Gate operator/Canadian programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require trans-
mitter signals to "time-out" (or quit) after
several seconds of transmission which may
not be long enough for the integrated signal
transmitter to pick up the signal during pro-
gramming. 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 if you are having dif-
ficulties programming a gate operator
(regardless of where you live) by using the
programming procedures, replace step 4 with
the following:
X
Step 4: Press and hold the signal transmit-
ter button (2, or 4). Do not release

mitter button (2, or 4), "cycle" your

lows: Press and hold button
onds, then release it for 2 seconds, and

Repeat this sequence on the hand-held
remote control until the frequency signal
has been learned.
Upon successful training, indicator lamp
will flash slowly and then rapidly after

Proceed with programming step 5 and
step 6 to complete.
i Upon completion of programming the
integrated remote control, make sure you
retain the hand-held remote control that
came with the garage door opener, gate
operator or other device. You may need it
for use in other vehicles, for future pro-
gramming of an integrated remote control,
or simply for continued use as a hand-held
remote control to operate the respective
device in other situations.
