HomeLink
®Universal Transceiver provides
a convenient way to consolidate the func-
tions of up to three individual hand-held
transmitters into one built-in device.
HomeLink
®Universal Transceiver:
. Will operate most Radio Frequency (RF)
devices such as garage doors, gates,
home and office lighting, entry door
locks and security systems.
. Is powered by your vehicle ’s battery. No
separate batteries are required. If the
vehicle ’s battery is discharged or is
disconnected, HomeLink
®will retain all
programming.
Once HomeLink
®Universal Transceiver is
programmed, retain the original transmit-
ter for future programming procedures
(Example: new vehicle purchases). Upon
sale of the vehicle, the programmed
HomeLink
®Universal Transceiver buttons
should be erased for security purposes.
For additional information, see “Program-
ming HomeLink
®” later in this section.
WARNING
. Do not use HomeLink®Universal Trans-
ceiver with any garage door opener that
lacks safety stop and reverse features as
Instruments and controls2-61
VANITY MIRROR LIGHTS TRUNK LIGHTHomeLink®UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER

2-62Instruments and controls
required by federal safety standards.
(These standards became effective for
opener models manufactured after April
1, 1982.) A garage door opener which
cannot detect an object in the path of a
closing garage door and then automati-
cally stop and reverse, does not meet
current federal safety standards. Using a
garage door opener without these fea-
tures increases the risk of serious injury
or death.
. During programming procedure, your
garage door or security gate may open
or close. Make sure that people and
objects are clear of the garage door,
gate, etc. that you are programming.
. Your vehicle ’s engine should be turned
off while programming HomeLink
®Uni-
versal Transceiver.
PROGRAMMING HomeLink®
To program your HomeLink®Transceiver to
operate a garage door, gate, or entry door
opener, home or office lighting, you need
to be at the same location as the device.
Note: Garage door openers (manufactured
after 1996) have “rolling code protection ”.
To program a garage door opener equipped with
“rolling code protection” ; you will
need to use a ladder to get up to the
garage door opener motor to be able to
access the “smart or learn ”program
button.

1. To begin, push and hold the 2 outer
HomeLink®buttons (to clear the mem-
ory) until the indicator light
*Ablinks
(after 20 seconds). Release both but-
tons.
2. Position the end of the hand-held transmitter 1-3 inches away from the
HomeLink
®surface.

SIC3613
3. Using both hands, simultaneously pushand hold 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 HomeLink
®,
completing the programming may re-
quire 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 program 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
HomeLink
®buttons.
If you have any questions or are having
difficulty programming your HomeLink
®
buttons, please refer to the HomeLink®
