battery location NISSAN 350Z 2007 Owner´s Manual

The HomeLink
Universal Transceiver provides 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 se-
curity 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 program-
ming.
Once the HomeLinkUniversal Transceiver
is programmed, retain the original trans-
mitter for future programming procedures
(for 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 “Pro-
gramming HomeLink
” later in this sec-
tion.
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 or close (if the transmitter is
within range). 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 the
HomeLink
Universal Transceiver.
PROGRAMMING HomeLinkTo program your HomeLink
Transceiver to op-
erate 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 with “rolling code protection”;
you will need to use a ladder to get up to the
garage door opener motor to be able to access
the training button.

When installing a CB, ham radio or car phone in
your NISSAN vehicle, be sure to observe the
following cautions, otherwise the new equip-
ment may adversely affect the Engine Control
system and other electronic parts.
WARNING

A cellular telephone should not be
used while driving so full attention
may be given to vehicle operation.
Some jurisdictions prohibit the use
of cellular telephones while driving.

If you must make a call while your
vehicle is in motion, the hands free
cellular phone operational mode (if
so equipped) is highly recommended.
Exercise extreme caution at all times
so full attention may be given to
vehicle operation.

If a conversation in a moving vehicle
requires you to take notes, pull off
the road to a safe location and stop
your vehicle before doing so.
CAUTION

Keep the antenna as far away as
possible from the electronic control
modules.

Keep the antenna wire more than 8 in
(20 cm) away from the electronic con-
trol system harnesses. Do not route
the antenna wire next to any harness.

Adjust the antenna standing-wave
ratio as recommended by the manu-
facturer.

Connect the ground wire from the CB
radio chassis to the body.

For details, consult a NISSAN dealer.
WARNING

Use a phone after stopping your ve-
hicle in a safe location. If you have to
use a phone while driving, exercise
extreme caution at all times so full
attention may be given to vehicle
operation.

If a conversation in a moving vehicle
requires you to take notes, pull off
the road to a safe location and stop
your vehicle before doing so.
CAUTION
To avoid draining the vehicle battery,
use a phone after starting the engine.
