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 your vehicle’s battery. No
separate batteries are required. If the
vehicle’s battery is discharged or is disconnected,
HomeLink® will retain all programming.
When the 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, refer to “Programming HomeLink®” later in this section.
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
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 the
programming procedure
your garage door or security gate
will open and 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.
• Your
vehicle’s engine should be
turned off while programming the
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver.
Do not breathe exhaust gases; they contain colorless and odorless carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is dangerous. It can cause unconsciousness or death.
