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 devicessuch 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 vehi-
cle's battery is discharged or is discon-
nected, HomeLink® will retain all
programming.
When the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver
is programmed, retain the original transmit-
ter for future programming procedures (Ex-
ample: new vehicle purchases). Upon sale of
the vehicle, the programmed HomeLink®
Universal Transceiver buttons should be
erased for security purposes. For additional
information, see “Programming HomeLink®”
(P. 2-70).
WARNING
• Your vehicle's engine should be turned
off while programming the HomeLink®
Universal Transceiver. For additional in-
formation, see “Push-button ignition
switch” (P. 5-13). 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.
•
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 manufactured 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.
PROGRAMMING HOMELINK®
If you have any questions or are having diffi-
culty programming your HomeLink® but-
tons, refer to the HomeLink® web site at:
www.homelink.com or call 1-800-355-3515.
NOTE:
Place the ignition switch in the ON position
(without starting the engine) when pro-
gramming HomeLink®. It is also recom-
mended that a new battery be placed in the
hand-held transmitter of the device being
programmed to HomeLink® for quicker pro-
gramming and accurate transmission of the
radio frequency.
