3. Using both hands, simultaneously push andhold both the HomeLink
®button you want to
program and the hand-held transmitter
button.
DO NOT release the buttons until step 4 has
been completed.
4. Hold down both buttons until the indicator light on HomeLink
®flashes, changing from a
“slow blink” to a “rapid blink”. This could
take up to 90 seconds. When the indicator
light blinks rapidly, both buttons may be
released. The rapidly flashing light indicates
successful programming. To activate the
garage door or other programmed device,
push and hold the programmed HomeLink
®
button - releasing when the device begins to
activate.
5. If the indicator light on HomeLink
®blinks
rapidly for two seconds and then turns solid,
HomeLink
®has picked up a “rolling code”
garage door opener signal. You will need to
proceed with the next steps to train Home-
Link
®, completing the programming may
require a ladder and another person for
convenience.
6. Push and release the program button located on the garage door opener’s motor
to activate the “training mode”. This button is
usually located near the antenna wire that
hangs down from the motor. If the wire
originates from under a light lens, you will
need to remove the lens to access the
training button.
NOTE:
Once you have pushed and released
the training button on the garage door
opener’s motor and the “training light”
is lit, you have 30 seconds in which to
perform step 7. For convenience, use
the help of a second person to assist
when performing this step.
7. Quickly (within 30 seconds of pushing and releasing the garage door opener training
button) and firmly push and release the
HomeLink
®button you’ve just programmed. Push and release the HomeLink
®button up
to three times to complete the training.
8. Your HomeLink
®button should now be
programmed. To prog ram the remaining
HomeLink
®buttons for additional door or
gate openers, follow steps 2 through 8 only.
NOTE:
Do not repeat step 1 unless you want to
“clear” all previously programmed Home-
Link
®buttons.
If you have any questions or are having difficulty
programming your HomeLink
®buttons, please
refer to the HomeLink
®web site at: www.
homelink.com or call 1-800-355-3515.
PROGRAMMING HomeLink
®FOR CA-
NADIAN CUSTOMERS
Prior to 1992, D.O.C. regulations required
hand-held transmitters to stop transmitting after
2 seconds. To program your hand-held trans-
mitter to HomeLink
®, continue to push and hold
the HomeLink
®button (note steps 2 through 4
under “Programming HomeLink
®”) while you
push and re-push (“cycle”) your hand-held
transmitter every 2 seconds until the indicator
light flashes rapidly (indicating successful pro-
gramming) .

AUDIO OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
RadioPush the ignition switch to the ACC or ON
position and push the radio band select button
to turn on the radio. If you listen to the radio with
the engine not running, the ignition switch
should be pushed to the ACC position.
Radio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from radio transmitter, build-
ings, bridges, mountains and other external
influences. Intermittent changes in reception
quality normally are caused by these external
influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the
vehicle may influence radio reception
quality.
Radio reception:
Your NISSAN radio system is equipped with
state-of-the-art electronic circuits to enhance
radio reception. These circuits are designed to
extend reception range, and to enhance the
quality of that reception.
However there are some general characteristics
of both FM and AM radio signals that can affect
radio reception quality in a moving vehicle, even
when the finest equipment is used. These
characteristics are completely normal in a given
reception area, and do not indicate any mal-function in your NISSAN radio system.
Reception conditions will constantly change
because of vehicle movement. Buildings, terrain,
signal distance and interference from other
vehicles can work against ideal reception.
Described below are some of the factors that
can affect your radio reception.
Some cellular phones or other devices may
cause interference or a buzzing noise to come
from the audio system speakers. Storing the
device in a different location may reduce or
eliminate the noise.
SAA0306
FM radio reception:
Range: FM range is normally limited to 25 to 30
miles (40 to 48 km) , with monaural (single
channel) FM having slightly more range than
stereo FM. External influences may sometimes
interfere with FM station reception even if the
FM station is within 25 miles (40 km). The
strength of the FM signal is directly related to the
distance between the transmitter and receiver.
FM signals follow a line-of-sight path, exhibiting
many of the same characteristics as light. For
example they will reflect off objects.
Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves away from
a station transmitter, the signals will tend to fade
and/or drift.
