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 flash slowly at first 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.
