Status Indicators

11. If status indicator arrows appear next
to the indicator light, please refer to

“Garage Door Two-Way Communication”
FP245.

In the event that there are still program-
ming difficulties or questions, additional
HomeLink information and programming
videos can be found at
www.HomeLink.com/Subaru and
www.youtube.com/HomeLinkGentex. For
Genie and Sommer garage door openers,
please go directly to the HomeLink web-
site.

Gate Operator/Canadian Pro-
gramming

Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter remote signals to “time-out”
(or quit) after several seconds of transmis-
sion, 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 de-
signed 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 transmit-
ting.

If you live in Canada or you are having
difficulties programming a gate operator or
garage door opener by using the program-
ming procedures, replace “Programming a
New HomeLink Button” step 3 with the

cle”) 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.

Garage Door Two-Way Commu-
nication

HomeLink has the capability of commu-
nicating with your garage door opener.
HomeLink can receive and display “clos-
ing” or “opening” status messages from
compatible garage door opener systems.
At any time, HomeLink can also recall and
display the last recorded status commu-
nicated 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).
Range may be reduced by obstacles such
as houses or trees. You may have to slow
your vehicle speed to successfully receive
the garage door opener communication.

nication

Status Indicators

Within five seconds after programming a
new HomeLink button, both of HomeLink’s
garage door status indicators will flash
rapidly green indicating that the garage
door two-way communication has been
enabled. If your garage door status in-
dicators flashed, two-way communication
programming is complete.

If the garage door status indicators do not
flash, additional HomeLink information
and programming videos can be found
online at www.HomeLink.com/Subaru and
www.youtube.com/HomeLinkGentex.

HomeLink

Wireless Control Sys-

tem, you may be operating a
garage door opener or other
device. Make sure that people
and objects are out of the way of
the garage door or other device
to prevent potential harm or da-
mage.

Wire-

less Control System with a gar-
age door opener that lacks the
safety stop and reverse feature
as required by applicable safety
standards. A garage door opener
which cannot detect an object,
signaling the door to stop and
reverse, does not meet these
safety standards. Using a garage
door opener without these fea-
tures increases risk of serious
injury or death. For more infor-
mation, consult the HomeLink

website at www.HomeLink.com/
