Gate Operator & Canadian Programming
During programming, your
hand-held transmitter may
automatically stop transmitting —
not allowing enough time for
HomeLink to accept the signal
from the hand-held transmitter.
After completing steps 1 and 2
outlined in the “ Programming ”
section, replace step 3 with the following:
Note: If programming a garage door opener or gate operator, it is
advised to unplug the device during the “ cycling ” process to prevent
overheating.
• Continue to press and hold the HomeLink button (note step 3 in the
“ Programming ” section) while you press and release — every two
seconds ( “ cycle ” ) your hand-held transmitter until the frequency
signal has been accepted by the HomeLink . The red indicator light
will flash slowly and then rapidly after HomeLink accepts the radio
frequency signal.
• Proceed with step 4 in the “ Programming ” section.
Operating the HomeLink Wireless Control System
To operate, simply press and release
the appropriate HomeLink button.
Activation will now occur for the
trained product (garage door, gate
operator, security system, entry
door lock, or home or office lighting
etc.). For convenience, the
hand-held transmitter of the device
may also be used at any time. In the event that there are still
programming difficulties, contact HomeLink at www.homelink.com or
1 – 800 – 355 – 3515.

Cell phone use
The use of Mobile Communications Equipment has become increasingly
important in the conduct of business and personal affairs. However,
drivers must not compromise their own or others ’ safety when using
such equipment. Mobile Communications can enhance personal safety
and security when appropriately used, particularly in emergency
situations. Safety must be paramount when using mobile communications
equipment to avoid negating these benefits.
Mobile Communication Equipment includes, but is not limited to cellular
phones, pagers, portable email devices, in vehicle communications
systems, telematics devices and portable two-way radios.

Obstacle detection
The power liftgate system is equipped with an obstacle detection feature.
If the power liftgate is closing, the system is designed to reverse to full
open when it encounters a solid obstacle. Once the obstacle is removed,
the liftgate can be closed under power.
If the power liftgate is opening, the system is designed to stop when it
encounters a solid obstacle. If the liftgate stops below the half open
position, you will need to close and fully latch the liftgate manually.
Normal operation can then be resumed.
