Home Link® Universal Transceiver (option)
Introduction
HomeLink* is an advanced system that can be programmed to learn the codes of three different remote controlled-
devices (e.g., garage door openers, remote lighting, entry door lock). 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.
NOTE: For your security, the HomeLink Universal Transceiver is designed to not function if you lock your car from
the outside.
ProCarManuals.com
Page 53 of 182
Programming the transceiver
1. The ignition switch must be turned to the "accessory" position (II) before programming the HomeLink Universal
Transceiver.
2. Begin by erasing all 3 factory default channels. Hold down the two outside buttons (the left and right buttons in the
illustration) on the HomeLink Universal Transceiver for about 20 seconds, until HomeLink's indicator light begins to
flash. Then release the buttons.
3. Hold your hand -held transmitter (garage door opener, for example) 2 to 5 in. (5 to 12 cm) away from the HomeLink
surface, keeping the indicator light in view. For placement questions, contact HomeLink toll-free 1-800-355-3515
(Internet: http://www.HomeLink.com
).
4. Using two hands, push and hold both your hand -held transmitter's button and the transceiver button you wish to
program. The indicator light will flash first slowly, then rapidly. Rapid flashing indicates that the HomeLink button has
been successfully programmed. Release both buttons.
5. If you are programming a rolling code-equipped device (e.g., garage door opener or entry door lock), refer to
"Programming rolling codes" on the next page to complete the programming process.
6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to program the other two transceiver buttons. If, after several attempts, you are unable to
successfully train the HomeLink Universal Transceiver to learn your hand -held transmitter's signal, contact HomeLink
toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Internet: http://www.HomeLink.com
).

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.

Canadian residents:
During programming, your hand -held transmitter may automatically stop transmitting. To successfully train
HomeLink, continue to hold the HomeLink button. At the same time, repeatedly press and hold your hand -held
transmitter's button at two-second intervals until HomeLink has learned your transmitter's code. The HomeLink
indicator light will flash first slowly, and then rapidly to indicate that the button has been successfully programmed.
Determining if your garage door uses a rolling code
Determine, in one of the following ways, if your garage door uses a rolling code system and is manufactured after
1996:
Refer to the garage door opener owner's manual for verification.
ProCarManuals.com
Page 54 of 182
If your hand -held transmitter appears to program the HomeLink Universal Transceiver but the programmed button
does not activate the garage door, your garage door opener may have a rolling code.
Press the programmed HomeLink button. If the garage door opener has the rolling code feature, the HomeLink
indicator light flashes rapidly and then glows steadily after approximately 2 seconds.
To train a rolling code garage door opener, follow these instructions after programming the desired transceiver
button according to "Programming the transceiver." The help of a second person may make training easier.
1. Locate the training button on the garage door opener motor head unit. The location and color of the training button
may vary. If you encounter difficulty, refer to the garage door opener owner's manual or call toll-free 1-800-355-3515
(Internet: http://www.HomeLink.com
).
2. Press the "training" button on the garage door opener motor head unit until the "training" light comes on.
3. Press and release the programmed HomeLink button. Press and release the programmed HomeLink button a second
time to complete the training process.
4. Some garage door openers may require you to do this procedure a third time to complete the training.
5. The programmed button on your HomeLink Universal Transceiver should now operate your garage door opener.
The original handheld transmitter can also be used, as desired, to operate the garage door.
The remaining two HomeLink buttons can be programmed in the same way. In the event of any problems in
programming the HomeLink Universal Transceiver, call toll-free 1-800- 355-3515 (Internet:
http://www.HomeLink.com
).
Operating the HomeLink Universal Transceiver
Once programmed, the HomeLink Universal Transceiver can be used in place of your handheld transmitters.
To operate, the key must be turned to the "accessory" position (II) or the engine must be running. 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.
Erasing programmed buttons
Individual buttons cannot be erased, To erase all three programmed buttons:
1. Turn the ignition key to the "accessory" position (II).
2. Hold down the two outside buttons on the HomeLink Universal Transceiver for about 20 seconds, until HomeLink's
indicator light begins to flash.
3. Release both buttons.
