Programming the Garage DoorOpener to your Gate Opener Motor
Gate Operator / CanadianProgramming
Canadian radio-frequency laws requiretransmitter signals to time-out (or quit)after several seconds of transmission –which may not be long enough forHomeLink to pick up the signal duringprogramming. Similar to this Canadian law,some U.S. gate operators are designed totime-out in the same manner.
Note:If programming a garage door openeror gate operator, it is advised that youunplug the device during the cycling processto prevent possible overheating.
1.Press and release your handheldtransmitter,every two seconds, untilthe HomeLink indicator flashes rapidlyor is continuously on.
2.Release the handheld transmitterbutton.
3.Press and hold the HomeLink functionbutton you want to program for twoseconds, then release. You may needto do this twice to activate the door.
Note:If the indicator stays on, theprogramming is complete.
Note:If the HomeLink indicator flashesrapidly, repeat Step 3.
4.To program additional buttons, repeatSteps 1–4.
