Note:
Some devices may require you to replace this Programming Step 3 with procedures
noted in the “Gate Operator / Canadian Programming” section. If the HomeLink indicator
light does not change to rapidly flashing green or continuously lit green after performing
these steps, contact HomeLink at
www.homelink.com
.
4. Firmly press, and release the programmed HomeLink button up to three separate times to
activate the device. If the device activates, programming is complete. If the device does not
activate, continue with “Programming” steps 5-7.
5. At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in the garage, locate the “Learn” or
“Smart” Button. This can usually be found directly on the motor-head unit (see the Garage
Door Opener manual to identify the “Learn Button”).
Note:
A ladder and/or second person may simplify the following steps.
6. Firmly press and release the “Learn” or “Smart” button. (The name and color of the button
may vary by manufacturer.)
There are typically 30 seconds to initiate step 7.
7. Return to the vehicle and firmly press, and release the programmed HomeLink button up to
three separate times to activate the device. If the device activates, programming is
complete.
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 or garage door
opener by using the “Programming” procedures, replace “Programming HomeLink” step 2 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.
