HomeLink Universal Transmitter

On EX V-6 model

The HomeLink Universal
Transmitter built into your vehicle
can be programmed to operate

remotely controlled devices around
your home, such as garage doors,
lighting, or home security systems.
It can replace up to three remote
transmitters.

Customer Assistance

If you have problems with training
the HomeLink Universal Transmitter,
or would like information on home
products that can be operated by the
transmitter, call (800) 355-3515. On
the internet, go to

www.homelink.jci.com.

Important

Safety Precautions

Always refer to the operating
instructions and safety information
that came with your garage door
opener or other equipment you
intend to operate with the

HomeLink Universal Transmitter.
If you do not have this information,
you should contact the
manufacturer of the equipment.

While training or using the
transmitter, make sure you have a

clear view of the garage door or
gate, and that no one w i l l be injured
by its movement.

General Information

If you are training the transmitter to
operate a garage door or gate, it is
recommended that you unplug the
motor for that device during
training. Repeatedly pressing the
remote control button could burn

out the motor.

The HomeLink transmitter stores
the code in a permanent memory.
There should be no need to retrain
the transmitter if your vehicle's
battery goes dead or is

disconnected.

If your garage door opener was
manufactured before April 1982,
you may not be able to program the
HomeLink Universal Transmitter to

operate it. Garage door openers
manufactured before that date do
not have a safety feature that
causes them to stop and reverse if

an obstacle is detected during

closing, increasing the risk of
injury. If you have questions, call

(800)355-3515.

Training the Transmitter

Before you can use the HomeLink
Universal Transmitter to operate
devices around your home, it must

"learn" the proper codes. For
example, to train the transmitter to
open and close the garage door:
