HomeLink® Universal Transceiver

Hand-held transmitter
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver
HomeLink® is an advanced system that can be programmed to learn the c\
odes of three different remote
controlled-devices (e.g., garage door openers, remote lighting, entry d\
oor lock). HomeLink®'s sun visor-
mounted transceiver, powered by your vehicle's electrical system, may th\
en 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 vehicle from the outside.
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 ou\
tside buttons (buttons 1 and 3 in
the illustration) on the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver for about 2\
0 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 place\
ment questions, contact
HomeLink® toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Internet:
www.HomeLink.com).
4. Using two hands, push and hold both your hand-held transmitter's butt\
on and the transceiver button
you wish to program. The indicator light will flash first slowly, then r\
apidly. Rapid flashing tells you the
HomeLink® button has been successfully programmed. Release both butto\
ns.
