OTHER CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT 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. 3) 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 HomeLink®" 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 transmitter of the device may also be used at any time. In the event that there are still programming difficulties or questions, contact HomeLink® at www.homelink.com or 1-800-355-3515. 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 flash after 20 seconds. Without releasing the HomeLink® button, proceed with "Programming HomeLink®" - step 2). For questions or comments, contact HomeLink® at www.homelink.com or 1800-355-3515. Reprogramming a Single HomeLink® Button 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 until the indicator light begins to flash-after 20 seconds. Release both buttons. Do not hold for longer that 30 seconds. HomeLink® is now in the train (or learning) mode and can be programmed at any time beginning with "Programming HomeLink®" - step 2). 5-82 79K21-03E
