HomeLink® Universal Transceiver
Suggested Owner’s Manual Text
March 2002
HomeLink
The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver in your vehicle provides a convenient way to replace up to three handheld transmitters with a single built-in component. This innovative feature will learn the radio frequency
codes of most current transmitters used to activate devices such as garage doors, entry door locks, estate
gates, security systems, and home or office lighting. For additional information on HomeLink and/or
HomeLink
www.homelink.jci.com.
Precautions
gate, make sure that people and objects are out of the way to prevent potential harm or
damage.
Do not use the HomeLink Universal Transceiver with any garage door opener that
lacks the safety stop and reverse feature as required by federal safety standards. (This
includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982.) A garage
door opener which cannot detect an object, signaling the door to stop and reverse, does
not meet current federal safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these
features increases risk of serious injury or death. For more information, call
1-800-355-3515 or on the internet at www.homelink.jci.com.
Retain the original transmitter for future programming procedures (i.e., new vehicle
purchase). It is also suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle, the programmed
HomeLink Universal Transceiver buttons be erased for security purposes (follow step
1 in the “Programming” portion of this text).

When programming the HomeLink Universal Transceiver to a garage door opener or entry
Programming
Note: For best results, replace the battery in the hand-held transmitter with a new battery before programming.
If your garage door opener receiver (located in the garage) is equipped with an antenna, make sure the
antenna is completely uncoiled and hangs straight down.
1. Press and hold the two outside buttons - releasing only when the indicator light begins to
flash after 20 seconds. (This procedure erases the factory set default codes and does not have
to be followed to program additional hand-held transmitters.)
2. Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter of the device you wish to train approximately
one to three inches away from the HomeLink surface - keeping the indicator light in view.
(For placement questions, please contact HomeLink at 1-800-355-3515 or on the internet at
www.homelink.jci.com.)
3. Using both hands, simultaneously push the hand-held transmitter button and the desired
HomeLink button. Do not release the buttons until step 4 has been completed.
Note: Some entry gates and garage door openers may require you to replace this programming step (#3)
with the procedures noted in the “Canadian Programming / Gate Programming” section.
4. The HomeLink indicator light will flash, first slowly and then rapidly. When
the indicator light flashes rapidly, release both buttons. (The rapid flashing light
indicates successful programming of the new frequency signal.)
If, after 20 seconds, the indicator light does not flash rapidly, release both the HomeLink and the hand-held
transmitter buttons and repeat steps two through four. However, position the hand-held transmitter at a different
length and/or angle until the indicator light begins to flash rapidly. Release both buttons after the indicator light
flashes rapidly.
Refer to “Rolling Code Programming” and/or “Canadian Programming/Gate Programming” for additional
procedures if necessary.
To activate the garage door or other programmed device upon successfully completing the steps above, press and
hold the HomeLink button - releasing when the device begins to activate.
To program the remaining two buttons, follow steps 2 through 4.
If you do not successfully program the HomeLink Universal Transceiver to learn the signal of the hand-held
transmitter, refer to “Rolling Code Programming” within this text or call toll-free for customer assistance at 1-800-
355-3515 or on the internet at www.homelink.jci.com.
