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 pro-
gram 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 memory)
until the indicator light
*Ablinks (after 20
seconds) . Release both buttons.
2. Position the end of the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 in (20 to 70 mm) away from the
HomeLink
®surface.
SIC3613
3. Using both hands, simultaneously push and
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 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 have just pro-
grammed. 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®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) . NOTE:
If programming a garage door opener, etc.,
it is advised to unplug the device during
the “cycling” process to prevent possible
damage to the garage door opener com-
ponents.
OPERATING THE HomeLink®UNIVER-
SAL TRANSCEIVER
HomeLink®Universal Transceiver (once pro-
grammed) may now be used to activate the

. replace the hand-held transmitter batteries
with new batteries.
. position the hand-held transmitter with its
battery area facing away from the
HomeLink
®surface.
. push and hold both the HomeLink®and
hand-held transmitter buttons without inter-
ruption.
. position the hand-held transmitter 2 to 5 in

surface. Hold the transmitter in that position
for up to 15 seconds. If HomeLink®is not
programmed within that time, try holding the
transmitter in another position - keeping the
indicator light in view at all times.
If you continue to have programming difficulties,
please contact the NISSAN Consumer Affairs
Department. The phone numbers are located in

ver button, complete the following.
1. Push and hold the desired HomeLink
®
button. Do not release the button until step
4 has been completed.
2. When the indicator light begins to flash slowly (after 20 seconds) , position the

®surface. 3. Push and hold the hand-held transmitter
button.
4. The HomeLink
®indicator light will flash, first
