Gate Operator/Canadian Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter sig-
nals to 9time-out9 (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 9time-out9 in the same manner.
If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties
programming a gate operator by using the 9Program-
ming HomeLink9 procedures (regardless of where you
live), replace step two with the following:
NOTE: If programming a garage door opener or gate
operator, it is advised to unplug the device during the
9cycling9 process to prevent possible overheating.
Press and hold the HomeLink button while you press
and release - every two seconds ((cycle() your hand-held
transmitter button until the radio signal has success-
fully been accepted by HomeLink. (The message
TRAINED will appear on the HomeLink display.)
Proceed with the remaining steps under 9Programming
HomeLink9 to complete.
Using HomeLink
To operate, simply 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.). For convenience, the hand-held transmitter of the
device may also be used at any time. In the event that
there are still programming difficulties or questions,
contact HomeLink at: www.homelink.com or 1-800-355-
3515.
