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 dis-
connected, 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. 2-80).
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.PROGRAMMING HOMELINK®
The following steps show generic instruc-
tions on how to program a Homelink®
button. 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.
HOMELINK® UNIVERSAL

1Homelink® buttons (1–3)
2Indicator light (appears above each
Homelink® button) 1. Position the end of your hand-held trans-
mitter 1-3 inches (2-8 cm) away from the
HomeLink® button that you would wish
to program while keeping the indicator
light in view.
2. Simultaneously press and hold both the chosen HomeLink® and hand-held trans-
mitter buttons until the HomeLink® indi-
cator light changes from a slow to a rap-
idly blinking light. Now you may release
both the HomeLink® and hand-held
transmitter buttons.
NOTE:
Some hand-held transmitter (garage door
opener remote) may actually train better a
distance of 6–12 inches (15–20 cm). Keep
this in mind if you have difficulty with the
programming process.
3. Firmly press, hold for five seconds and
release the programmed Homelink® but-
ton up to two separate times to activate
the door. If the door does not activate,
press and hold the just trained Homelink®
button and observe the indicator light.
• If the indicator light stays on con-
stantly, programming is complete and
your device should activate when the
Homelink® button is pressed and
released.
• If the indicator light blinks rapidly for
two seconds and then turns to a con-
stant light, continue with “Program-
ming” steps 4–6 to complete the pro-
gramming of a rolling code equipped
device (most commonly a garage door
opener).

NOTE:
Some devices may require you to replace this
Programming Step 2 with procedures noted
in the “Programming HomeLink® for Cana-
dian customers and gate openers” (P. 2-82)
section. If the Homelink® indicator light
does not change to a rapidly blinking light
after performing these steps, contact
Homelink® at www.homelink.com.
4. At the garage door opener motor (securitygate motor, etc.), locate the “Learn” or
“Set” button. This can usually be found
where the hanging antenna wire is at-
tached to the motor-head unit (see the
device’s manual to identify this button.).
The name and color of the button may
vary by manufacturer.
NOTE:
A ladder and/or second person may simplify
the following steps. Do not stand on your
vehicle to perform the next steps. 5. Firmly press and release the “Learn” or
“Set” button until the indicator illuminates.
Once the button is pressed, you have ap-
proximately 30 seconds to initiate the
next step.
6. Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for two seconds and release the
HomeLink® button up to three times. Do
not press the HomeLink® button rapidly.
At this point programming is complete
and your device should operate when
the HomeLink® button is pressed and
released. 7. 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.
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 “time-out” 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 “Programming
HomeLink®” procedures, replace“Program-
ming HomeLink®” step 2with 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.
LIC4798
Example
2-82Instruments and controls

Step 2: Continue to press and hold the
HomeLink® button while you press and re-
lease – every two seconds (“cycle”) your
hand-held transmitter until the HomeLink®
indicator light changes from a slow to a rap-
idly blinking light. Now you may release both
the Homelink® and hand-held transmitter
buttons.
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, 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.
It is recommended not to place metal objects
near the garage door opener antenna for
optimal functionality. 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.
CLEARING THE PROGRAMMED
INFORMATION
The following procedure clears the pro-
grammed information from three buttons.
Individual buttons cannot be cleared. How-
ever, individual buttons can be reprogrammed.
For additional information, see “Reprogram-
ming a single HomeLink® button” (P. 2-84).
To clear all programming
1. Press and hold the two outer HomeLink®
buttons until the indicator light begins to
flash in green, in approximately 10 sec-
onds. Do not hold for longer than 20

INFINITI INTELLIGENT KEY
Your vehicle can only be driven with the Intel-
ligent Keys which are registered to your
vehicle’s Intelligent Key System components
and INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System
components.
Never leave the keys in the vehicle.As many as four Intelligent Keys can be reg-
istered and used with one vehicle. The new
keys must be registered prior to use with the
Intelligent Key System and INFINITI Vehicle
Immobilizer System of your vehicle. It is rec-
ommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service. Since the registration process
requires erasing all memory in the Intelligent
Key components when registering new keys,
be sure to take all Intelligent Keys that you
have to an INFINITI retailer.
A key number plate is supplied with your 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, it is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer for duplicates by
using the key number. INFINITI does not re-
cord 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, it can be
duplicated without knowing the key number.
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 resistant;
however, wetting may damage the In-
telligent Key. If the Intelligent Key gets
wet, immediately wipe until it is com-
pletely dry.
– Do not bend, drop or strike it against
another object.
– If the outside temperature is below 14°F
(-10°C), the battery of the Intelligent
Key may not function properly.
– Do not place the Intelligent Key for an
extended period in a place where tem-
peratures exceed 140°F (60°C).
– Do not change or modify the Intelligent
Key.
– Do not use a magnet key holder.
– Do not place the Intelligent Key near an
electric appliance such as a television set
or a personal computer.
