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) de-vices such as garage doors, gates, home and
office lighting, entry door locks and security
systems.
Is powered by the vehicle’s 12-volt battery. No separate batteries are required. If the vehicle’s
12-volt battery is discharged or is discon-
nected, HomeLink® will retain all programming.
Once the HomeLink® Universal Trans-
ceiver is programmed, retain the original
transmitter for future programming proce-
dures (for example, new vehicle pur-
chases) . Upon sale of the vehicle, the pro-
grammed HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver buttons should be erased for
security purposes. For additional informa-
tion, see “Programming HomeLink®” later
in this section.
WARNING
Do not use the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and re-
verse features as required by federal
safety standards. (These standards be-
came effective for opener models
manufactured after April 1, 1982.) A
garage door opener that cannot detect
an object in the path of a closing ga-
rage door and then automatically stop
and reverse, does not meet current
federal safety standards. Using a ga-
rage door opener without these fea-
tures increases the risk of serious in-
jury 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
or objects are clear of the garage door,
gate, etc. that you are programming.
Place the power switch in the ACC or ON position while programming the
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver.
PROGRAMMING HOMELINK®
If you have any questions or are having difficulty
programming your HomeLink® buttons, refer to
the HomeLink® web site at: www.homelink.com
or call 1-800-355-3515.
NOTE:
Place the ignition switch in the ACC posi-
tion when programming HomeLink®. 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
transmission of the radio-frequency.
1. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter
1–3 inches (2–8 cm) away from the
HomeLink® surface, keeping the HomeLink®
indicator light
1in view.

2. Using both hands, simultaneously press andhold the desired HomeLink® button and
handheld transmitter button. DO NOT release
until the HomeLink® indicator light
1flashes
slowly and then rapidly. When the indicator
light flashes rapidly, both buttons may be re-
leased. (The rapid flashing indicates success-
ful programming.)
NOTE:
Some devices may require you to re-
place Step 2 with the cycling procedure
noted in the “Programing HomeLink®
for Canadian customers and gate open-
ers” section. 3. Press and hold the programmed HomeLink®
button and observe the indicator light.
If the indicator light
1is solid/
continuous, programming is complete
and your device should activate when the
HomeLink® button is pressed and released.
If the indicator light
1blinks rapidly for
two seconds and then turns to a solid/
continuous light, continue with Steps
4-6 for a rolling code device. A second per-
son may make the following steps easier.
Please 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 manufacturer but it is
usually located near where the hanging an-
tenna wire is attached to the unit) . If there is
difficulty locating the button, reference the
garage door opener’s manual.
5. Press and release the “learn” or “smart” button.
6. Return to the vehicle and firmly press and hold the trained HomeLink® button for two sec-
onds and release. Repeat the “press/hold/
release” sequence up to 3 times to complete
the training process. HomeLink® should now
activate your rolling code equipped device.
7. If you have any questions or are having diffi- culty programming your HomeLink® buttons,
refer to the HomeLink® web site at:
www.homelink.com or call 1-800-355-3515.
PROGRAMMING HOMELINK® FOR
CANADIAN CUSTOMERS AND
GATE OPENERS
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmit-
ter signals to “time-out” (or quit) after several
seconds of transmission – which may not be long
Instruments and controls2-59

enough for HomeLink® to pick up the signal
during training. Similar to this Canadian law,
some U.S. gate operators are designed to “tim-
eout” in the same manner.
If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties
training a gate operatororgarage door opener
by using the “Training” procedures, replace “Pro-
gramming HomeLink®” Step 2with the follow-
ing:
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. See “Programing HomeLink®” step 1 earlier in this section.
2. Using both hands, simultaneously press and hold the desired HomeLink® button and the
hand-held transmitter button. During training,
your hand-held transmitter may automatically
stop transmitting. Continue to press and hold
the desired HomeLink® button while you
press and re-press (“cycle”) your hand-held
transmitter every two seconds until the fre-
quency signal has been learned. The
HomeLink® indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly after several seconds upon
successful training. DO NOT release until the
HomeLink® indicator light flashes slowly and
then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes
rapidly, both buttons may be released. The
rapid flashing indicates successful training.
Proceed with “Programming HomeLink®” step 3
to complete.
If the device was unplugged during the program-
ming procedure, remember to plug it 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 pro-
grammed device. To operate, simply press and
release the appropriate programmed
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver button. The
amber indicator light will illuminate while the sig-
nal is being transmitted.
For convenience, the hand-held transmitter of the
device may also be used at any time.
PROGRAMMING TROUBLE-
DIAGNOSIS
If HomeLink® does not quickly learn the hand-
held transmitter information, perform the follow-
ing steps.
Replace the hand-held transmitter batteries with new batteries.
Position the hand-held transmitter with its bat- tery area facing away from the HomeLink® sur-
face.
Push and hold both the HomeLink® and hand- held transmitter buttons without interruption.
