Home Link® Universal Transceiver (option)
Introduction
HomeLink1 is an optional system that can be programmed to learn the codes of three different remote controlled-devices
(for example, a garage door opener, remote lighting, entry gate). HomeLink's sun visor-mounted transceiver, powered by
your car's electrical system, may then be used in place of your hand -held remote controls. The HomeLink transceiver
consists of three programmable buttons and an indicator light.
1 HomeLink is a registered trademark of Johnson Controls, Intl.
© JCI, All rights reserved
NOTE
For your security, the HomeLink Universal Transceiver is designed to not function if you lock your vehicle from the
outside.
Retain the original transmitter(s) for future programming procedures (for example, if you purchase a new vehicle).
For your own security, erase all programmed buttons on the HomeLink Universal Transceiver when you sell your
vehicle.
Metallic sun protection films should not be used on any windows in a vehicle equipped with HomeLink Universal
Transceiver. This could interfere with the transceivers function.
Operating the HomeLink Universal Transceiver
Once programmed, the HomeLink Universal Transceiver can be used in place of your handheld transmitters.
NOTE
The HomeLink universal transceiver will function for 30 minutes after the driver's door has been opened without
switching on the vehicle's ignition.
Press the programmed HomeLink button to activate the garage door, driveway gate, security lightning, home security
system etc.
Your original hand -held transmitters may, of course, be used at any time.

WARNING
If you use HomeLink to open a garage door or gate, be sure no one is near the gate or door while it is in motion.
Do not use the HomeLink Universal Transceiver with any garage door opener that lacks safety "stop" and "reverse"
features as required by federal safety standards. (This includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April
1, 1982). A garage door opener that cannot "detect" an object, signalling the door to "stop" and "reverse" does not meet
current federal safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these features increases the risk of serious injury or
death. For more information on this matter, call toll-free 1-800-355-3515. (Internet: www.HomeLink.com
).
Programming the transceiver for the first time (U.S. residents)
1. For first time training, press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons, releasing only when the HomeLink indicator
light begins to flash after 20 seconds. (Do not perform this step when training the additional HomeLink buttons.)
2. Position the hand -held transmitter 1-3 inches away from the HomeLink surface
81 02 Instruments and controls
Home Link® Universal Transceiver (option)
(located on your sun visor), keeping the HomeLink indicator light in view.
3. Using both hands, simultaneously press and hold both the desired HomeLink button and hand held transmitter button.
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.)
NOTE
Some garage door openers may require you to replace step 3 with the "cycling" procedure noted in the "Programming
the transceiver for the first time (Canadian residents)" section.
4. Press and hold the trained HomeLink button and observe the indicator light.
If the indicator light is solid/continuous, training is complete and your device should activate when the HomeLink
button is pressed and released.
If the indicator light blinks rapidly for 2 seconds and then turns a solid/continuous light, proceed with the following
training instructions for a rolling code device. A second person may make the following steps quicker and easier. Please
use a ladder or other device. Do not stand on your vehicle to perform the next steps.
5. At the garage door opener receiver (motorhead unit) in the garage, locate the "learn" or "smart" button (usually near
where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the unit). If there is difficulty locating the training button, reference the
garage door opener's manual or contact us toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.com
).
6. Press and release the "learn" or "smart" button (the name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer)
NOTE
Once the button is pressed, there are 30 seconds in which to initiate the next step.
7. Return to the vehicle and firmly press and hold the trained HomeLink button for two seconds and release. Repeat the
"press/hold/release" sequence up to 3 times to complete the training process.
To train additional HomeLink buttons, begin with step two.

Programming the transceiver for the first time (Canadian residents)
1. For first time training, press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons releasing only when the HomeLink indicator
light begins to flash after 20 seconds. (Do not perform this step when training the additional HomeLink buttons.)
2. Position the hand -held transmitter 1-3 inches (2.5-7.5 cm) away from the HomeLink surface (located on your) keeping
the HomeLink indicator light in view.
3. Using both hands, simultaneously press and hold both the desired HomeLink button and hand held transmitter button.
During programming, your handheld transmitter may automatically stop transmitting. Continue to press and hold the
desired HomeLink button while you press and re-press ("cycle") your handheld transmitter every two seconds until the
frequency signal has been learned. The 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.)

To train additional HomeLink buttons, begin with step two.
Rolling Code Programming
Rolling code garage door openers that are "code-protected" and manufactured after 1996 may be determined by the-
following:
Reference the garage door opener owner's manual for verification.
The handheld transmitter appears to program the HomeLink Universal Transceiver but does not activate the garage

door.
Press and hold the trained HomeLink button. The garage door opener has the rolling code feature if the indicator light
flashes rapidly and then turns solid after 2 seconds.
To train a garage door with the rolling code feature, follow these instructions (the aid of a second person may make the
training quicker and easier):
1. Locate the training button on the garage door opener motor head unit. Exact location and color of the button may vary
by garage door opener brand. If there is difficulty locating the training button, reference the garage door opener owner's
manual or please visit our Web site at www.homelink.com
.
2. Press the training button on the garage door opener motor head unit (which activates the "training light").
NOTE
Following step 2, there are 30 seconds in which to initiate step 3.
3. Firmly press and release the programmed HomeLink® button. Press and release the HomeLink button a second time to
complete the training process. (Some garage door openers may require
83 02 Instruments and controls
Home Link® Universal Transceiver (option)
you to do this procedure a third time to complete the training.)
The garage door opener should now recognize the HomeLink Wireless Control System. The remaining two buttons may
now be trained if this has not previously been done. Refer to the Programming portion of this text. The HomeLink
Wireless Control System (once programmed) or the original handheld transmitter may be used to activate the garage door.
In the event that there are still difficulties in programming the HomeLink Wireless Control System, please visit our Web
site, www.homelink.com
.
Reprogramming a Single HomeLink Button
To program a device to HomeLink using a HomeLink button previously trained, follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink button. Do NOT release until step 4 has been completed.
2. When the indicator light begins to flash slowly (after 20 seconds), position the handheld transmitter 1 to 3 inches away
from the HomeLink surface.
3. Press and hold the handheld transmitter button. The HomeLink indicator light will flash, first slowly and then rapidly.
4. When the indicator light begins to flash rapidly, release both buttons.
The previous device has now been erased and the new device can be activated by pushing the HomeLink button that has
just been programmed. This procedure will not affect any other programmed HomeLink.
Erasing Channels
Individual buttons cannot be erased. However, to erase all three programmed buttons:
1. Press and hold the two outside buttons until the indicator light begins to flash (after 20 seconds).
2. Release both buttons.
The HomeLink® Wireless Control System is now in the training (learning) mode and can be programmed at any time
