Things You Should Know About Your UConnect™
System
Voice Training
For users experiencing difficulty with the system recog-
nizing their voice commands or numbers, the UCon-
nect™ system Voice Training feature may be used. To
enter this training mode, follow one of the two proce-
dures:
From outside the UConnect™ mode (e.g. from radio
mode)
•Press and hold the ‘Voice Recognition’ button for 5
seconds until the session begins, or,
•Press the ‘Voice Recognition’ button and saySetup,
Voice Trainingcommand.
Repeat the words and phrases when prompted by the
UConnect™ system. For best results, the Voice Training
session should be completed when the vehicle is parked,
engine running, all windows closed, and the blower fan
switched off.
This procedure may be repeated with a new user. The
system will adapt to the last trained voice only.
To restore the Voice Recognition system to factory default
settings, enter the Voice Training session via the above
procedure and follow the prompts.

in the hand-held transmitter of the device being pro-
grammed. This will allow for quicker training and accu-
rate transmission of the radio-frequency signal.
If your garage door opener (located in the garage) is
equipped with an antenna, make sure that the antenna is
hanging straight down.
1. Erase the factory test codes by pressing the two
outside buttons. Release the buttons when the light in the
Universal Transceiver begins to flash (about 20 seconds).
NOTE:Step 1 above does not have to be followed to
program additional hand held transmitters.
2. Choose one of the three Universal Transceiver buttons
to program. Position the end of your hand-held transmit-
ter 1-3 inches (3-8 cm) away from the HomeLink buttons
while keeping its indicator light in view.3. Simultaneously press and hold the HomeLink button
(that you want to train) and the hand-held transmitter
button.Do not release the buttons until Step 4 is
complete.
NOTE:Some gate operators and garage door openers
may require you to replace this Programming Step 3 with
procedures noted underGate Operator/Canadian Pro-
gramming.

training process. Some garage door openers may require
you to do this procedure a third time to complete the
training.
Canadian Programming/Gate Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter sig-
nals totime-out(or quit) after several seconds of
transmission, 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
designed totime-outin the same manner.
If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties
programming a gate operator by using theProgram-
mingprocedures (regardless of where you live),replace
Programming HomeLinkStep 3with the following:
3. Continue to press and hold the HomeLink button
while youpress and releaseyour hand-held transmitter
every two secondsuntil the frequency signal is accepted
successfully by HomeLink. The Universal Transceiver
light will flash slowly and then rapidly when the pro-
gramming is successful. Proceed withProgramming
HomeLinkStep 4to complete the procedure.
NOTE:When programming such a garage door opener
or gate, unplug the device to prevent possible damage to
the garage door or gate motor.
Using HomeLink
To operate, simply press and release the programmed
HomeLink button. Activation will now occur for the
trained device (i.e. garage door opener, gate operator,
security system, entry door lock, home/office lighting,
etc.). The light in the display shows that the signal is
being transmitted. For convenience, the hand-held trans-
mitter of the device may also be used at any time.
Erasing HomeLink Buttons
To erase programming from the three buttons (individual
buttons cannot be erased but can bereprogrammed-
note below), follow the step noted:
Press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons (for
approximately 20 seconds). Release the buttons when the
indicator begins to flash rapidly. All three channels will
be cleared.
