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 battery. No
separate batteries are required. If the
vehicle’s battery is discharged or is
disconnected, HomeLink
®will retain all
programming.
When the HomeLink
®Universal Transceiver
is programmed, retain the original trans-
mitter 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, refer to “Program-
ming HomeLink
®” (P.2-60).
WARNING
.Do not use the HomeLink®Universal
Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and
reverse features as required by fed-
eral safety standards. (These stan-dards 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 auto-
matically stop and reverse, does not
meet current federal safety stan-
dards. 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 pro-
gramming.
.Your vehicle’s engine should be
turned off while programming the

gerous. It can cause unconsciousness
