to indicate that the process has been terminated. In
this case, repeat steps 4 through 9.
If the emergency flashers do not flash three times (after about 15 -
60 seconds), programming was not successful. In this case, repeat
steps 4 through 9.
Remote control units for garage door openers in Canada are set to
stop transmitt ing radio frequency signals after two seconds. This
time may not be sufficient for the Home link® system to learn the
radio frequency signal. Perform all other steps as described above. •
Applies to vehicles : with Homelink® un iversal remote control
