! Gate Operator / Canadian Programming
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 handheld 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
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
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
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
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).
