HomeLink® Universal Transceiver

The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver can be programmed to operate up to three 
remote controlled devices around your home, such as garage doors, lighting, or 
home security systems.

Refer to the safety information that came with your garage door opener to test that 
the safety features are functioning properly. If you do not have the safety 
information, contact the manufacturer.

Before programming HomeLink, make sure that people and objects are out of the 
way of the garage or gate to prevent potential injury or damage.

When programming a garage door opener, park just outside the garage door’s path.

■

Important Safety Precautions

1

HomeLink® Universal Transceiver

Before programming HomeLink to operate a garage 
door opener, confirm that the opener has an external 
entrapment protection system, such as an “electronic 
eye,” or other safety and reverse stop features. If it 
does not, HomeLink may not be able to operate it.

button, go directly to step 1.

The instructions on the next page should work for most gate or garage openers, but

Phone Setup

Your Bluetooth-compatible phone must be paired to 
HFL before you can make and receive hands-free 
calls.

Phone Pairing Tips:

•

You cannot pair your phone while the vehicle is 
moving.

•

Up to six phones can be paired.

•

Your phone’s battery may drain faster when it is 
connected to HFL.

•

If your phone is not ready for pairing or not found 
by the system within three minutes, the system will 
time out and returns to idle.

Once you have paired a phone, you can see it 
displayed on the screen with one or two icons on the 
right side.
These icons indicate the following:

: The phone can be used with HFL.
: The phone is compatible with Bluetooth® Audio.

When pairing is completed, an Automatic Phone 
Sync prompt appears. Select On if you want your call
