HOMELINK® UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER (if so equipped)
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. HomeLink® Universal Transceiver: • Will operate most radio frequency de- vices such as garage doors, gates, home and office lighting, entry door locks and security systems.
• Is powered by your vehicle's battery. No separate batteries are required. If the vehicle's battery is discharged or is dis- connected, HomeLink® will retain all programming.
When the HomeLink® Universal Trans- ceiver is programmed, retain the original transmitter for future programming pro- cedures (Example: new vehicle pur- chases). Upon sale of the vehicle, the programmed HomeLink® Universal Transceiver buttons should be erased for security purposes. For additional infor- mation, see “Programming HomeLink®” (P. 2-76).
WARNING •
Your vehicle's engine should be turned off while programming the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver. For additional information, see “Push- button ignition switch” (P. 5-13). Do not breathe exhaust gases; they con- tain colorless and odorless carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is dan- gerous. It can cause unconscious- ness or death.
•Do not use the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver with any garage door opener that lacks safety stop and re- verse features as required by federal safety standards. (These standards became effective for opener models manufactured after April 1, 1982.) A garage door opener which cannot detect an object in the path of a clos- ing garage door and then automati- cally stop and reverse does not meet current federal safety standards. Us- ing a garage door opener without these features increases the risk of serious injury or death.
•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.
PROGRAMMING HOMELINK® If you have any questions or are having difficulty programming your HomeLink® buttons, refer to the HomeLink® web site at: www.homelink.com or call 1-800-355-3515.
NOTE: Place the ignition switch in the ON or ACC position (without starting the engine) when programming HomeLink®. It is also recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLink® for quicker programming and accurate transmission of the radio frequency.
1. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter 1–3 in (2–8 cm) away from the HomeLink® surface, keeping the HomeLink® indicator light O1 in view.
2. Using both hands, simultaneously press and hold the desired HomeLink® button and hand-held transmitter button. DO NOT release until the HomeLink® indica- tor light O1 flashes slowly and then rap- idly. When the indicator light flashes rap- idly, both buttons may be released. (The rapid flashing indicates successful programming.)
NOTE: Some devices may require you to replace Step 2 with the cycling procedure noted in “Programming HomeLink® for Canadian customers and gate openers” (P. 2-77). 3. Press and hold the programmed
HomeLink® button and observe the indi- cator light. • If the indicator light O1
is solid/
continuous, programming is com- plete and your device should activate when the HomeLink® button is pressed and released.
• If the indicator light O1 blinksrapidly for 2 seconds and then turns to a solid/continuous light, continue with Steps 4-6 for a rolling code de- vice. A second person may make the following steps easier. Use a ladder or other device. Do not stand on your ve- hicle to perform the next steps.
4. At the receiver located on the garage door opener motor in the garage, locate the “learn” or “smart” button (the name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer but it is usually located near where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the unit). If there is difficulty locating the button, reference the ga- rage door opener’s manual.
5. Press and release the “learn” or “smart” button.
NOTE: Once the button is pressed, you have approximately 30 seconds to initiate the next step. 6. Return to the vehicle and firmly press
and hold the trained HomeLink® button for 2 seconds and release. Repeat the “press/hold/release” sequence up to three times to complete the training process. HomeLink® should now acti- vate your rolling code equipped device.
7. If you have any questions or are having difficulty programming your HomeLink® buttons, refer to the HomeLink® web site at: www.homelink.com or call 1-800-355- 3515.
PROGRAMMING HOMELINK® FOR CANADIAN CUSTOMERS AND GATE OPENERS Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter signals to “time-out” (or quit) after several seconds of transmission – which may not be long enough for HomeLink® to pick up the signal during training. Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are designed to “tim- eout” in the same manner. If you live in Canada or you are having diffi- culties training a gate operator or garage door opener by using the “Training” proce- dures, replace “Programming HomeLink®” step 2 with the following:
NOTE: When programming a garage door opener, etc., unplug the device during the “cycling” process to prevent possible damage to the garage door opener components. 1. For additional information, see “Programming HomeLink®” step 1 (P. 2-76).
2. Using both hands, simultaneously press and hold the desired HomeLink® button and the hand-held transmitter button. During training, your hand-held trans- mitter may automatically stop transmit- ting. Continue to press and hold the de- sired HomeLink® button while you press and re-press (“cycle”) your hand-held transmitter every 2 seconds until the frequency signal has been learned. The HomeLink® indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly after several seconds upon successful training. DO NOT release until the HomeLink® indica- tor light flashes slowly and then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes rapidly, both buttons may be released. The rapid flashing indicates successful training. Proceed with “Programming HomeLink®” step 3 to complete. If the device was unplugged during the programming procedure, remember to plug it back in when programming is completed.
OPERATING THE HOMELINK® UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver, after it is programmed, can be used to activate the programmed device. To operate, sim-
ply press and release the appropriate pro- grammed HomeLink® Universal Trans- ceiver button. The amber indicator light will illuminate while the signal is being transmitted. For convenience, the hand-held transmit- ter of the device may also be used at any time. PROGRAMMING TROUBLE- DIAGNOSIS If the HomeLink® does not quickly learn the hand-held transmitter information: • Replace the hand-held transmitter batteries with new batteries. • Position the hand-held transmitter with its battery area facing away from the HomeLink® surface.
• Press and hold both the HomeLink® and hand-held transmitter buttons without interruption.
• Position the hand-held transmitter 1 - 3 inches (26 - 76 mm) away from the HomeLink® surface. Hold the transmitter in that position for up to 15 seconds. If HomeLink® is not programmed within that time, try holding the transmitter in another position – keeping the indicator light in view at all times.
If you have any questions or are having difficulty programming your HomeLink® buttons, refer to the HomeLink® web site at: www.homelink.com or call 1-800-355-3515. CLEARING THE PROGRAMMED INFORMATION The following procedure clears the pro- grammed information from both buttons. Individual buttons cannot be cleared. How- ever, individual buttons can be repro- grammed. For additional information, see “Reprogramming a single HomeLink® but- ton” (P. 2-79). To clear all programming: 1. Press and hold the two outer HomeLink® buttons until the indicator light begins to flash in approximately 10 seconds. Do not hold for longer than 20 seconds.
2. Release both buttons. HomeLink® is now in the programming mode and can be programmed at any time beginning with “Programming HomeLink®” - Step 1.
REPROGRAMMING A SINGLE HOMELINK® BUTTON To reprogram a HomeLink® Universal Transceiver button, complete the following: 1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink® button.
DO NOT release the button. 2. The indicator light will begin to flash af-
ter 20 seconds. Without releasing the HomeLink® button, proceed with “Pro- gramming HomeLink®” - Step 1.
For questions or comments, contact HomeLink® at: www.homelink.com or 1–800–355–3515 (except Mexico). The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver but- ton has now been reprogrammed. The new device can be activated by pressing the HomeLink® button that was just pro- grammed. This procedure will not affect any other programmed HomeLink® buttons.
