Gate Operator/Canadian Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter sig-
nals to “time-out” (or quit) after several seconds of
transmission – which may not be long enough for
HomeLink
௡ 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.
It may be helpful to unplug the device during the cycling
process to prevent possible overheating of the garage
door or gate motor.
If you are having difficulties programming a garage door
opener or a gate operator, replace “Programming
HomeLink,” Step 3, with the following:
3. Continue to press and hold the HomeLink
௡ button,
while you press and release (“cycle”), your handheld
transmitter every two seconds until HomeLink
௡ has
successfully accepted the frequency signal. The indica-
tor(s) will change from a slow flash to a rapid flash
when trained.
If you unplugged the device for training, plug it back in
at this time.
Then proceed with Step 4 under, “Programming
HomeLink
௡,” earlier in this section.
Using HomeLink
ா
To operate, press and release the programmed HomeLink ௡
button. Activation will now occur for the trained device
(i.e., garage door opener, gate operator, security system,
entry door lock, home/office lighting, etc.,). The handheld
transmitter of the device may also be used at any time.
Reprogramming A Single HomeLink ா Button
To reprogram a channel that has been previously trained,
follow these steps:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position.
2. Press and hold the desired HomeLink ௡ button for
20 seconds until the indicator(s) starts to flash. Do not
release the button.
