HOMELINK® UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER (IF SO EQUIPPED) The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver provides 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 (RF) devices such as garage doors, gates, home and office lighting, entry door locks and security systems. • Is powered by the vehicle's 12-volt battery. No separate batteries are required. If the vehicle's 12-volt battery is discharged or is disconnected, HomeLink® will retain all programming. Once the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver is programmed, retain the original transmitter for future programming procedures (for example, new vehicle purchases). Upon sale of the vehicle, the programmed HomeLink® Universal Transceiver buttons should be erased for security purposes. For additional information, see "Programming HomeLink®" later in this section. PROGRAMMING HOMELINK® WARNING • 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. (These standards became effective for opener models manufactured after April 1, 1982.) A garage door opener that cannot detect an object in the path of a closing garage door and then automatically 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. • During the programming procedure, your garage door or security gate will open or 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. • Place the power switch in the ACC or ON position while programming the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver. 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 ACC position 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 inches (2-8 cm) away from the HomeLink® surface, keeping the HomeLink® 1 in view. indicator light ᭺ 2-58 Instruments and controls
