 Gate  operator/Canadian 

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 
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.

  If you live in Canada or you are having 
diffi culties programming a gate operator 
by using the “Programming” procedures 
(regardless of where you live),

replace 

“Programming HomeLink” step 3

   with 

the following: 

   NOTE

  If programming a garage door opener or 
gate operator, it is advised to unplug the 
device during the “cycling” process to 
prevent possible overheating.

  Continue to press and hold the HomeLink 
button while you

press and release 

— every two seconds

  (“cycle”) your 

hand-held transmitter until the frequency 
signal has successfully been accepted by 
HomeLink. (The indicator light will fl ash 
slowly and then rapidly.)
  Proceed with “Programming” step 4 to 
complete.

 Operating the HomeLink System

    Press  the  programmed  HomeLink  button 
to operate a programmed device. The 
code will continue being transmitted for a 
maximum of 20 seconds.

 Reprogramming the HomeLink 

system

    To program a device to HomeLink using 
a HomeLink button previously trained, 
follow these steps:

   1.   Press and hold the desired HomeLink 

button.

DO NOT

  release the button.

   2.   The indicator light will begin to fl ash 

after 20 seconds. Without releasing 
the HomeLink button, proceed with 
“Programming” - step 1.

 Erasing Programmed HomeLink 

Buttons

    To erase the existing programming from 
all three operating channels, press and 
hold the two outside buttons (

,

) on 

the auto-dimming mirror until the 
HomeLink indicator light begins to fl ash 
after approximately 10 seconds.
  Verify that the programming has been 
erased when you resell the vehicle.
