Customer Assistance

If you have problems with training
the HomeLink Universal

Transmitter, or would like
information on home products that
can be operated by the transmitter,

call (800) 355-3515. On the Internet,

go to www.homelink.jci.com. Important Safety Precautions
Always refer to the operating instructions and safety information
that came with your garage dooropener or other equipment you
intend to operate with the HomeLink Universal Transmitter. If you do not
have this information, you should contact the manufacturer of the
equipment.
While training or using the transmitter, make sure you have aclear view of the garage door or gate,
and that no one will be injured by its
movement.
General Information
If you are training the transmitter tooperate a garage door or gate, it is
recommended that you unplug the
motor for that device during training. Repeatedly pressing the remote
control button could burn out the
motor. The HomeLink transmitter stores
the code in a permanent memory.
There should be no need to retrain the transmitter if your car's battery
goes dead or is disconnected.
If your garage door opener was
manufactured before April 1982, you
may not be able to program the
HomeLink Universal Transmitter to
operate it. Garage door openers
manufactured before that date do
not have a safety feature that causes
them to stop and reverse if an
obstacle is detected during closing,
increasing the risk of injury. If you
have questions, call (800) 355-3515.
Instruments and Controls

HomeLink Universal Transmitter

Canadian Owners:

The remote control you are training from may stop transmitting after two
seconds. This is not long enough for

the HomeLink transmitter to learn
the code. Release and press the

button on the remote control every
two seconds until the transmitter has

learned the code.

5. The red light in the transmitter should begin flashing. It will flash
slowly at first, then rapidly.
6. When the red light flashes rapidly,
release both buttons. The

transmitter should have learned

the code from the remote control.
7. Plug in the garage door opener motor, then test the transmitter
button by pushing it. It should operate the garage door.
If the button does not work, repeat
this procedure to train it again. If it still does not work, you may have a
variable or rolling code garage door opener. Test this by pressing
and holding the HomeLink
transmitter button you just trained. If the red light blinks for twoseconds, then stays on, you have a
rolling code garage door opener.
You may be able to verify this with the manufacturer's documentation. Go to "Training With a Rolling

Code System."

8. Repeat these steps to train the other two transmitter buttons to
operate any other remotely-
controlled devices around your
home (lighting, automatic gate, security system, etc.).
Training With a Rolling Code
System

For security purposes, newer garage
door opening systems use a "rolling"or variable code. Information from
the remote control and the garage door opener are needed before the
HomeLink transmitter can operate
the garage door opener.

The "Training the Transmitter"
procedure trains the HomeLink
transmitter to the proper garagedoor opener code. The following
procedure synchronizes the HomeLink transmitter to the garage
door opener so they send and
receive the correct codes.

Security System
On EX and EX-V6 models

The security system helps to protect your car and valuables from theft.
The horn sounds and a combination of headlights, parking lights, side
marker lights and taillights flashes if
someone attempts to break into your
car or remove the radio. This alarm
continues for two minutes, then the system resets. To reset an alarming
system before the two minutes have
elapsed, unlock either front door
with the key or the remote transmitter.
The security system sets auto- matically fifteen seconds after you
lock the doors, hood, and trunk. For
the system to activate, you must lock
the doors from the outside with the
key, lock tab, door lock switch, or
remote transmitter. The security system light next to the driver's door
lock starts blinking immediately to show you the system is setting itself. SECURITY SYSTEM LIGHT
Once the security system is set, opening any door (without using the
key or the remote transmitter), or
the hood, will cause it to alarm. It also alarms if the radio is removed
from the dashboard or the wiring is cut. With the system set, you can still
open the trunk with the master key
or the remote transmitter without
triggering the alarm. The alarm will sound if the trunk lock is forced, or
the trunk is opened with the trunk

release handle.

The security system will not set if the hood, trunk, or any door is not
fully closed. If the system will not set,check the Door and Brake Lamp
Monitor on the instrument panel (see page 56), to see if the doors
and trunk are fully closed. Since it is
not part of the monitor display,
manually check the hood.
Do not attempt to alter this system
or add other devices to it.
