less than one beer.
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Erase the factory test codes by pressing the two outside buttons. Release the buttons when the light in the Universal Transceiver begins to flash (about 20 seconds).
NOTE: Do not repeat Step 2 to program additional hand held transmitters.
3. Choose one of the three Universal Transceiver buttons to program. Place the hand held controller one to three inches from the Universal Transceiver while keeping its indicator light in view.
4. Using both hands, press the hand held transmitter button and the desired Universal Transceiver button. Do not release the buttons until step 5 has been completed.
5. The indicator light in the Universal Transceiver will begin to flash, first slowly and then rapidly. The rapid
flashing indicates successful programming. If after 90 seconds the indicator light does not flash rapidly or goes out, return to step 1 and repeat the procedure. To train the other buttons, repeat steps 3 and 4. Be sure to keep your hand held transmitters in case you need to retrain the Universal Transceiver.
NOTE: If you do not successfully program the Universal Transceiver to learn the signal of your hand held
transmitter, refer to the Rolling Code Paragraph, or call toll free for customer assistance at 1–800–355–3515, or on the internet at

“Rolling Code” Programming
NOTE: If your hand held transmitter appears to program the Universal Transceiver, but your garage door or
other device does not operate, and your device was manufactured after 1996, your garage door opener or
other device may have a “Rolling Code” system.
On garage door openers with the “Rolling Code” feature, the transmitter code changes after each use to prevent the copying of your code.
To check if your device is protected by a “Rolling Code” system:
• Check the owner’s manual for the device for mention of “Rolling Codes”.
• Press and hold the programmed button on the Universal Transceiver. If the Universal Transceiver indicator
light flashes rapidly and then stays on after 2 seconds, the device has the “Rolling Code” feature.
To train a garage door opener (or other rolling code equipped devices) with the rolling code feature, follow
these instructions after completing the Programming portion of this text:
NOTE: The assistance of a second person may make the following programming procedure quicker and easier.
1. Locate the training button on the garage door motor head unit. The exact location and color of the button may vary by garage door opener manufacturer. If you have difficulty in locating the training button, check your garage door opener manual, or call 1-800-355-3515 or, on the Internet, at
www.homelink.com.
2. Press and hold the training button on the garage door opener head unit. This will activate the “training” light.
NOTE: After completing step 2, you have 30 seconds to start step 3.
3. Return to the Universal Transceiver in the vehicle and firmly press and release the garage door button. Press and release the button a second time to complete the training process. Some garage door openers may require you to do this procedure a third time to complete the training.
Your garage door opener should now recognize your Universal Transceiver. The remaining two buttons may
now be programmed if this has not previously been done. Refer to the Programming instructions. You may
use either your Universal Transceiver or your original hand-held transmitter to open you garage door.
