Gate Operator and Canadian
Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter
signals to “time out” or quit after several seconds of
transmission. This may not be long enough for
HomeLink
® to pick up the signal during programming.
Similarly, some U.S. gate operators are manufactured
to “time out” in the same manner.
If you live in Canada, or you are having difficulty
programming a gate operator by using the “Programming
HomeLink
® ” procedures (regardless of where you live),
replace Step 3 under “Programming HomeLink ® ” with
the following:
Continue to press and hold the HomeLink ® button while
you press and release every two seconds (cycle) your
hand-held transmitter until the frequency signal has been
successfully accepted by HomeLink
® . The indicator light
will flash slowly at first and then rapidly. Proceed with
Step 4 under “Programming HomeLink
® ” to complete.
Using HomeLink ®
Press and hold the appropriate HomeLink ® button for
at least half of a second. The indicator light will come
on while the signal is being transmitted.
Erasing HomeLink ® Buttons
To erase programming from the three buttons do the
following:
1. Press and hold down the two outside buttons until
the indicator light begins to flash, after 20 seconds.
2. Release both buttons. Do not hold for longer than
30 seconds.
HomeLink ® is now in the train (learning) mode and
can be programmed at any time beginning with Step 2
under “Programming HomeLink
® .”
Individual buttons can not be erased, but they can
be reprogrammed. See “Reprogramming a Single
HomeLink
® Button” next.
