Garage door opener (if equipped)
The HomeLinkt Universal Transceiver replaces up to three remote controls (hand-held transmitters) that oper- ate devices such as garage door openers, motorized gates, or home lighting. The transceiver triggers these devices at the push of a button. The transceiver operates off your vehicle’s battery and charging system; no bat- teries are needed. For additional information on HomeLinkt, call 1–800– 355–3515, or on the internet at www.homelink.com.
WARNING! A moving garage door can cause injury to people and pets in the path of the door. People or pets could be seriously or fatally injured. Only use this transceiver with a garage door opener that has a “stop and reverse” feature, as required by federal safety stan- dards. This includes most garage door opener models manufactured after 1982. Do not use a garage door opener without these safety features, as it could cause injury or death. Call toll-free 1–800–355–3515 or, on the internet at www.homelink.com for safety information and assistance.
Programming The Universal Transceiver
For best results, install a new battery in the hand-held transmitter before programming. If your garage door opener (located in the garage) is equipped with an antenna, make sure that the antenna is hanging straight down. 1. Turn off the engine.
WARNING! Vehicle exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a danger- ous gas. Do not run the vehicle’s engine while programming the transceiver. Exhaust gas can cause serious injury or death.

WARNING! Your motorized door or gate will open and close while you are programming the universal trans- ceiver. Do not program the transceiver if people or pets are in the path of the door or gate. A moving door or gate can cause serious injury or death to people and pets or damage to objects.
2. Turn the ignition to the ON/RUN position. 3. Erase the factory test codes by pressing the two outside buttons. Release the buttons when the light in the overhead console display begins to flash (about 20 sec- onds).
NOTE: Step 3 does not have to be followed to program additional hand-held transmitters.
4. Choose one of the three buttons to program. Place the hand-held controller 1-3 in (25-76 mm) from the universal transceiver while keeping its indicator light in view.
5. Using both hands, press the hand-held transmitter button and the desired universal transceiver button. Do not release the buttons until Step 6 has been completed.
NOTE: Some gate operators and garage door openers may require you to replace this Programming Step 5 with procedures noted in the “Gate Operator/Canadian Pro- gramming” section. 6. The indicator light in the universal transceiver will begin to flash, first slowly and then rapidly. Release both buttons after the indicator light changes from slow to rapid flash. If, after 90 seconds, the indicator does not flash rapidly or goes out, return to Step 1 and repeat the procedure. 7. Press and hold the just programmed universal trans- ceiver button and observe the indicator light. If the indicator stays on constantly, programming is complete and your device should activate when the universal transceiver button is pressed and released.
NOTE: To program the remaining two universal trans- ceiver buttons, begin with Programming Step 4. Do not repeat Steps 1, 2, and 3.
If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns to a constant light, continue with Program- ming Steps 8-10 to complete programming of a rolling code equipped device (most commonly a garage door opener). 8. At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in the garage, locate the “learn” or “smart” button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit. 9. Firmly press and release the “learn” or “smart” but- ton. (The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer.)
NOTE: There are 30 seconds in which to initiate Step 10. 10. Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for two seconds and release the programmed universal trans- ceiver button. Repeat the “press/hold/release” sequence a second time, and, depending on the brand of the garage

door opener (or other rolling code equipped device), repeat this sequence a third time to complete the pro- gramming. The universal transceiver should now activate your roll- ing code equipped device. If you do not successfully program the universal trans- ceiver to learn the signal of your hand-held transmitter, call toll free for customer assistance at 1-800-355-3515, or on the internet at www.homelink.com.
Gate Operator/Canadian Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter sig- nals to “time-out” (or quit) after several seconds of transmission. This may not be long enough for the universal transceiver to pick up the signal during pro- gramming. Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are designed to “time-out” in the same manner.
If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties programming a gate operator by using the programming procedures (regardless of where you live), replace Pro- gramming Step 5 with the following:
NOTE: If programming a garage door opener or gate operator, it is advised to unplug the device during the “cycling” process to prevent possible overheating. 5. Continue to press and hold the universal transceiver button while you press and release every two seconds (“cycle”) your hand-held transmitter until the frequency signal has successfully been accepted by the universal transmitter. (The indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly.) Proceed with Programming Step 6 to complete.

Using the Universal Transceiver
To operate the universal transceiver, simply press and release the programmed button. Activation will now occur for the programmed device (i.e., garage door opener, gate operator, security system, entry door lock, home/office lighting, etc.) For convenience, the hand- held transmitter of the device may also be used at any time.
Erasing Universal Transceiver Buttons
To erase programming from the three buttons (individual buttons cannot be erased but can be reprogrammed – see below), follow this procedure: • Press and hold the two outer universal transceiver
buttons until the indicator light begins to flash after 20 seconds. Release both buttons. Do not hold for longer than 30 seconds. The universal transceiver is now in
the program (or learning) mode and can be pro- grammed at any time beginning with Programming Step 4.
Reprogramming a Single Button
To program a device using a universal transceiver button previously programmed, follow these steps: 1. Press and hold the desired universal transceiver but- ton. DO NOT release the button. 2. The indicator light will begin to flash after 20 seconds. Without releasing the universal transceiver button, pro- ceed with Programming Step 4.
Security
If you sell your vehicle, be sure to erase the frequencies. To erase all of the previously programmed frequencies, hold down both outside buttons until the light begins to flash.
