Radio Signals for Some Gate Operators
For questions or programming help, see
www.homelink.com/gm or call
1-800-355-3515.
Some radio–frequency laws and gate
operators 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.
If the programming did not work, replace

Remote System” with the following:
Press and hold the Universal Remote system
button while pressing and releasing the
hand-held transmitter button every

successfully accepted by the Universal
Remote system. The Universal Remote
system indicator light will flash slowly at

continuous solid-light. Proceed with Step 3
under “Programming the Universal Remote
System” to complete.
