▼Gate operator/Canadian
Programming
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 designed
to “time-out” in the same manner.
If you live in Canada or are having
difficulties programming a gate operator
by using the programming procedures
(regardless of where you live), replace
Step 3 of Programming the HomeLink
System 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 possible overheating.
While the indicator light is flashing in
amber, press the button on the hand-held
transmitter for 2 sec onds and release it
repeatedly until the indicator light changes
from amber to green.
Go back to Step 4 of Programming the
HomeLink System to complete the
procedure.
▼ Operating the HomeLink System
Press the programmed HomeLink button
to operate a programmed device.
▼Reprogramming the HomeLink
system
To program a device to HomeLink using a
HomeLink button previously trained,
follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink
button. DO NOT release the button.
2. After 20 seconds, the indicator light flashes in amber. After the indicator
light flashes, release the HomeLink
button.
3. Go back to Step 2 of Programming the HomeLink System to complete the
procedure.
NOTE
If the programming has not been
completed, the syst em returns to the
previous programming.

All of the programmed HomeLink
buttons are reset.
Individual buttons

▼Garage Door Two-Way
Communication
The garage door two-way communication
is a function that communicates with the
garage door opener and indicates whether
the garages door is open or closed using
the indicator lights in the rear view mirror.
It can indicate the status of the garage door
within a range up-to 250 m (820 ft).
NOTE
The communication range may shorten
depending on obstructions.
Programming two-way communication
Within five seconds after programming a
new HomeLink button, both of the garage
door status indicator lights will flash
rapidly in green indicating that the garage
door two-way communication has been
established. If the garage door status
indicator lights flash, the two-way
communication programming is complete.
If the garage door status indicator lights do
not flash, the two-way communication
programming is not completed. For
additional HomeLink information and
programming videos, refer to the
following Websites:
