Gate Operator and CanadianProgrammingCanadian radio-frequency laws require transmittersignals to “time out” or quit after several seconds oftransmission. This may not be long enough forHomeLink® 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 difficultyprogramming a gate operator by using the“Programming HomeLink® ” procedures (regardless ofwhere you live), replace Step 3 under “ProgrammingHomeLink® ” with the following:Continue to press and hold the HomeLink ® button whileyou press and release every two seconds (cycle) yourhand-held transmitter until the frequency signal has beensuccessfully accepted by HomeLink ® . The indicator lightwill flash slowly at first and then rapidly. Proceed withStep 4 under “Programming HomeLink ® ” to complete.Using HomeLink®Press and hold the appropriate HomeLink® button for atleast half of a second. The indicator light will comeon while the signal is being transmitted.Erasing HomeLink® ButtonsTo erase programming from the three buttons do thefollowing:1. Press and hold down the two outside buttons untilthe indicator light begins to flash, after 20 seconds.2. Release both buttons. Do not hold for longer than30 seconds.HomeLink® is now in the train (learning) mode and canbe programmed at any time beginning with Step 2 under“Programming HomeLink® .”Individual buttons can not be erased, but they can bereprogrammed. See “Reprogramming a SingleHomeLink® Button” next.2-50
