HomeLink® Universal Transceiver
Hand-held transmitter
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver
HomeLink® is an advanced system that can be programmed to learn the c\
odes of three different remote
controlled-devices (e.g., garage door openers, remote lighting, entry d\
oor lock). HomeLink®'s sun visor-
mounted transceiver, powered by your vehicle's electrical system, may th\
en be used in place of your
hand-held remote controls.
NOTE: For your security, the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver is designed to\
not function if you lock
your vehicle from the outside.
Programming the transceiver
1. The ignition switch must be turned to the "accessory" position (II)\
before programming the
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver.
2. Begin by erasing all 3 factory default channels. Hold down the two ou\
tside buttons (buttons 1 and 3 in
the illustration) on the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver for about 2\
0 seconds, until HomeLink®'s
indicator light begins to flash. Then release the buttons.

3. Hold your hand-held transmitter (garage door opener, for example) 2\
to 5 in. (5 to 12 cm) away from
the HomeLink® surface, keeping the indicator light in view. For place\
ment questions, contact
HomeLink® toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Internet:
www.HomeLink.com).
4. Using two hands, push and hold both your hand-held transmitter's butt\
on and the transceiver button
you wish to program. The indicator light will flash first slowly, then r\
apidly. Rapid flashing tells you the
HomeLink® button has been successfully programmed. Release both butto\
ns.
5. If you are programming a rolling code-equipped device (e.g., garage \
door opener or entry door lock),
refer to "Programming rolling codes" on the next page to complete the pr\
ogramming process.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 to program the other two transceiver buttons.
If, after several attempts, you are unable to successfully train the Hom\
eLink® Universal Transceiver to
learn your hand-held transmitter's signal, contact HomeLink® toll-fre\
e 1-800-355-3515 (Internet:
www.
HomeLink.com).

WARNING!
- If you use HomeLink® to open a garage door or gate, be sure no one \
is near the gate or door while it
is in motion.
- Do not use the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver with any garage door\
opener that lacks safety
"stop" and "reverse" features as required by federal safety standards. (\
This includes any garage door
opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door opener t\
hat cannot "detect" an
object, signalling the door to "stop" and "reverse" does not meet curren\
t federal safety standards.
Using a garage door opener without these features increases the risk of \
serious injury or death. For
more information on this matter, call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Interne\
t:
www.HomeLink.com).
NOTE: Canadian residents:
During programming, your hand-held transmitter may automatically stop tr\
ansmitting. To successfully
train HomeLink®, continue to hold the HomeLink® button. At the sam\
e time, repeatedly press and hold
your hand-held transmitter's button at two-second intervals until HomeLi\
nk® has learned your
transmitter's code. The HomeLink® indicator light will flash first sl\
owly, and then rapidly to indicate
that the button has been successfully programmed.
Determining if your garage door uses a rolling code
Determine, in one of the following ways, if your garage door uses a roll\
ing code system and is

manufactured after 1996:
l Refer to the garage door opener owner's manual for verification.
l If your hand-held transmitter appears to program the HomeLink® Univer\
sal Transceiver but the
programmed button does not activate the garage door, your garage door op\
ener may have a rolling code.
l Press the programmed HomeLink® button. If the garage door opener has \
the rolling code feature, the
HomeLink® indicator light flashes rapidly and then glows steadily aft\
er approximately 2 seconds.
To train a rolling code garage door opener,
follow these instructions after programming the desired transceiver butt\
on according to "Programming
the transceiver." The help of a second person may make training easier.
1. Locate the training button on the garage door opener motor head unit.\
The location and color of the
training button may vary. If you encounter difficulty, refer to the gara\
ge door opener owner's manual or
call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Internet:
www.HomeLink.com).
2. Press the "training" button on the garage door opener motor head unit\
until the "training" light comes
on.
3. Press and release the programmed HomeLink® button. Press and relea\
se the programmed
HomeLink® button a second time to complete the training process.
4. Some garage door openers may require you to do this procedure a third\
time to complete the training.
5. The programmed button on your HomeLink® Universal Transceiver shou\
ld now operate your garage
door opener. The original hand-held transmitter can also be used, as des\
ired, to operate the garage door.
The remaining two HomeLink® buttons can be programmed in the same way\
. In the event of any
problems in programming the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver, call tol\
l-free 1-800-355-3515
(Internet:
www.HomeLink.com).
Operating the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver
Once programmed, the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver can be used in p\
lace of your handheld
transmitters.
To operate, the key must be turned to the "accessory" position (II) or\
the engine must be running. Press
the programmed HomeLink® button to activate the garage door, driveway\
gate, security lighting, home
security system, etc.

Your original hand-held transmitters may, of course, be used at any time\
.
Erasing programmed buttons
Individual buttons cannot be erased. To erase all three programmed butto\
ns:
1. Turn the ignition key to the "accessory" position (II).
2. Hold down the two outside buttons on the HomeLink® Universal Trans\
ceiver for about 20 seconds,

until HomeLink®'s indicator light begins to flash.
3. Release both buttons.
The HomeLink® buttons can be reprogrammed using the procedures descri\
bed on the previous page.
Reprogramming a single HomeLink® button
1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink® button. Do not release the bu\
tton until step 3 has been
completed.
2. When the indicator light begins to flash slowly (after approximately\
20 seconds), position your hand-
held transmitter 2 to 5 in. (5 to 12 cm) away from the HomeLink® su\
rface.
3. Press and hold the hand-held transmitter button. The HomeLink® ind\
icator light will flash first
slowly, then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes rapidly, release \
both buttons.
The previously programmed device has now been erased and the new device \
can be activated by
pressing the HomeLink® button that has just been programmed. This pro\
cedure will not affect any other
programmed HomeLink® buttons.
NOTE:
l Retain the original transmitter(s) for future programming procedures (\
e.g., if you purchase a new
vehicle).
l For your own security, erase all programmed buttons on the HomeLink® \
Universal Transceiver when
you sell your vehicle.
l Metallic sun protection films should not be used on any windows in a veh\
icle equipped with
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver. This could interfere with the transc\
eiver's function.
