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.

may make the following 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 manufac-
turer 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 open-
er’s manual.
5. Press and release the “learn” or “smart” button.
NOTE:Once the button is pressed, you have ap-
proximately 30 seconds to initiate the next

PROGRAMMING HOMELINK®
FOR CANADIAN CUSTOMERS
AND GATE OPENERS
Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter signals to “time-out” (or quit) af-
ter several seconds of transmission – which
may not be long enough for HomeLink® to
pick up the signal during training. Similar to
this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators
are designed to “timeout” in the same
manner. If you live in Canada or you are having diffi-
culties training a gate operator
orgarage
door opener by using the “Training” proce-
dures, replace “Programming 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.
1. For additional information, see “Program-
ming HomeLink®” step 1, (P. 2-70). 2. Using both hands, simultaneously press
and hold the desired HomeLink® button
and the hand-held transmitter button.
During training, your hand-held transmit-
ter may automatically stop transmitting.
Continue to press and hold the desired
HomeLink® button while you press and
re-press (“cycle”) your hand-held trans-
mitter every 2 seconds until the frequency
signal has been learned. The HomeLink®
indicator light will flash slowly and then
rapidly after several seconds upon suc-
cessful training. DO NOT release 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 suc-
cessful training.
Proceed with “Programming HomeLink®”
step 3 to complete.
If the device was unplugged during the
programming procedure, remember to
plug it back in when programming is
completed.
