Homelink Universal Transceiver - Tesla S Owner's Manual

About HomeLink
If Model S is equipped with the optional tech
package, you can program the HomeLink
Universal Transceiver to operate up to three
garage doors, gates, lights, and security
systems that can transmit Radio Frequency
(RF) signals.
Programming HomeLink
1. Park Model S in front of the device you
want to program, and have the device's
remote control ready.
2. Touch Controls > Settings > HomeLink on
the touchscreen.
3. Touch Add New HomeLink, then use the
onscreen keyboard to enter a name for
your HomeLink device.
4. Touch Program.
5. Follow the onscreen instructions.
Once programmed, you can operate the
device by touching its corresponding
HomeLink icon on the touchscreen's status
bar. HomeLink remembers the location of
your programmed devices. When you
approach a known location, the HomeLink
control on the touchscreen automatically
drops down. When you drive away, it
disappears.
Note: For security reasons, erase your
HomeLink settings if you sell Model S.
Warning: Your device might open or
close during programming. Before
programming, make sure that the device
is clear of any people or objects.
Warning: Do not use the HomeLink
Universal Transceiver with a garage door
that does not meet safety standards. A
garage door opener that cannot detect
an object in its path and then
automatically stop and reverse, does not
meet these standards. Using a garage
door opener without these features
increases the risk of injury or death.
Troubleshooting HomeLink
When programming a HomeLink device, the
touchscreen steps you through a two-part
programming process:
• First, Model S records the signal from the
remote. The touchscreen instructs you to
stand in front of the car, point the remote
at the front bumper and press and hold
the button until the headlights flash.
Using the Touchscreen
®
HomeLink Universal Transceiver
When headlights flash, Model S has
learned the remote and you can touch
Continue on the touchscreen . If the
®
headlights do not flash, refer to the
guidelines below.
• Next, the device's receiver learns Model S.
The touchscreen instructs you to press
the LEARN button on the garage door or
gate's receiver. If training the receiver
does not work, refer to the guidelines
below.
NOTE: Only devices that are equipped
with a "rolling code" remote need to learn
Model S. If you have a very old device that
is not equipped with a rolling code
remote, the device does not need to learn
Model S and you can skip this part. You
can also skip this step if your receiver is
Quick-Train compatible. The opener
should work.
Headlights do not flash
• Check the batteries in the remote. It is a
good idea to replace the batteries before
you start programming.
• Hold the remote against the nose cone,
with the button pressed, about 6 inches to
the left of the Tesla emblem. In some
cases you must hold the remote for up to
three minutes.
• Check compatibility of the remote by
contacting the HomeLink manufacturer
(www.homelink.com).
After programming, the device does not work
• Park Model S with its front bumper as
close as possible to the HomeLink device
(garage door, gate, etc).
• Make sure you haven't reached the device
receiver's limit of learned remotes/cars.
Most receivers can learn up to five
remotes/cars. If the receiver's memory is
full, you must clear the memory and
restart the programming process. For
instructions on how to clear the receiver's
memory, refer to the owner
documentation provided with the
HomeLink device.
• Make sure you are pressing the receiver's
LEARN button. Most receivers have two
buttons and a LED. One button is a RESET
button and the other is a LEARN button.
Pressing the LEARN button usually causes
the LED to flash. For instructions on how
to put the receiver into learning mode,
refer to the owner documentation
provided with the HomeLink device.
