Gate Operator and Canadian
Programming
If you have questions or need
help programming the Universal
Home Remote System, call
1-800-355-3515 or go to
www.homelink.com.
Canadian radio-frequency laws
require transmitter signals to time
out or quit after several seconds of
transmission. This may not be
long enough for Universal Home
Remote 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 or garage door opener
by using the“Programming the Universal Home Remote System”
procedures, regardless of where
you live, replace Step 3 under
“Programming the Universal Home
Remote System”
with the following:
Continue to press and hold the
Universal Home Remote button
while you press and release
every two seconds (cycle) the
hand-held transmitter button until
the frequency signal has been
successfully accepted by the
Universal Home Remote.
The Universal Home Remote
indicator light will flash slowly at
first and then rapidly. Proceed with
Step 4 under “Programming the
Universal Home Remote System” to
complete the training procedure.
Universal Remote System
Operation
Using Universal Remote
Press and hold the appropriate
Universal Remote button for at
least half of a second. The indicator
