HomeLink

Universal Transceiver provides

a convenient way to consolidate the func-
tions 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 transmit-
ter 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 “Program-
ming HomeLink

” (P.2-53).

WARNING

Do not use HomeLink

Universal Trans-

ceiver 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 automati-
cally stop and reverse, does not meet
current federal safety standards. Using a
garage door opener without these fea-
tures 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

Uni-

versal 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.

INTELLIGENT KEY

Your vehicle can only be driven with the
Intelligent Keys which are registered to
your vehicle’s Intelligent Key system com-
ponents and INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer
System components. As many as 4 Intelli-
gent Keys can be registered and used with
one vehicle. The new keys must be
registered by an INFINITI retailer prior to
use with the Intelligent Key system and
INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System of your
vehicle. Since the registration process

requires erasing all memory in the Intelli-
gent Key components when registering
new keys, be sure to take all Intelligent
Keys that you have to the INFINITI retailer.

It is possible that the Intelligent Key
functions become canceled. Contact an
INFINITI retailer.

CAUTION
