    Home Link® Universal Transceiver (option)

    Introduction

    HomeLink1 is a system that can be programmed to learn the codes of three different remote controlled-devices (for example, a garage door opener, remote lighting, entry gate). HomeLink's sun visor-mounted transceiver, powered by your car's electrical system, may then be used in place of your handheld remote controls. The HomeLink transceiver consists of three programmable buttons and an indicator light.

    1 HomeLink is a registered trademark of Johnson Controls, Intl.

    © JCI, All rights reserved

    note NOTE
  • For your security, the HomeLink Universal Transceiver is designed to not function if you lock your car from the outside.
  • Retain the original transmitter(s) for future programming procedures (for example, if you purchase a new vehicle).
  • For your own security, erase all programmed buttons on the HomeLink Universal Transceiver when you sell your vehicle.
  • Metallic sun protection films should not be used on any windows in a vehicle equipped with HomeLink Universal Transceiver. This could interfere with the transceivers function.

    • Operating the HomeLink Universal Transceiver
    Once programmed, the HomeLink Universal Transceiver can be used in place of your handheld transmitters.

    note NOTE
    The HomeLink universal transceiver will function for 30 minutes after the driver's door has been opened without switching on the vehicle's ignition.

    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.

    warning 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. (Internet: www.HomeLink.com).

    • Programming the transceiver for the first time (U.S. residents)
    1. For first time training, press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons, releasing only when the HomeLink indicator light begins to flash after 20 seconds. (Do not perform this step when training the additional HomeLink buttons.)

    2. Position the hand-held transmitter 1-3 inches away from the HomeLink surface

    77

    Home Link® Universal Transceiver (option)

    (located on your sun visor), keeping the HomeLink indicator light in view.

    3. Using both hands, simultaneously press and hold both the desired HomeLink button and hand held transmitter button. DO NOT release until the HomeLink indicator light flashes slowly and then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes rapidly, both buttons may be released. (The rapid flashing indicates successful training.)

    note NOTE
    Some garage door openers may require you to replace step 3 with the "cycling" procedure noted in the "Programming the transceiver for the first time (Canadian residents)" section.

    4. Press and hold the trained HomeLink button and observe the indicator light.

  • If the indicator light is solid/continuous, training is complete and your device should activate when the HomeLink button is pressed and released.
  • If the indicator light blinks rapidly for 2 seconds and then turns a solid/continuous light, proceed with the following training instructions for a rolling code device. A second person may make the following steps quicker and easier. Please use a ladder or other device. Do not stand on your vehicle to perform the next steps.

    5. At the garage door opener receiver (motorhead unit) in the garage, locate the "learn" or "smart" button (usually near where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the unit). If there is difficulty locating the training button, reference the garage door opener's manual or contact us toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.com).

    6. Press and release the "learn" or "smart" button (the name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer).

    note NOTE
    Once the button is pressed, there are 30 seconds in which to initiate the next step.

    7. Return to the vehicle and firmly press and hold the trained HomeLink button for two seconds and release. Repeat the "press/hold/release" sequence up to 3 times to complete the training process.

    To train additional HomeLink buttons, begin with step two.

    Programming the transceiver for the first time (Canadian residents)
    1. For first time training, press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons releasing only when the HomeLink indicator light begins to flash after 20 seconds. (Do not perform this step when training the additional HomeLink buttons.)

    2. Position the hand-held transmitter 1-3 inches (2.5-7.5 cm) away from the HomeLink surface (located on your) keeping the HomeLink indicator light in view.

    3. Using both hands, simultaneously press and hold both the desired HomeLink button and hand held transmitter button. During programming, your handheld transmitter may automatically stop transmitting. Continue to press and hold the desired HomeLink button while you press and re-press ("cycle") your handheld transmitter every two seconds until the frequency signal has been learned. The indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly after several seconds upon successful training. DO NOT release until the HomeLink indicator light flashes slowly and then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes rapidly, both buttons may be released. (The rapid flashing indicates successful training.)

The indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly after several seconds upon successful training. If necessary, follow steps 5-7 to complete the training for a rolling code device.

    To train additional HomeLink buttons, begin with step two.

    Rolling Code Programming
    Rolling code garage door openers that are "code-protected" and manufactured after 1996 may be determined by the-following:

  • Reference the garage door opener owner's manual for verification.
  • The handheld transmitter appears to program the HomeLink Universal Transceiver but does not activate the garage door.
  • Press and hold the trained HomeLink button. The garage door opener has the rolling code feature if the indicator light flashes rapidly and then turns solid after 2 seconds.

    To train a garage door with the rolling code feature, follow these instructions (the aid of a second person may make the training quicker and easier):

    1. Locate the training button on the garage door opener motor head unit. Exact location and color of the button may vary by garage door opener brand. If there is difficulty locating the training button, reference the garage door opener owner's manual or please visit our Web site at www.HomeLink.com.

    2. Press the training button on the garage door opener motor head unit (which activates the "training light").

    note NOTE
    Following step 2, there are 30 seconds in which to initiate step 3.

    3. Firmly press and release the programmed HomeLink® button. Press and release the HomeLink button a second time to complete the training process. (Some garage door openers may require

    79
    		 02 Instruments and controls

    Home Link® Universal Transceiver (option)

    you to do this procedure a third time to complete the training.)

    The garage door opener should now recognize the HomeLink Wireless Control System. The remaining two buttons may now be trained if this has not previously been done. Refer to the Programming portion of this text. The HomeLink Wireless Control System (once programmed) or the original handheld transmitter may be used to activate the garage door. In the event that there are still difficulties in programming the HomeLink Wireless Control System, please visit our Web site, www.HomeLink.com.

    Reprogramming a Single HomeLink Button
    To program a device to HomeLink using a HomeLink button previously trained, follow these steps:

    1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink button. Do NOT release until step 4 has been completed.

    2. When the indicator light begins to flash slowly (after 20 seconds), position the handheld transmitter 1 to 3 inches away from the HomeLink surface.

    3. Press and hold the handheld transmitter button. The HomeLink indicator light will flash, first slowly and then rapidly.

    4. When the indicator light begins to flash rapidly, release both buttons.

    The previous device has now been erased and the new device can be activated by pushing the HomeLink button that has just been programmed. This procedure will not affect any other programmed HomeLink.

    Erasing Channels
    Individual buttons cannot be erased. However, to erase all three programmed buttons:

    1. Press and hold the two outside buttons until the indicator light begins to flash (after 20 seconds).

    2. Release both buttons.

    The HomeLink® Wireless Control System is now in the training (learning) mode and can be programmed at any time following steps 2 through 4 in the Programming section.
