HomeLink ®
Universal Transceiver provides
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.

To 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

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 ®

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.
