Nissan Pathfinder: HomeLink Universal Transceiver

Basic Information

The HomeLink Universal Transceiver provides a convenient way to consolidate the functions of up to three individual handheld 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.

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.

Programming HomeLink

The following steps show generic instructions on how to program a HomeLink button.

If you have any questions or are having difficulty programming your HomeLink buttons, refer to the HomeLink web site at: www.homelink.com/nissan or call 1-800-355-3515.

NOTE: It is also recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLink for quicker programming and accurate transmission of the radiofrequency.

1. HomeLink buttons (1-3)
2. Indicator light (appears above each HomeLink button)

1. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter 1-3 inches (2-8 cm) away from the HomeLink button that you would wish to program while keeping the indicator light in view.

2. Simultaneously press and hold both the chosen HomeLink and hand-held transmitter buttons until the HomeLink indicator light changes from a slow to a rapidly blinking light. Now you may release both the HomeLink and hand-held transmitter buttons.

NOTE: Some hand-held transmitters (garage door opener remote) may actually train better at a distance of 6-12 inches (15-20 cm). Keep this in mind if you have difficulty with the programming process.

3. Firmly press, hold for five seconds and release the programmed HomeLink button up to two separate times to activate the door. If the door does not activate, press and hold the just trained HomeLink button and observe the indicator light.

• If the indicator light stays on constantly, programming is complete and your device should activate when the Homelink button is pressed and released.
• If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns to a constant light, continue with "Programming" steps 4-6 to complete the programming of a rolling code equipped device (most commonly a garage door opener).

NOTE: Some devices may require you to replace this Programming Step 2 with procedures noted in the "Programming HomeLink for Canadian customers and gate openers" section. If the HomeLink indicator light does not change to a rapidly blinking light after performing these steps, contact HomeLink at www.homelink.com.

4. At the garage door opener motor (security gate motor, etc.), locate the "Learn" or "Set" button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit (see the device's manual to identify this button.).

The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer.

NOTE: A ladder and/or second person may simplify the garage door programming steps. Do not stand on your vehicle to perform the garage door programming steps.

Example

5. Firmly press and release the "Learn" or "Set" button until the indicator illuminates.

Once the button is pressed, you have approximately 30 seconds to initiate the next step.

6. Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for two seconds and release the HomeLink button up to three times.

Do not press the HomeLink button rapidly. At this point programming is complete and your device should operate when the HomeLink button is pressed and released.

7. If you have any questions or are having difficulty programming your HomeLink buttons, refer to the HomeLink web site at: www.homelink.com/nissan or call 1-800-355-3515.

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 training. Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are designed to "timeout" in the same manner.

If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties training a gate operator or garage door opener by using the "Programming HomeLink" procedures, replace "Programming HomeLink" step 2 with the following:

NOTE: When programming a garage door opener, etc., unplug the device during the "cycling" process to prevent possible damage to the device components.

Step 2: Continue to press and hold the HomeLink button while you press and release - every two seconds ("cycle") your hand-held transmitter until the HomeLink indicator light changes from a slow to a rapidly blinking light. Now you may release both the Homelink and hand-held transmitter buttons.

Proceed with "Programming HomeLink" step 3 to complete.

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

Operating the HomeLink Universal Transceiver

The HomeLink Universal Transceiver, after it is programmed, can be used to activate the programmed device. To operate, firmly press the appropriate programmed HomeLink button. The indicator light will illuminate in green with three parenthesis on the mirror while the signal is being transmitted.

Programming trouble-shooting

If the HomeLink does not quickly learn the hand-held 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 button.
• Press and hold both the HomeLink button and hand-held transmitter button in each step without interruption.
• Position the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 in (2 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink button. 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 - for example, 6 to 12 in (15 to 20 cm) away, keeping the HomeLink button in view at all times.

It is recommended not to place metal objects near the garage door opener antenna for optimal functionality.

If you have any questions or are having difficulty programming your HomeLink buttons, refer to the HomeLink web site at: www.homelink.com/nissan or call 1-800-355-3515.

Clearing the programmed information

Basic Information

The following procedure clears the programmed information from three buttons.

Individual buttons cannot be cleared. However, individual buttons can be reprogrammed.

To clear all programming

1. Press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons until the indicator light begins to flash in green in approximately 10 seconds.

Do not hold for longer than 20 seconds.

2. Release both buttons.

HomeLink is now in the programming mode and can be programmed at any time beginning with "Programming HomeLink" - Step 1.

Reprogramming a single HomeLink button

To reprogram a HomeLink button, complete the following:

1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink button. DO NOT release the button.

2. The indicator light will begin to flash after 20 seconds. Without releasing the HomeLink button, proceed with "Programming HomeLink" - step 1.

For questions or comments, contact HomeLink at: www.homelink.com/nissan or 1-800-355-3515.

The HomeLink button has now been reprogrammed.

The new device can be activated by pressing the HomeLink button that was just programmed. This procedure will not affect any other programmed HomeLink buttons.

If a new device is not programmed to the HomeLink button, it will revert to the previously stored programming.

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.
