8. Return to the vehicle and firmly

press,

hold for two seconds and release

the

programmed HomeLink button. Repeat
the

“

brand of the garage door opener (or
other rolling code equipped device),
repeat this sequence a third time to
complete the programming process.

HomeLink should now activate your
rolling code equipped device.

q

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
difficulties 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 flash
slowly and then rapidly.)
Proceed with

“

Programming

”

step 4 to

complete.

q

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.
