The Integrated HomeLinkTransmitter pro-
vides a convenient way to consolidate the
functions of up to three individual hand-held
transmitters into one built-in device.
THE INTEGRATED HomeLink
TRANSMITTER:
Iwill operate garage doors, gates, home/
office lighting systems and security sys-
tems by storing and transmitting the pro-
gramming information of your current hand-
held transmitters.
Iis built-in and powered by your vehicle's
battery and charging system. No separate
batteries are necessary.
Do not use this Integrated HomeLink
Transmitter 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 models manufactured
after April 1, 1982). A garage door
opener which cannot ªdetectº an object
in the path of a closing garage door and
then automatically stop and reverse the
door, does not meet current federal
safety standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features increases
the risk of serious injury or death.
PROGRAMMING THE HomeLink
TRANSMITTER
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 your transmitter.

The Integrated HomeLinkTransmitter
may not work with older garage door
openers that do not meet current Fed-
eral Consumer Safety Standards.
1. Test the Integrated HomeLinkTransmitter
by pressing any button. The red indicator
light should come on. If you have previously
programmed a button proceed to step 3.
2. Clear all channels on the Integrated
HomeLink
Transmitter by holding down
both outside buttons (#1 & #3) until the red
light begins to flash rapidly (approximately
20 seconds). Then release both buttons.
3. Select which of the three Integrated
HomeLink
Transmitter buttons you want to
program.
4. Hold your hand-held transmitter against the
bottom surface of the Integrated HomeLink
Transmitter so that you can still see the
red indicator light.
5. Press the desired button until the red indi-
cator light flashes slowly. Do not release
the button. Continue holding and press the
hand-held transmitter button through step
6.6. Hold down both buttons until the
red indicator light on the Integrated
HomeLink
Transmitter flashes rapidly
(This may take 1-90 seconds). Then re-
lease both buttons. The rapid flashing
means that the transmitter has been suc-
cessfully programmed to match your hand-
held transmitter. You can now use the
Integrated HomeLink
Transmitter instead
of your hand-held transmitter.
Note to Canadian users:
Prior to 1992, D.O.C. regulations required
many hand-held transmitters to stop transmit-
ting after one or two seconds, even though you
continue to hold down the button. If you think
you have one of these hand-held transmitters,
you should press and re-press the transmitter
button every 2 seconds without ever releasing
the integrated HomeLink
Transmitter button.
The indicator light on the Integrated HomeLink
Transmitter should blink rapidly indicating a
successful programming procedure. If it re-
turns to the slow blink of program mode,
continue to periodically reactivate your hand-
held transmitter until a successful program-
ming procedure is indicated by the rapidly
flashing indicator light.
OPERATING THE TRANSMITTER
To operate, simply press the appropriate but-
ton on the Integrated HomeLinkTransmitter.
The red indicator light illuminates while the
signal is being transmitted. The effective trans-
mission range of the Integrated HomeLink
Transmitter may differ from your hand-held
transmitter.
PROGRAMMING PROBLEM
DIAGNOSIS
Be sure to keep your original hand-held trans-
mitter for possible reprogramming if neces-
sary.
IMake sure batteries in the hand-held trans-
mitter are fully charged.
IHold your hand-held transmitter against the
bottom surface of the Integrated
HomeLink
Transmitter so that you can still
see the red indicator light.
IHold buttons for duration of the program-
ming without interruption.
IRotate your hand-held transmitter end-
over-end and program again. For best re-
sults, place the end opposite the battery
compartment against the Integrated
