Canadian/Gate Operator Programming
The programming of transmitters in Canada/
United States require the transmitter signals
to "time-out" after several seconds of trans-
mission.
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 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.
It may be helpful to unplug the device during
the cycling process to prevent possible over-
heating of the garage door or gate motor.
1. Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position.
2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to
3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the Home-
Link® button you wish to program while
keeping the HomeLink® indicator light in
view.
3. Continue to press and hold the Home-
Link® button, while you press and release
("cycle") your hand-held transmitter every
two
seconds
until
successfully
accepted
signal. The indicator light will flash slowly
and then rapidly when fully trained.

4. Watch for the HomeLink® indicator to
change flash rates. When it changes, it is
programmed. It may take up to 30 seconds
or longer in rare cases. The garage door may
open and close while you are programming.
5. Press and hold the programmed Home-
Link® button and observe the indicator
light.
NOTE:
If the indicator light stays on constantly,
programming is complete and the garage
door/device should activate when the
HomeLink® button is pressed.
To program the two remaining HomeLink®
buttons, repeat each step for each
remaining button. DO NOT erase the chan-
nels.
If you unplugged the garage door opener/
device for programming, plug it back in at this
time.
Reprogramming A Single HomeLink® Button
(Canadian/Gate Operator)
To reprogram a channel that has been previ-
ously trained, follow these steps:

the
frequency
1. Place the ignition to the ON/RUN position.
2. Press and hold the desired HomeLink®
button until the indicator light begins to
flash after 20 seconds. Do not release the
button.
3. Without releasing the button, proceed with
"Canadian/Gate Operator Programming"
step 2 and follow all remaining steps.
Using HomeLink®
To operate, push and release the programmed
HomeLink® button. Activation will now occur
for the programmed device (i.e. garage door
opener, gate operator, security system, entry
door lock, home/office lighting, etc.). The
hand-held transmitter of the device may also
be used at any time.
Security
It is advised to erase all channels before you
sell or turn in your vehicle.
To do this, push and hold the two outside
buttons for 20 seconds until the orange indi-
cator flashes. Note that all channels will be
erased. Individual channels cannot be erased.
The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver is
disabled when the Vehicle Security Alarm is
active.
NOTE:
The universal garage door opener only oper-
ates when the engine is running for security
reasons associated with removable tops and
doors.
