Gate operator and Canadian programming

Canadian Radio Frequency (RF) laws require remote device systems to have a remote control signal that only operates for a short period of time. The signal times-out before programming is complete. The operator is required to cycle the remote control button every 2 seconds during programming. Some U.S. gate operators also have this type of signal.

If in Canada, or experiencing difficulties while programming the remote device, carry out the following: During programming of the remote device, replace programming step 3 with the following:

• Press and hold the HomeLink button.

  Simultaneously, press and release the remote control button every 2 seconds, until the LED indicator rapidly flashes green or continuously illuminates green. Release the HomeLink and remote control buttons.

• Continue the programming process from step 4.

If the HomeLink LED indicator does not rapidly flash green or continuously illuminates green after performing these steps, contact HomeLink at: www.HomeLink.com.
