The HomeLink
Universal Transceiver pro-
vides a convenient way to consolidate the
functions of up to three individual hand-held
transmitters into one built-in device.
The HomeLinkUniversal Transceiver power
will automatically turn off 30 minutes after the
ignition switch has been turned to the off
position.
HomeLink
Universal Transceiver:
IWill operate most Radio Frequency (RF)
devices such as garage doors, gates, home
and office lighting, entry door locks and
security systems.
IIs 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
(i.e., new vehicle purchases). Upon sale of
the vehicle, the programmed HomeLink
Universal Transceiver buttons should be
erased for security purposes. For addi-
tional information, refer to ªProgramming
HomeLink
º later in this section.
WARNING
IDo 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.
IDuring programming, your garage
door or gate may open or close. Make
sure that people and objects are clear
of the garage door or gate that you
are programming.
IYour vehicle's engine should be
turned off while programming theHomeLink
Universal Transceiver.
PROGRAMMING HomeLinkTo program your HomeLink Transceiver to
operate 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 ªrolling code protectionº. To pro-
gram a garage door opener equipped with
ªrolling code protectionº; you will need to use a
ladder to get up to the garage door opener
motor to be able to access the ªsmart or learnº
program button.

1. To begin, press and hold the 2 outer
HomeLink
buttons (to clear the memory)
until the indicator light blinks slowly (after
20 seconds). Release both buttons.
2. Position the end of the hand-held transmit-
ter 1-3 inches away from the HomeLink
surface.3. Using both hands, simultaneously press
and hold both the HomeLink
button you
want to program and the hand-held trans-
mitter button.
DO NOT release the buttons until step 4
has been completed.
4. Hold down both buttons until the indicator
light on the HomeLink
flashes, changing
from a ªslow blinkº to a ªrapidly flashing
blinkº. This could take up to 90 seconds.
When the indicator light flashes rapidly,
both buttons may be released. The rapidly
flashing light indicates successful program-
ming. To activate the garage door or other
programmed device, press and hold theprogrammed HomeLink
button - releasing
when the device begins to activate.
5. If the indicator light on the HomeLink
blinks rapidly for two seconds and then
turns solid, HomeLink
has picked up a
ªrolling codeº garage door opener signal.
You will need to proceed with the next steps
to train the HomeLinkto complete the
programming which may require a ladder
and another person for convenience.
6. Press and release the ªsmartº or ªlearnº
program button located on the garage door
opener's motor to activate the ªtraining
modeº. This button is usually located near
the antenna wire that hangs down from the
motor. If the wire originates from under a
light lens, you will need to remove the lens
to access the program button.
NOTE:
Once you have pressed and released the
program button on the garage door open-
er's motor and the ªtraining lightº is lit, you
have 30 seconds in which to perform step
7. Use the help of a second person for
convenience to assist when performing
this step.
7. Quickly within 30 seconds of pressing and
releasing the garage door opener program

button, firmly press and release the
HomeLink
button you've just pro-
grammed. Press and release the
HomeLinkbutton up to three times to
complete the training.
8. Your HomeLink
button should now be
programmed. (To program the remaining
HomeLink
buttons for additional door or
gate openers, follow steps 2-8 only.
NOTE:
Do not repeat step one unless you want to
ªclearº all previously programmed
HomeLinkbuttons).
If you have any questions or are having diffi-
culty programming your HomeLink
buttons,
please refer to the HomeLink
web site at:
www.homelink.com or call 1-800-662-6200.
PROGRAMMING HomeLink
FOR
CANADIAN CUSTOMERS
Prior to 1992, D.O.C. regulations required
hand-held transmitters to stop transmitting af-
ter 2 seconds. To program your hand-held
transmitter to HomeLink
, continue to press
and hold the HomeLinkbutton (note steps 2
through 4 under ªProgramming HomeLink
º)
while you press and re-press (ªcycleº) your
hand-held transmitter every 2 seconds untilthe indicator light flashes rapidly (indicating
successful programming).
NOTE:
If programming a garage door opener, etc.,
it is advised to unplug the device during
the ªcyclingº process to prevent possible
damage to the garage door opener compo-
nents.
OPERATING THE HomeLinkUNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVERThe HomeLink
Universal Transceiver (once
programmed) may now be used to activate the
garage door, etc. To operate, simply press the
appropriate programmed HomeLink
Univer-
sal Transceiver button. The red indicator light
will illuminate while the signal is being trans-
mitted.
PROGRAMMING TROUBLE
DIAGNOSISIf the HomeLink
does not quickly learn the
hand-held transmitter information:
Ireplace the hand-held transmitter batteries
with new batteries.
Iposition the hand-held transmitter with its
battery area facing away from the
HomeLink
surface.Ipress and hold both the HomeLink
and
hand-held transmitter buttons without inter-
ruption.
Iposition the hand-held transmitter 2 to 5
inches (50 to 127 mm) away from the
HomeLink
surface. Hold the transmitter in
that position for up to 15 seconds. If
HomeLinkis not programmed within that
time, try holding the transmitter in another
position - keeping the indicator light in view
at all times.
If you continue to have programming difficul-
ties, please contact the NISSAN Consumer
Affairs Department. The phone numbers are
located in the Foreword of this Owner's
Manual.
CLEARING THE PROGRAMMED
INFORMATIONIndividual buttons cannot be cleared, however
to clear all programming, press and hold the
two outside buttons and release when the
