HomeLink® Universal Transceiver
USING THE TOUCHSCREEN5.23
HomeLink® Universal TransceiverAbout HomeLink®
If Model S is equipped with the optional
tech package, you can program the
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver to operate up
to three garage doors, gates, lights, and
security systems that can transmit Radio
Frequency (RF) signals.
Programming HomeLink
1.Park in front of the device you want to
program, and have the device’s remote
control ready.
2.To u c h Controls > Settings > HomeLink on
the touchscreen.
3.To u c h Enter Name, then use the onscreen
keyboard to enter a name for your
HomeLink device.
4.To u c h Create HomeLink.
5.Follow the onscreen instructions.
Once programmed, you can operate the device
by touching its corresponding HomeLink icon
on the touchscreen’s status bar. HomeLink
remembers the location of your programmed
devices. When you approach a known location,
the HomeLink control on the touchscreen
automatically drops down. When you drive
away, it disappears.
NOTE: For security reasons, erase your
HomeLink settings if you sell Model S.
WARNING: Your device might open or
close during programming. Before
programming, make sure that the device
is clear of any people or objects.
WARNING: Do not use the HomeLink
Universal Transceiver with a garage door
that does not meet federal safety
standards. A garage door opener that
cannot detect an object in its path and
then automatically stop and reverse,
does not meet these standards. Using a
garage door opener without these
features increases the risk of injury or
death.
