The HomeLink
®Universal Transceiver pro-
vides a convenient way to consolidate the
functions 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 12-volt
battery. No separate batteries are
required. If the vehicle’s 12-volt battery
is discharged or is disconnected,
HomeLink
®will retain all programming.
When the HomeLink®Universal Transcei-
ver is programmed, retain the original
transmitter for future programming proce-
dures (Example: new vehicle purchases).
Upon sale of the vehicle, the programmed
HomeLink
®Universal Transceiver buttons
should be erased for security purposes.
For additional information, refer to “Pro-
gramming HomeLink
®” (P.2-64).
WARNING
. 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. (These standards became
effective for opener models manufac-
tured after April 1, 1982). A garage door
opener which cannot detect an object in
the path of a closing garage door and
then automatically stop and reverse,
does not meet current federal safety
standards. Using a garage door opener
without these features increases the risk
of serious injury or death.
. During the programming, procedure your
garage door or security gate will open
and close (if the transmitter is within
range). Make sure that people or objects
are clear of the garage door, gate, etc.
that you are programming.
. Your vehicle’s INFINITI Direct Response
Hybrid
®System should be turned off
while programming the HomeLink®Uni-
versal Transceiver. Do not breathe ex-
haust gases: they contain colorless and
odorless carbon monoxide. Carbon mon-
oxide is dangerous. It can cause uncon-
sciousness or death.
PROGRAMMING HomeLink®
If you have any questions or are having
difficulty programming your HomeLink®
buttons, refer to the HomeLink®web site
at: www.homelink.com or call 1-800-355-
3515.
NOTE:
It is also recommended that a new battery
be placed in the hand-held transmitter of
the device being programmed to
HomeLink
®for quicker programming and
accurate transmission of the radio-fre-
quency.
1. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter 1-3 in (26-76 mm) away
from the HomeLink
®surface, keeping
the HomeLink®indicator light*1in
view.

2. Using both hands, simultaneously
press and hold the desired HomeLink®
button and handheld transmitter but-
ton. DO NOT release until the
HomeLink
®indicator light*1flashes
slowly and then rapidly. When the
indicator light flashes rapidly, both
buttons may be released. (The rapid
flashing indicates successful program-
ming.)
NOTE:
Some devices to be programmed may
require you to replace Step 2 with the
cycling procedure noted in the “Pro-
gramming HomeLink
®for Canadian
Page 150 of 522

customers and gate openers”(P.2-66).
JVI0429X
3. Press and hold the programmed
HomeLink®button and observe the
indicator light.
.If the indicator light*1is solid/
continuous, programming is com-
plete and your device should acti-
vate when the HomeLink
®button is
pressed and released.
.If the indicator light*1blinks
rapidly for two seconds and then
turns to a solid/continuous light,
continue with Steps 4-6 for a rolling
code device. A second person may
make the following steps easier. Use
a ladder or other device. Do not stand on your vehicle to perform the
next steps.
4. At the receiver located on the garage door opener motor in the garage, locate
the “learn” or“smart” button (the
name and color of the button may vary
by manufacturer but it is usually
located near where the hanging anten-
na wire is attached to the unit). If there
is difficulty locating the button, refer-
ence the garage door opener’s manual.
5. Press and release the “learn” or
“smart” button.
NOTE:
Once the button is pressed, you have
approximately 30 seconds to initiate
the next step.
6. Return to the vehicle and firmly press and hold the programmed HomeLink
®
button for two seconds and release.
Repeat the “press/hold/release” se-
quence up to 3 times to complete the
programming process. HomeLink
®
should now activate your rolling code
equipped device.

PROGRAMMING HomeLink®FOR
CANADIAN CUSTOMERS AND GATE
OPENERS
Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter signals to “time-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 de-
signed to “time-out” in the same manner.
If you live in Canada or you are having
difficulties programming a gate operator or
garage door opener by using the “Pro-
gramming HomeLink
®” procedures, re-
place “Programming HomeLink®”Step 2
with the following:
NOTE:
When programming a garage door opener,
etc., unplug the device during the “cy-
cling” process to prevent possible damage
to the garage door opener components.
Step 2: Using both hands, simultaneously
press and hold the desired HomeLink
®
button and the hand-held transmitter button. During programming, your hand-
held transmitter may automatically stop
transmitting. Continue to press and hold
the desired HomeLink
®button while you
press and re-press (“cycle”) your hand-
held transmitter every two seconds until
the frequency signal has been learned. The
HomeLink
®indicator light will flash slowly
and then rapidly after several seconds
upon successful programming. DO NOT
release until the HomeLink
®indicator light
flashes slowly and then rapidly. When the
indicator light flashes rapidly, both buttons
may be released. The rapid flashing
indicates successful programming.
Proceed with “Programming HomeLink
®”
Step 3 to complete.
Remember to plug the device back in when
programming is completed.
OPERATING THE HomeLink®UNI-
VERSAL TRANSCEIVER
The HomeLink®Universal Transceiver, after
it is programmed, can be used to activate
the programmed device. To operate, simply
press and release the appropriate pro-
grammed HomeLink
®Universal Transceiver
button. The amber indicator light will
illuminate while the signal is being trans- mitted.
For convenience, the hand-held transmitter
of the device may also be used at any time.
PROGRAMMING TROUBLESHOOT-
ING
If the HomeLink®does not quickly learn
the hand-held transmitter information:
. replace the hand-held transmitter bat-
teries with new batteries.
. position the hand-held transmitter with
its battery area facing away from the
HomeLink
®surface.
. press and hold both the HomeLink®
and hand-held transmitter buttons
without interruption.
. position the hand-held transmitter 1-3
in (26-76 mm) away from the
HomeLink
®surface. Hold the transmit-
ter in that position for up to 15
seconds. If HomeLink
®is not pro-
grammed within that time, try holding
the transmitter in another position -
keeping the indicator light in view at all
times.
If you have any questions or are having
difficulty programming your HomeLink
®
buttons, refer to the HomeLink®web site
at: www.homelink.com or 1-800-355-3515.

CLEARING THE PROGRAMMED IN-
FORMATION
The following procedure clears the pro-
grammed information from both buttons.
Individual buttons cannot be cleared.
However, individual buttons can be repro-
grammed, see“Reprogramming a single
HomeLink
®button” (P.2-67).
To clear all programming
1. Press and hold the two outer
HomeLink®buttons until the indicator
light begins to flash in approximately
10 seconds. Do not hold for longer than
20 seconds.
2. Release both buttons.
HomeLink
®is now in the programming
mode and can be programmed at any time
beginning with “Programming HomeLink
®”
- Step 1.
REPROGRAMMING A SINGLE
HomeLink®BUTTON
To reprogram a HomeLink®Universal
Transceiver button, complete the following.
1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink
®
button. Do notrelease the button. 2. The indicator light will begin to flash
after 20 seconds. Without releasing the
HomeLink
®button, proceed with “Pro-
gramming HomeLink®” - Step 1.
For questions or comments, contact
HomeLink
®at: www.homelink.com or 1-
800-355-3515.
The HomeLink
®Universal Transceiver but-
ton has now been reprogrammed. The new
device can be activated by pushing the
HomeLink
®button that was just pro-
grammed. This procedure will not affect
any other programmed HomeLink
®but-
tons.
IF YOUR VEHICLE IS STOLEN
If your vehicle is stolen, you should change
the codes of any non-rolling code device
that has been programmed into
HomeLink
®. Consult the Owner’s Manual
of each device or call the manufacturer or
retailer of those devices for additional
information.
When your vehicle is recovered, you will
need to reprogram the HomeLink
®Uni-
versal Transceiver with your new transmit-
ter information. FCC Notice:
