the key is removed from the ignition, they
will automatically turn off after approxi-
mately 30 minutes.The Integrated HomeLinkTUniversal Trans-
ceiver provides a convenient way to consoli-
date the functions of up to three individual
hand-held transmitters into one built-in de-
vice.
cThe Integrated HomeLinkTUniversal
Transceiver will operate garage doors,
gates, home/office lighting systems and
security systems by storing and transmit-
ting the programming information of your
current hand-held transmitters.
c
The Integrated HomeLinkTUniversal
Transceiver is built-in and powered by
your vehicle's battery and charging sys-
tem. No separate batteries are necessary.
WARNING
Do not use this Integrated HomeLinkT
Universal Transceiver with any garage
door opener that lacks safety stop and
reverse features as required by federal
safety standards (these standards be-
came effective for models manufac-
tured after April 1, 1982). A garage door
opener which cannot detect an object
in the path of a closing garage door and
then automatically stop and reverse the

door, does not meet current federal
safety standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features in-
creases the risk of serious injury or
death.
PROGRAMMING HomeLinkT
WARNING
During the programming procedure
your garage door or security gate will
open and close (if the transmitter is
within range). Make sure that people or
objects are clear of the garage door,
gate, etc. that you are programming.Your vehicle's engine should be turned
off while programming your transmit-
ter. The Integrated HomeLinkTUniver-
sal Transceiver may not work with
older garage door openers that do not
meet current Federal Consumer Safety
Standards.
1. Test the Integrated HomeLinkTUniversal
Transceiver by pressing any button. The
red indicator light should come on. If you
have previously programmed a button
proceed to step 3.
2. Clear all channels on the Integrated
HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver by
holding down both outside buttons (#1 &
#3) until the red light begins to flash
rapidly (approximately 20 seconds).
Then release both buttons.
3. Select which of the three Integrated
HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver but-
tons you want to program.
4. Hold your hand-held transmitter against
the bottom surface of the Integrated
HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver so
that you can still see the red indicator
light.

5. Press the desired button until the red
indicator light flashes slowly. Do not re-
lease the button. Continue holding and
press the hand-held transmitter button
through step 6.
6. Hold down both buttons until the red
indicator light on the Integrated
HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver
flashes rapidly (This may take 1 to 90
seconds). Then release both buttons.
The rapid flashing means that the trans-
ceiver has been successfully pro-
grammed to match your hand-held trans-
mitter. You can now use the Integrated
HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver in-
stead of your hand-held transmitter.
PROGRAMMING HomelinkTFOR
CANADIAN CUSTOMERS
Prior to 1992, D.O.C. regulations required
many hand-held transmitters to stop trans-
mitting after one or two seconds, even
though you continue to hold down the but-
ton. If you think you have one of these
hand-held transmitters, you should press
and re-press the transmitter button every 2
seconds without ever releasing the Inte-
grated HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver
button. The indicator light on the IntegratedHomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver should
blink rapidly indicating a successful pro-
gramming procedure. If it returns to the slow
blink of program mode, continue to periodi-
cally reactivate your hand-held transmitter
until a successful programming procedure
is indicated by the rapidly flashing indicator
light.
OPERATING THE INTEGRATED
HomeLinkTUNIVERSAL TRANS-
CEIVER
To operate, simply press the appropriate
button on the Integrated HomeLinkTUniver-
sal Transceiver. The red indicator light illu-
minates while the signal is being transmit-
ted. The effective transmission range of the
Integrated HomeLinkTUniversal Trans-
ceiver may differ from your hand-held trans-
mitter.
PROGRAMMING TROUBLE
DIAGNOSIS
Be sure to keep your original hand-held
transmitter for possible reprogramming if
necessary.
cMake sure batteries in the hand-held
transmitter are fully charged.cHold your hand-held transmitter against
the bottom surface of the Integrated
HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver so
that you can still see the red indicator
light.
cHold buttons for duration of the program-
ming without interruption.
cRotate your hand-held transmitter end-
over-end and program again. For best
results, place the end opposite the bat-
tery compartment against the Integrated
HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver when
programming.

CLEARING THE PROGRAMMED
INFORMATION
Should you sell your vehicle, be sure to
clear the channels of the Integrated
HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver. To clear
the channels, simultaneously hold down the
outside two buttons (#1 & #3) until the red
indicator light begins to flash rapidly (ap-
proximately 20 seconds). This will clear all
three buttons. Individual buttons cannot be
cleared, but can be reprogrammed at any
time by following the programming proce-
dures described previously.
ROLLING CODE PROGRAMMING
If your hand held transmitter appears to
train to the Integrated HomeLinkTUniversal
Transceiver, but does not open your garage
door, and your garage door opener was
manufactured after 1995, your garage door
opener may have a Code Protected or
Rolling Code feature. This type of system
will change the code of your garage door
opener every time you open or close your
garage door.
To determine if you have one of these
systems, depress the button on the Inte-
grated HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver
that you have just programmed. If the LED
on the HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver
flashes rapidly for 1 to 2 seconds, then
remains on, your garage door opener has a
rolling code system.
To operate your rolling code garage door
opener from your Integrated HomeLinkT
Universal Transceiver, follow these steps:
1. Program your hand held transmitter to
the Integrated HomeLinkTUniversal
Transceiver by following the procedures
outlined previously (if not yet pro-
grammed).2. Program your garage door opener re-
ceiver to recognize the Integrated
HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver (The
Integrated HomeLinkTUniversal Trans-
ceiver follows the same procedure to
train to the receiver as your hand held
transmitter did when it was first installed):
a) Remove the cover panel from your
garage door opener receiver. The re-
ceiver should be located by the ga-
rage door opener motor.
b)
Locate the training button on the ga-
rage door opener receiver. The exact
location and color of the button may
vary by garage door opener brand. If
you have difficulty locating the training
button, reference your garage door
opener manual. If you have difficulty
programming your garage door
opener equipped with a rolling code
system to recognize the Integrated
HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver with
the Rolling Code feature, call NISSAN
Consumer Affairs Department.
c) Press the training button on the ga-
rage door opener receiver for 1 to 2
seconds.
