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 battery. No
separate batteries are required. If the vehi-
cle's battery is discharged or is disconnected,
HomeLink® will retain all programming.
When the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver is
programmed, retain the original transmitter
for future programming procedures (Example:
new vehicle purchases). Upon sale of the ve-
hicle, the programmed HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver buttons should be erased for se-
curity purposes. For additional information,
see “Programming HomeLink®” (P. 2-116).
WARNING
• Do not use the HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver with any garage door opener
that lacks safety stop and reverse fea-
tures as required by federal safety stan-
dards. (These standards became effec-
tive 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.
• Your vehicle's engine should be turned
off while programming the HomeLink®
Universal Transceiver. Do not breathe
exhaust gases; they contain colorless
and odorless carbon monoxide. Carbon
monoxide is dangerous. It can cause un-
consciousness or death.NOTE:
If your vehicle is equipped with Smart Rear-
view Mirror, you may have to complete ad-
ditional programming to enable Two-Way
Communication. The mirror can provide the
status of your garage door (open/close).
PROGRAMMING HOMELINK®
The following steps show generic instruc-
tions on how to program a Homelink® but-
ton. If you have any questions or are having
difficulty programming your HomeLink®
buttons, refer to the HomeLink® web
site at: www.homelink.com/infiniti 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 trans-
mission of the radio-frequency.

If you live in Canada or you are having diffi-
culties training a gate operatororgarage
door opener by using the “Programming
HomeLink®” procedures, replace“Program-
ming HomeLink®” step 3with the following:
NOTE:
When programming a garage door opener,
etc., unplug the device during the “cycling”
process to prevent possible damage to the
device components.
Step 3: While the HomeLink® indicator light
is flashing in orange, press and release
(“cycling”) the hand-held transmitter button
every 2 seconds. Continue to press and re-
lease the hand-held transmitter button until
the HomeLink® indicator light changes from
orange to green. When the indicator light
illuminates in green, the hand-held transmit-
ter button may be released.
Proceed with “Programming HomeLink®”
step 4 to complete.
Remember to plug the device back in when
programming is completed.
OPERATING THE HOMELINK®
UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER
The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver, after
it is programmed, can be used to activate the
programmed device. To operate, firmly press
the appropriate programmed HomeLink®
button. The indicator light will illuminate in
green with three parenthesis
on the
mirror while the signal is being transmitted.
PROGRAMMING TROUBLE-
SHOOTING
If the HomeLink® does not quickly learn the
hand-held transmitter information:
• Replace the hand-held transmitter batter- ies with new batteries.
• Position the hand-held transmitter with its battery area facing away from the
HomeLink® button.
• Press and hold both the HomeLink® button and hand-held transmitter button in each
step without interruption. • Position the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 in
(2 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink®
button. 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 – for
example, 6 to 12 in (15 to 20 cm) away,
keeping the HomeLink® button 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/infiniti or call

CAUTION
• Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with
you when operating the vehicle.
• Never leave the Intelligent Key in the ve-
hicle when you leave the vehicle.
The Intelligent Key is always communicating
with the vehicle as it receives radio waves.
The Intelligent Key system transmits weak
radio waves. Environmental conditions may
interfere with the operation of the Intelligent
Key system under the following operating
conditions:
• When operating near a location where strong radio waves are transmitted, such as
a TV tower, power station and broadcast-
ing station.
• When in possession of wireless equipment, such as a cellular telephone, transceiver or
a CB radio.
• When the Intelligent Key is in contact with or covered by metallic materials.
• When any type of radio wave remote con- trol is used nearby.
• When the Intelligent Key is placed near an electric appliance such as a personal
computer.
• When the vehicle is parked near a parking meter. In such cases, correct the operating condi-
tions before using the Intelligent Key function
or use the mechanical key.
Although the life of the battery varies de-
pending on the operating conditions, the bat-
tery’s life is approximately two years. If the
battery is discharged, replace it with a new
one.
When the Intelligent Key battery is low, an
indicator illuminates in the vehicle informa-
tion display. For additional information, see
“Vehicle information display 7 inch (18 cm)
Type A” (P. 2-22) or “Vehicle information dis-
play 12.3 inch (21 cm) Type B” (P. 2-44).
Since the Intelligent Key is continuously re-
ceiving radio waves, if the key is left near
equipment which transmits strong radio
waves, such as signals from a TV and per-
sonal computer, the battery life may become
shorter.
For additional information, see “Battery re-
placement” (P. 8-24).
As many as four Intelligent Keys can be reg-
istered and used with one vehicle. For infor-
mation about the purchase and use of addi-
tional Intelligent Keys, it is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer.CAUTION
Listed below are conditions or occurrences
which will damage the Intelligent Key:
• Do not allow the Intelligent Key, which
contains electrical components, to come
into contact with water or salt water.
This could affect the system function.
• Do not drop the Intelligent Key.
• Do not strike the Intelligent Key sharply
against another object.
• Do not change or modify the Intelligent
Key.
• Wetting may damage the Intelligent
Key. If the Intelligent Key gets wet, im-
mediately wipe until it is completely dry.
• Do not place the Intelligent Key for an
extended period in an area where tem-
peratures exceed 140°F (60°C).
• Do not attach the Intelligent Key with a
key holder that contains a magnet.
• Do not place the Intelligent Key near

charged or strong radio waves are present
near the operating location, the Intelligent
Key operating range becomes narrower, and
the Intelligent Key may not function properly.
The operating range is within 31.5 in (80 cm)
from each lock sensor
O1.
If the Intelligent Key is too close to the door
glass, handle or rear bumper, the lock sensors
may not function.
When the Intelligent Key is within the operat-
ing range, it is possible for anyone, even
someone who does not carry the Intelligent
