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
vehicle’s battery is discharged or is
disconnected, HomeLink® will retain all
programming.
When the HomeLink® Universal Transcei-
ver is programmed, retain the original
transmitter for future programming proce-
dures (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.2-58).
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
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver.
Do not breathe exhaust gases; they
contain colorless and odorless carbon
monoxide. Carbon monoxide is dan-
gerous. It can cause unconsciousness
or death.
PROGRAMMING HomeLink®
If you have any questions or are having
difficulty programming your HomeLink®
buttons, refer to the HomeLink® web site
at: www.homelink.com 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 transmission of the radio-fre-
quency.
1. Position the end of your hand-held
transmitter 1-3 in (26-76 mm) away
from the HomeLink® surface, keeping
the HomeLink® indicator light
in view.

.If the indicator lightis solid/con-
tinuous, programming is complete
and your device should activate when
the HomeLink® button is pressed and
released.
.If the indicator lightblinks rapidly
for two seconds and then turns to a
solid/continuous light, continue with
Steps 4-6 for a rolling code device. A
second person may make the follow-
ing steps easier. Use a ladder or other
device. Do not stand on your vehicle
to perform the next steps. 4. At the receiver located on the garage
door opener motor in the garage, locate
the “learn” or “smart” button (the name
and color of the button may vary by
manufacturer but it is usually located
near where the hanging antenna wire is
attached to the unit). If there is difficulty
locating the button, reference the garage
door opener’s manual.

PROGRAMMING HomeLink® FOR
CANADIAN CUSTOMERS AND
GATE OPENERS
Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter signals to “time-out” (or quit)
after several seconds of transmission –
which may not be long enough for
HomeLink® to pick up the signal during
programming. Similar to this Canadian law,
some U.S. gate operators are designed to
“time-out” in the same manner.
If you live in Canada or you are having
difficulties programming a gate operator or
garage door opener by using the “Program-
ming HomeLink®” procedures, replace “Pro-
gramming HomeLink®” Step 2 with the
following:
NOTE:
When programming a garage door opener,
etc., unplug the device during the “cycling”
process to prevent possible damage to the
garage door opener components.
Step 2: Using both hands, simultaneously
press and hold the desired HomeLink®
button and the hand-held transmitter but-
ton. During programming, your hand-held
transmitter may automatically stop trans-
mitting. Continue to press and hold the
desired HomeLink® button while you press
and re-press (“cycle”) your hand-held trans-mitter every two seconds until the frequency
signal has been learned. The HomeLink®
indicator light will flash slowly and then
rapidly after several seconds upon success-
ful programming.
DO NOTrelease until the
HomeLink® indicator light flashes slowly
and then rapidly. When the indicator light
flashes rapidly, both buttons may be re-
leased. The rapid flashing indicates success-
ful programming.
Proceed with “Programming HomeLink®”
step 3 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, simply
press and release the appropriate pro-
grammed HomeLink® Universal Transceiver
button. The amber indicator light will illumi-
nate while the signal is being transmitted.
For convenience, the hand-held transmitter
of the device may also be used at any time.
PROGRAMMING TROUBLE-
SHOOTING
If the HomeLink® does not quickly learn the
hand-held transmitter information:
. replace the hand-held transmitter bat-
teries with new batteries.
. position the hand-held transmitter with
its battery area facing away from the
HomeLink® surface.
. press and hold both the HomeLink® and
hand-held transmitter buttons without
interruption.
. position the hand-held transmitter 1-3 in
(26-76 mm) away from the HomeLink®
surface. 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 - keeping the indicator
light 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 or 1-800-355-
3515.
