HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (if so equipped)
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 your vehicle’s battery. No separate batteries are required. If the vehicle’s battery is discharged or is disconnected, HomeLink® will retain all programming.
Once HomeLink Universal Transceiver is programmed, retain the original transmitter for future programming procedures (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.
- Do not use 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 which 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 programming procedure, your garage door or security gate may open or close. Make sure that people and objects are clear of the garage door, gate, etc. that you are programming.
- Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off while programming HomeLink® Universal Transceiver.
Programming HomeLink®
To program your HomeLink® Transceiver to operate a garage door, gate, or entry
door opener, home or office lighting, you need to be at the same location as the
device. Note:
Garage door openers (manufactured after 1996) have “rolling code protection”. To
program a garage door opener equipped with “rolling code protection”; you will need
to use a ladder to get up to the garage door opener motor to be able to access the
“smart or learn” program button.
1. To begin, push and hold the 2 outer HomeLink® buttons (to clear the memory) until the indicator light A blinks (after 20 seconds). Release both buttons.
2. Position the end of the hand-held transmitter 1-3 inches away from the HomeLink® surface.
3. Using both hands, simultaneously push and hold both the HomeLink® button you want to program and the hand-held transmitter button.
DO NOT release the buttons until step 4 has been completed.
4. Hold down both buttons until the indicator light on HomeLink® flashes, changing from a “slow blink” to a “rapid blink”. This could take up to 90 seconds. When the indicator light blinks rapidly, both buttons may be released. The rapidly flashing light indicates successful programming. To activate the garage door or other programmed device, push and hold the programmed HomeLink® button - releasing when the device begins to activate.
5. If the indicator light on HomeLink® blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns solid, HomeLink® has picked up a “rolling code” garage door opener signal. You will need to proceed with the next steps to train HomeLink®, completing the programming may require a ladder and another person for convenience.
6. Push and release the program button located on the garage door opener’s motor to activate the “training mode”. This button is usually located near the antenna wire that hangs down from the motor. If the wire originates from under a light lens, you will need to remove the lens to access the training button.
NOTE:
Once you have pushed and released the training button on the garage door opener’s
motor and the “training light” is lit, you have 30 seconds in which to perform step
7. For convenience, use the help of a second person to assist when performing this
step.
7. Quickly (within 30 seconds of pushing and releasing the garage door opener training button) and firmly push and release the HomeLink® button you’ve just programmed.
Push and release the HomeLink® button up to three times to complete the training.
8. Your HomeLink® button should now be programmed. To program the remaining HomeLink® buttons for additional door or gate openers, follow steps 2 through 8 only.
NOTE:
Do not repeat step 1 unless you want to “clear” all previously programmed HomeLink®
buttons.
If you have any questions or are having difficulty programming your HomeLink® buttons, please refer to the HomeLink® web site at: www.
homelink.com or call 1-800-355-3515.
Programming HomeLink® for Canadian customers
Prior to 1992, D.O.C. regulations required hand-held transmitters to stop transmitting after 2 seconds. To program your hand-held transmitter to HomeLink®, continue to push and hold the HomeLink® button (note steps 2 through 4 under “Programming HomeLink®”) while you push and re-push (“cycle”) your hand-held transmitter every 2 seconds until the indicator light flashes rapidly (indicating successful programming).
NOTE:
If programming a garage door opener, etc., it is advised to unplug the device during
the “cycling” process to prevent possible damage to the garage door opener components.
Operating the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver
HomeLink Universal Transceiver (once programmed) may now be used to activate the garage door, etc. To operate, simply push the appropriate programmed HomeLink® Universal Transceiver button. The red indicator light will illuminate while the signal is being transmitted.
Programming trouble-diagnosis
If HomeLink® does not quickly learn the handheld transmitter information:
- replace the hand-held transmitter batteries with new batteries.
- position the hand-held transmitter with its battery area facing away from the HomeLink® surface.
- push and hold both the HomeLink® and hand-held transmitter buttons without interruption.
- position the hand-held transmitter 2 to 5 in (50 to 127 mm) away from the HomeLink® surface. Hold the transmitter in that position for up to 15 seconds. If HomeLink® is not programmed within that time, try holding the transmitter in another position - keeping the indicator light in view at all times.
If you continue to have programming difficulties, please contact the NISSAN Consumer Affairs Department. The phone numbers are located in the Foreword of this Owner’s Manual.
Clearing the programmed information
Individual buttons cannot be cleared, however to clear all programming, push and hold the two outside buttons and release when the indicator light begins to flash (in approximately 20 seconds).
Reprogramming a single HomeLink® button
To reprogram a HomeLink® Universal Transceiver button, complete the following.
1. Push and hold the desired HomeLink® button. Do not release the button until step 4 has been completed.
2. When the indicator light begins to flash slowly (after 20 seconds), position the hand-held transmitter 2 to 5 in (50 to 127 mm) away from the HomeLink® surface.
3. Push and hold the hand-held transmitter button.
4. The HomeLink® indicator light will flash, first slowly and then rapidly. When the indicator light begins to flash rapidly, release both buttons.
The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver button has now been reprogrammed. The new device can be activated by pushing the HomeLink® button that was just programmed. This procedure will not affect any other programmed HomeLink® buttons.
If your vehicle is stolen
If your vehicle is stolen, you should change the codes of any non-rolling code device that has been programmed into HomeLink®. Consult the Owner’s Manual of each device or call the manufacturer or dealer of those devices for additional information.
When your vehicle is recovered, you will need to reprogram the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver with your new transmitter information.
