a convenient way to consolidate the func-
tions 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.
Once HomeLink
®Universal Transceiver is
programmed, retain the original transmit-
ter 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, see “Program-
ming HomeLink
®” (P.2-60).
WARNING
. Do not use HomeLink®Universal Trans-
ceiver 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 automati-
cally stop and reverse, does not meet
current federal safety standards. Using a
garage door opener without these fea-
tures increases the risk of serious injury
or death.
. During programming procedure, your
garage door or security gate may open
or close. Make sure that people and
objects are clear of the garage door,
gate, etc. that you are programming.
. Your vehicle’s engine should be turned
off while programming HomeLink
®Uni-
versal Transceiver.

PROGRAMMING HomeLink®GUID-C1A6C78C-5674-4502-BB48-800218FBC19ETo program your HomeLink®Transceiver to
operate a garage door, gate, or entry door
opener, home or office lighting, you need
to be at the same location as the device.
Note: Garage door openers (manufactured
after 1996) have “rolling code protection”.
To program a garage door opener equipped
with “rolling code protection”; you will
need to use a ladder to get up to the
garage door opener motor to be able to
access the “smart or learn” program
button.
SIC3612
1. To begin, push and hold the 2 outer HomeLink®buttons (to clear the mem-
ory) until the indicator light
*Ablinks
(after 20 seconds). Release both but-
tons.
2. Position the end of the hand-held
transmitter 1-3 inches away from the
HomeLink
®surface.
SIC3613
3. Using both hands, simultaneously push
and hold both the HomeLink®button
you want to program and the hand-held
transmitter button.
DO NOT release the buttons until step 4
has been completed.
4. Hold down both buttons until the
indicator light on HomeLink
®flashes,
changing from a “slow blink”to a
“rapid blink”. This could take up to 90
seconds. When the indicator light
blinks rapidly, both buttons may be
released. The rapidly flashing light
indicates successful programming. To
activate the garage door or other

programmed device, push and hold the
programmed HomeLink®button - re-
leasing when the device begins to
activate.
5. If the indicator light on HomeLink
®
blinks rapidly for two seconds and then
turns solid, HomeLink®has picked up a
“rolling code” garage door opener
signal. You will need to proceed with
the next steps to train HomeLink
®,
completing the programming may re-
quire a ladder and another person for
convenience.
6. Push and release the program button located on the garage door opener’s
motor to activate the “training mode”.
This button is usually located near the
antenna wire that hangs down from the
motor. If the wire originates from under
a light lens, you will need to remove the
lens to access the training button.
NOTE:
Once you have pushed and released
the training button on the garage door
opener’s motor and the “training light”
is lit, you have 30 seconds in which to
perform step 7. For convenience, use
the help of a second person to assist
when performing this step. 7. Quickly (within 30 seconds of pushing
and releasing the garage door opener
training button) and firmly push and
release the HomeLink
®button you’ve
just programmed. Push and release the
HomeLink
®button up to three times to
complete the training.
8. Your HomeLink
®button should now be
programmed. To program the remaining
HomeLink
®buttons for additional door
or gate openers, follow steps 2 through
8 only.
NOTE:
Do not repeat step 1 unless you want to
“clear” all previously programmed
HomeLink
®buttons.
If you have any questions or are having
difficulty programming your HomeLink
®
buttons, please refer to the HomeLink®
web site at: www.homelink.com or call 1-

PROGRAMMING HomeLink®FOR
CANADIAN CUSTOMERS
GUID-FA6ED7D7-5805-4878-A033-2D4A6CF0EB88Prior to 1992, D.O.C. regulations required
hand-held transmitters to stop transmitting
after 2 seconds. To program your hand-
held transmitter to HomeLink
®, continue to
push and hold the HomeLink®button (note
steps 2 through 4 under “Programming
HomeLink
®”) while you push and re-push
(“cycle”) your hand-held transmitter every
2 seconds until the indicator light flashes
rapidly (indicating successful program-
ming).
NOTE:
If programming a garage door opener, etc.,
it is advised to unplug the device during
the “cycling” process to prevent possible
damage to the garage door opener com-
ponents.

keys. Record the key number and keep it in
a safe place (such as your wallet), not in
the vehicle. If you lose your keys, see an
INFINITI retailer for duplicates by using the
key number. INFINITI does not record any
key numbers so it is very important to keep
track of your key number plate.
A key number is only necessary when you
have lost all keys and do not have one to
duplicate from. If you still have a key, this
key can be duplicated by an INFINITI
retailer.

INTELLIGENT KEYGUID-A551C3AB-B296-4A24-89AB-190E300E9873Your vehicle can only be driven with the
Intelligent Keys which are registered to
your vehicle’s Intelligent Key system com-
ponents and INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer
System components. As many as 4 Intelli-
gent Keys can be registered and used with
one vehicle. The new keys must be
registered by an INFINITI retailer prior to
use with the Intelligent Key system and INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System of your
vehicle. Since the registration process
requires erasing all memory in the Intelli-
gent Key components when registering
new keys, be sure to take all Intelligent
Keys that you have to the INFINITI retailer.
It is possible that the Intelligent Key
functions become canceled. Contact an
INFINITI retailer.
CAUTION
.
Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with
you when driving. The Intelligent Key is a
precision device with a built-in transmit-
ter. To avoid damaging it, please note
the following.
—The Intelligent Key is water resis-
tant; however, wetting may damage
the Intelligent Key. If the Intelligent
Key gets wet, immediately wipe until
it is completely dry.
—Do not bend, drop or strike it
against another object.
—If the outside temperature is below 148F (−108C) degrees, the battery of
the Intelligent Key may not function
properly.

. If an Intelligent Key is lost or stolen,
INFINITI recommends erasing the ID code
of that Intelligent Key. This will prevent
the Intelligent Key from unauthorized
use to unlock the vehicle. For informa-
tion regarding the erasing procedure,
please contact an INFINITI retailer.

WARNING
.Always have the doors locked while
driving. Along with the use of seat belts,
this provides greater safety in the event
of an accident by helping to prevent
persons from being thrown from the
vehicle. This also helps keep children
and others from unintentionally opening
the doors, and will help keep out
intruders.
. Before opening any door, always look for
and avoid oncoming traffic.
. Do not leave children unattended inside
the vehicle. They could unknowingly
activate switches or controls. Unat-
tended children could become involved
in serious accidents.
