CANADIAN Programming/Gate 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 the HomeLink® transceiver to pick up the signal during programming. Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate openers are designed to "time-out" in the same manner.
If located in Canada or are having difficulties programming a gate opener by using the "Programming" procedures (regardless of location), replace "Programming HomeLink® Transceiver Codes" step 3 with the following:
NOTE:
When programming a garage door opener or gate opener, it is advised to unplug the device or move the vehicle out of range during the "cycling" process to prevent possible overheating.
- 3. Continue to press and hold the HomeLink® transceiver button while pressing and releasing every two seconds ("cycle") the hand-held transmitter until the frequency signal has successfully been accepted. The indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly. Proceed with "Programming" step 4 to complete.
