programmed HomeLink®button for two seconds,
then release. Repeat the press/hold/release
sequence a second time, and depending on the
brand of the garage door opener (or other rolling
code device), repeat this sequence a third time

all previous programming.
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 ash slowly at rst 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.
