Controls and features with a single built-in device. This feature will learn the radio frequency codes of most current transmitters to operate garage doors, entry gates, security systems, entry door locks, and home or office lighting. When programming your HomeLink௡ Universal Transceiver, to a garage door or gate be 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 safety stop and reverse features as required by U.S. federal safety standards (this includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door which cannot detect an object, signaling the door to stop and reverse, does not meet current U.S. federal safety standards. For more information on this matter, call toll-free: 1-800-355-3515 or on the Internet at HomeLink.jci.com. Programming 1. Prepare for programming the HomeLink௡ Universal Transceiver by erasing the three factory default REC DEL PLAY codes by holding down the two outside buttons until the red light begins to flash after 20 seconds. Release both buttons. 2. Hold the end of your hand-held transmitter 5-14 cm (2-5 inches) away from the HomeLink௡ Universal Transceiver surface (located on your visor) while keeping the red light in view. 3. Using both hands simultaneously press and hold the hand-held transmitter button and the desired REC DEL PLAY HomeLink௡ button. Do not release the buttons until step 4 has been completed. Some entry gates and garage door openers may require you to replace step 3 with the procedure in the "Canadian Programing" section. 4. The red light will flash slowly and then rapidly. Release both buttons when the red light flashes rapidly. 5. Follow steps 2 through 4 to program the remaining two buttons. 94
