PROGRAMMING HomeLink®FOR
CANADIAN CUSTOMERS AND GATE
OPENERS
Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter signals to “time-out”(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 de-
signed to “time-out” in the same manner.
If you live in Canada or you are having
difficulties programming a gate operator or
garage door opener by using the “Pro-
gramming HomeLink
®” procedures, re-
place “Programming HomeLink®”Step 2
with the following:
NOTE:
When programming a garage door opener,
etc., unplug the device during the “cy-
cling” process to prevent possible damage
to the garage door opener components.
Step 2: Using both hands, simultaneously
press and hold the desired HomeLink
®
button and the hand-held transmitter

button. During programming, your hand-
held transmitter may automatically stop
transmitting. Continue to press and hold
the desired HomeLink
®button while you
press and re-press (“cycle”) your hand-
held transmitter every two seconds until
the frequency signal has been learned. The
HomeLink
®indicator light will flash slowly
and then rapidly after several seconds
upon successful programming. DO NOT
release until the HomeLink
®indicator light
flashes slowly and then rapidly. When the
indicator light flashes rapidly, both buttons
may be released. The rapid flashing
indicates successful programming.
Proceed with “Programming HomeLink
®”
step 3 to complete.
Remember to plug the device back in when
programming is completed.
OPERATING THE HomeLink®UNI-
VERSAL TRANSCEIVER
The HomeLink®Universal Transceiver, after
it is programmed, can be used to activate
the programmed device. To operate, simply
press and release the appropriate pro-
grammed HomeLink
®Universal Transceiver
button. The amber indicator light will
illuminate while the signal is being trans- mitted.
For convenience, the hand-held transmitter
of the device may also be used at any time.
PROGRAMMING TROUBLESHOOT-
ING
If the HomeLink®does not quickly learn
the hand-held transmitter information:
. replace the hand-held transmitter bat-
teries with new batteries.
. position the hand-held transmitter with
its battery area facing away from the
HomeLink
®surface.
. press and hold both the HomeLink®
and hand-held transmitter buttons
without interruption.
. position the hand-held transmitter 1-3
in (26-76 mm) away from the
HomeLink
®surface. Hold the transmit-
ter in that position for up to 15
seconds. If HomeLink
®is not pro-
grammed within that time, try holding
the transmitter in another position -
keeping the indicator light in view at all
times.
If you have any questions or are having
difficulty programming your HomeLink
®
buttons, refer to the HomeLink®web site
at: www.homelink.com or 1-800-355-3515.

WARNING
.Radio waves could adversely affect
electric medical equipment. Those who
use a pacemaker should contact the
electric medical equipment manufacturer
for the possible influences before use.
. The Intelligent Key transmits radio
waves when the buttons are pushed.
The FAA advises that the radio waves
may affect aircraft navigation and com-
munication systems. Do not operate the
Intelligent Key while on an airplane.
Make sure the buttons are not operated
unintentionally when the unit is stored
during a flight.
The Intelligent Key system can operate all
the door locks using the remote controller
function or pushing the request switch on
the vehicle without taking the key out from
a pocket or purse. The operating environ-
ment and/or conditions may affect the
Intelligent Key system operation.
Be sure to read the following before using
the Intelligent Key system.
CAUTION
.Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with
you when operating the vehicle.
. Never leave the Intelligent Key in the
vehicle when you leave the vehicle.
The Intelligent Key is always communicat-
ing with the vehicle as it receives radio
waves. The Intelligent Key system trans-
mits weak radio waves. Environmental
conditions may interfere with the operation
of the Intelligent Key system under the
following operating conditions.
.When operating near a location where
strong radio waves are transmitted,
such as a TV tower, power station and
broadcasting station.
. When in possession of wireless equip-
ment, such as a cellular telephone,
transceiver, and CB radio.
. When the Intelligent Key is in contact
with or covered by metallic materials.
. When any type of radio wave remote
control is used nearby.
. When the Intelligent Key is placed near
