Gate operator/Canadian programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter signals to “time-out” (or quit)
after several seconds of transmission
which may not be long enough for the
integrated signal transmitter to pick up the
signal during programming. Similar to this
Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators
are designed to “time-out” in the same
manner.
If you live in Canada or if you are having
difficulties programming a gate operator
(regardless of where you live) by using the
programming procedures, replace step 4
with the following:
Step 4:
̈
Press and hold the signal transmitter
button (
2, 3 or 4). Do not release
this button until it has been success-
fully trained.
̈
While still holding down the signal
transmitter button (
2, 3 or 4),
“cycle” your hand-held remote control
button
6 as follows: Press and hold
button
6 for 2 seconds, then release
it for 2 seconds, and again press and
hold it for 2 seconds. Repeat this se-
quence on the hand-held remote con-
trol until the frequency signal has been
learned. Upon successful training, indi-
cator lamp
1 will flash slowly and then
rapidly after several seconds.
̈
Proceed with programming step 5 and
step 6 to complete.
Reprogramming a single signal trans-
mitter button
To program a device using a signal trans-
mitter button previously trained, follow
these steps:
̈
Switch on the ignition (
̈
Press and hold the desired signal
transmitter button (
2, 3 or 4).
Do not release the button.
̈
Indicator lamp
1 will begin to flash af-
ter 20 seconds. Without releasing the
signal transmitter button, proceed with
programming starting with step 3.
i
Upon completion of programming the inte-
grated remote control, make sure you retain the
hand-held remote control that came with the ga-
rage door opener, gate operator or other device.
You may need it for use in other vehicles, for fu-
ture programming of an integrated remote con-
trol, or simply for continued use as a hand-held
remote control to operate the respective device
in other situations.
