The HomeLink

Universal Transceiver pro-

vides 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 Transcei-

ver is programmed, retain the original
transmitter for future programming proce-
dures (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 “Pro-
gramming HomeLink

” (P.2-59).

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 manufac-
tured 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.

PROGRAMMING HomeLink

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:

It is also recommended that a new battery
be placed in the hand-held transmitter of
t h e d e v i c e b e i n g p ro g r a m m e d t o
HomeLink

for quicker programming and

accurate transmission of the radio-fre-
quency.

PROGRAMMING HomeLink

FOR

CANADIAN CUSTOMERS AND GATE
OPENERS

Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter signals to “time-out” (or quit)
after several seconds of transmission –
which may not be long enough for
HomeLink

to pick up the signal during

programming. Similar to this Canadian
law, some U.S. gate operators are de-
signed to “time-out” in the same manner.

If you live in Canada or you are having
difficulties programming a gate operator or
garage door opener by using the “Pro-
gramming HomeLink

” procedures, re-

place “Programming HomeLink

” Step 2

with the following:

NOTE:

When programming a garage door opener,
etc., unplug the device during the “cy-
cling” process to prevent possible damage
to the garage door opener components.

Step 2: Using both hands, simultaneously
press and hold the desired HomeLink

button and the hand-held transmitter

button. During programming, your hand-
held transmitter may automatically stop
transmitting. Continue to press and hold
the desired HomeLink

button while you

press and re-press (“cycle”) your hand-
held transmitter every two seconds until
the frequency signal has been learned. The
HomeLink

indicator light will flash slowly

and then rapidly after several seconds
upon successful programming. DO NOT
release until the HomeLink

indicator light

flashes slowly and then rapidly. When the
indicator light flashes rapidly, both buttons
may be released. The rapid flashing
indicates successful programming.

Proceed with “Programming HomeLink

”

step 3 to complete.

Remember to plug the device back in when
programming is completed.

A key number plate is supplied with your
keys. Record the key number and keep it in
a safe place (such as your wallet), not in
the vehicle. If you lose your keys, see an
INFINITI retailer for duplicates by using the
key number. INFINITI does not record any
key numbers so it is very important to keep
track of your key number plate.

A key number is only necessary when you
have lost all keys and do not have one to
duplicate from. If you still have a key, this
key can be duplicated by an INFINITI
retailer.

The Intelligent Key system can operate all
the doors and the trunk lid using the
remote controller function or pushing the
request switch on the vehicle without
taking the key out from a pocket or purse.
The operating environment and/or condi-
tions may affect the Intelligent Key system
operation.

Be sure to read the following before using
the Intelligent Key system.

CAUTION

Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with
you when operating the vehicle.

Never leave the Intelligent Key in the
vehicle when you leave the vehicle.

The Intelligent Key is always communicat-
ing with the vehicle as it receives radio
waves. The Intelligent Key system trans-
mits weak radio waves. Environmental
conditions may interfere with the operation
of the Intelligent Key system under the
following operating conditions.

. When operating near a location where

strong radio waves are transmitted,
such as a TV tower, power station and
broadcasting station.

. When in possession of wireless equip-

ment, such as a cellular telephone,
transceiver, and CB radio.

. When the Intelligent Key is in contact

with or covered by metallic materials.

. When any type of radio wave remote

control is used nearby.

. When the Intelligent Key is placed near

an electric appliance such as a perso-

nal computer.

. When the vehicle is parked near a

parking meter.

In such cases, correct the operating condi-
tions before using the Intelligent Key
function or use the mechanical key.

Although the life of the battery varies
depending on the operating conditions,
the battery’s life is approximately 2 years.
If the battery is discharged, replace it with
a new one.

When the Intelligent Key battery is almost
discharged, insert the Intelligent Key into
the Intelligent Key port to start the engine.
Replace the discharged battery with a new
one as soon as possible. For more details,
see “Push-button ignition switch” (P.5-9).

Since the Intelligent Key is continuously
receiving radio waves, if the key is left near
equipment which transmits strong radio
waves, such as signals from a TV and
personal computer, the battery life may
become shorter.

For information regarding replacement of a
battery, see “Intelligent Key battery repla-
cement” (P.8-26).
