DESCRIPTION OF FEATURES AND OPERATION
The HomeLink(TM) System has the following features:
^ An electronic signal can be programmed into the built-in transmitter in the driver's side sun visor to enable the driver to open and close gates, garage doors, and other doors by remote control.
^ The unit is compatible with the frequency bands for most commercially available garage door and gate openers.
^ Up to three transmission codes can be recorded and sent by using simple push-button switch operations. With the optional HomeLink(TM) Lighting Package, these codes can also be used to turn lights and some appliances on and off.
^ This unit eliminates the need for up to three different remote control transmitters.
BLOCK DIAGRAM OF SYSTEM
PROCEDURE
MEMORY PROGRAMMING
1) Press and hold one of the sun visor unit switches (1, 2, or 3). The LED should flash (one time per second).
NOTE:
If the unit has already been programmed, the LED will illuminate without flashing. To reprogram the unit, see CHANGING MEMORY SETTINGS on page three of this bulletin.
2) While still pressing the sun visor unit switch, point the customer's hand-held transmitter at the HomeLink(TM) sun visor unit and activate the transmitter. The LED flashes rapidly (5-6 times per second) and then the LED will switch off. The signal from the transmitter is now recorded into the sun visor unit.
CAUTION!
The distance between the transmitter and the sun visor unit must be within 25 mm (1 inch).
CLEARING MEMORY SETTINGS
To clear the recorded signals for all three switches, press switches 1 and 3 simultaneously for 20 seconds or more. When the LED changes from constant illumination to a slow flash (once per second), the memory is cleared.
NOTE:
You cannot clear the memory for only 1 or 2 of the switches. All 3 are cleared at the same time.
CHANGING MEMORY SETTINGS
To change the setting for a switch, press the switch you want to change and then follow the same procedure for "MEMORY PROGRAMMING".
TRANSMITTING A RECORDED SIGNAL
Pressing the programmed switch sends out the recorded signal. The LED illuminates while the unit is transmitting.
NOTE:
1) To save battery power, the switch turns off automatically if it is pressed continuously for 100 seconds or longer.
2) Refer to the instructions supplied with the customer's transmitter for details on operating ranges. The range of the HomeLink(TM) signal is usually about 85% of the range of the customer's transmitter.
