Programming
If you have questions or need help
programming the Universal 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 the Universal Remote
system 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 Remote System”
procedures, regardless of where
you live, replace Step 2 under
“Programming the Universal Remote
System” with the following:
Continue to press and hold
the Universal Remote system
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 Remote system.
The Universal Remote system
indicator light will flash slowly at
first and then rapidly. Proceed with
Step 3 under “Programming the
Universal Remote System” to
complete.
