! Gate Operator / Canadian Programming
S03AP070410
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter remote 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 . The indicator LED on the hand-held remote will go off when the device times out , indicating that it has finished transmitting .
If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties programming a gate operator or garage door opener by using the programming procedures , replace “ Programming a New HomeLink Button ” step 3 with the following :
While the HomeLink indicator light is flashing orange , press and release (“ cycle ”) your device ’ s hand-held remote every two seconds until the HomeLink indicator light changes from orange to green . You may now release the hand-held remote button .
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 .
Proceed with “ Programming a New HomeLink Button ” step 4 to complete .
! Using HomeLink
S03AP070411
To operate , simply press and release the programmed HomeLink button . Activation will now occur for the trained device ( i . e . garage door opener , gate operator , security system , entry door lock , home / office lighting , etc .). For convenience , the handheld remote of the device may also be used at any time .
! Erasing HomeLink Buttons
S03AP070412
To erase programming from the three buttons ( individual buttons cannot be erased but can be “ reprogrammed ” as outlined below ), follow the step noted :
Press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons for at least 10 seconds . The LED indicator will change from continuously lit to rapidly flashing . Release both buttons . Do not hold for longer than 20 seconds . HomeLink is now ready to be programmed at any time beginning with “ Programming a New HomeLink Button ” - step 1 .
! Reprogramming a Single HomeLink Button
S03AP070406
To program a previously trained button , follow these steps :
1 . Press and hold the desired HomeLink button . DO NOT release the button .
2 . The indicator light will begin to slowly flash orange after 20 seconds . The HomeLink button can be released at this point . Proceed with “ Programming a New HomeLink Button ” - step 3 .
3 . If you do not complete the programming of a new device to the button , it will revert to the previously stored programming .
! Garage Door Two-Way Communication
S03AP070413
HomeLink has the capability of communicating with your garage door opener . HomeLink can receive and display “ closing ” or “ opening ” status messages from compatible garage door opener systems . At any time , HomeLink can also recall and display the last recorded status communicated by the garage door opener to indicate your garage door being “ closed ” or “ opened ”.
HomeLink has the capability of receiving this communication from the garage door opener at a range up to 820 feet ( 250 m ).
