battery NISSAN ARMADA 2021 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 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 Trans-
ceiver is programmed, retain the origi-
nal transmitter for future programming
procedures (Example: new vehicle pur-
chases). Upon sale of the vehicle, the
programmed HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver buttons should be erased
for security purposes. For additional
information, refer to “Programming
HomeLink®” (P.2-85).
WARNING
. Do not use the HomeLink® Uni-
versal Transceiver with any gar-
age door opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features as re-
quired by federal safety stan-
dards. (These standards became
effective for opener models man-
ufactured 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 fea-
tures increases the risk of serious
injury or death.
. During the programming proce-
dure 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 Trans-
ceiver. Do not breathe exhaust
gases; they contain colorless
and odorless carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide is dangerous. It
can cause unconsciousness or
death. NOTE:
If your vehicle is equipped with Intelli-
gent Rear View Mirror, you may have to
complete additional programming to
enable Two-Way Communication. The
mirror can provide the status of your
garage door (open/close).
PROGRAMMING HomeLink®
The following steps show generic instruc-
tions 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/nissan 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 pro-
grammed to HomeLink® for quicker
programming and accurate transmis-
sion of the radio-frequency.
Instruments and controls2-85
HomeLink® UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER
(Type B) (if so equipped)

Flashing in orange – Opening
Illuminating in green – Closed
Illuminating in green – Opened
The status indicator stops to flash after
an open/close signal is received or no
signal is received within 30 seconds from
the garage door opener.
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 de-
signed 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
“Programming HomeLink®” procedures,
replace “Programming HomeLink®” Step
3 with the following:
NOTE:
When programming a garage door
opener, etc., unplug the device during
the “cycling” process to prevent possi-
ble damage to the device components.
Step 3: While the HomeLink® indicator light is flashing in orange, press and
release (“cycling”) the hand-held transmit-
ter button every 2 seconds. Continue to
press and release the hand-held trans-
mitter button until the HomeLink® indi-
cator light changes from orange to green.
When the indicator light illuminates in
green, hand-held transmitter 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® UNI-
VERSAL TRANSCEIVER
The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver,
after it is programmed, can be used to
activate the programmed device. To op-
erate, firmly press the appropriate pro-
grammed HomeLink® button. The
indicator light will illuminate in green with
three parenthesis
on the mirror
while the signal is being transmitted.
PROGRAMMING TROUBLESHOOT-
ING
If the HomeLink® does not quickly learn
the hand-held transmitter information:
. replace the hand-held transmitter
batteries 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 transmit-
ter in that position for up to 15
seconds. If HomeLink® is not pro-
grammed 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/nissan or 1-800-
355-3515.
CLEARING THE PROGRAMMED IN-
FORMATION
The following procedure clears the pro-
grammed information from three but-
tons. Individual buttons cannot be
cleared. However, individual buttons can
be reprogrammed, see “Reprogramming
a single HomeLink® button” (P.2-90).
