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®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 3 with 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.
Step 3: While the HomeLink
®indicator light
is flashing in orange, press and release
(“cycling”) the hand-held transmitter button
every 2 seconds. Continue to press and
release the hand-held transmitter button
until the HomeLink
®indicator light changes
from orange to green. When the indicator
light illuminates in green, hand-held trans- mitter button may be released.
Proceed with “Programming HomeLink
®”
step 4 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 parenthesison 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 bat-
teries with new batteries.
. position the hand-held transmitter with
its battery area facing away from the
HomeLink
®button.
. press and hold 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 30 cm) away, keeping the
HomeLink
®button 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/infiniti or 1-800-
355-3515.

USING THE GARAGE DOOR
TWO-WAY COMMUNICATION
HomeLink®has the function of communi-
cating with garage door opener systems. If
your garage door openers are compatible
with HomeLink
®, the HomeLink®can:
. receive and display “closing” or “opening”
status from your garage door opener.
. recall and display the garage door being
“closed” or “opened”.
HomeLink
®can receive the status from a
garage door opener at a range up to 820 ft
(250 m), but it varies depending on the
environment. You may need to reduce
vehicle speed to successfully receive the
garage door opener communication.
Programming two-way communi-
cation
