Recommended Owners Manual for Automatic-Dimming NVS Mirror with Homelink series Universal Garage Door Opener and Electronic Compass Display. Automatic-Dimming NVS Mirror with Homelink and Electronic Compass Display Suggested Owners Manual Text May 2004 Automatic-Dimming Night Vision Safety (NVS) Mirror The NVS Mirror in your vehicle is the most advanced way to eliminate dangerous and annoying glare in the rearview mirror during any driving situation. For more information regarding NVS mirrors and other applications, please refer to the Gentex website www.gentex.com. Precautions The NVS Mirror automatically reduces glare during driving conditions based upon light levels monitored in front of the vehicle and from the rear of the vehicle. These light sensors are visible through openings in the front and rear of the mirror case. Any object that would obstruct either light sensor will degrade the automatic dimming control feature. Operation The NVS Mirror operates automatically whenever the vehicle ignition is ON. The status of the automatic dimming feature is indicated by a green light on the face of the mirror. To turn the automatic dimming feature off, press the button with the light will turn off to indicate that the automatic dimming feature is off. To turn the automatic dimming feature on, press the button with the indicator light will also turn on. If the automatic dimming feature is off when the vehicle ignition is turned off, the automatic dimming feature will become active when the vehicle ignition is turned back on. button. The indicator button again. The Electronic Compass Display The NVS Mirror in your vehicle is also equipped with a display the shows the vehicle heading using the 8 basic cardinal headings (N, NE, E, SE, etc.). For more information regarding these features in the NVS mirrors, please refer to the Gentex website www.gentex.com. Electronic Compass Mirror Operation The Compass display operates automatically whenever the vehicle ignition is ON. To turn the display feature off, press the button with the button with the If the compass display feature is off when the vehicle ignition is turned off, the display feature will turn on again when the vehicle ignition is turned back on. There is a difference between magnetic north and true north. The compass in the mirror can compensate for this difference when it knows what region in which it is operating. This is set either by the dealer or by the user. These operating regions or zones for the continental United States are shown in the figure below. symbol. To turn the display feature on, press the symbol again. symbol for more than 3 seconds. To adjust the zone setting press and hold the button with the Determine the appropriate zone number based upon your current location and the map provided button until the new zone setting appears on the display (note: the above. Press and hold the numbers will repeat, 13, 14, 15, 1, 2, ). Release the button and within about 5 seconds the compass will start displaying a compass direction again. There are some conditions that can cause changes to the vehicle magnets. Items such as installing a ski rack or a CB antenna or even some body repair work on the vehicle can cause changes to the vehicle's magnetic field. In these situations, the compass will need to be re-
calibrated to quickly correct for these changes. To re-calibrate the compass, press and hold the button for more than 6 seconds. When the compass memory is cleared a C will appear in the display. To calibrate the compass, drive the vehicle is 3 complete circles at less than five mph. HomeLink Universal Transceiver The HomeLink Universal Transceiver included in your NVS Mirror with Homelink provides a convenient way to replace up to three hand-held transmitters with a single built-in component. This innovative feature will learn the radio frequency codes of most current transmitters used to activate devices such as garage doors, entry door locks, estate gates, security systems, and home or office lighting. For additional information on HomeLink and/or HomeLink compatible products, call 1-800-355-3515 or refer to the HomeLink web site at www.homelink.jci.com. Precautions Do not use the HomeLink Universal Transceiver with any garage door opener that lacks the safety stop and reverse feature as required by federal safety standards. (This includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982.) A garage door opener which cannot detect an object, signaling the door to stop and reverse, does not meet current federal safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these features increases risk of serious injury or death. For more information, call 1-800-355-3515 or on the internet at www.homelink.jci.com. Retain the original transmitter for future programming procedures (i.e., new vehicle purchase). It is also suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle, the programmed HomeLink Universal Transceiver buttons be erased for security purposes (follow step 1 in the Programming portion of this text). When programming the HomeLink Universal Transceiver to a garage door opener or entry gate, make sure that people and objects are out of the way to prevent potential harm or damage. Programming Note: For best results, replace the battery in the hand-held transmitter with a new battery before programming. If your garage door opener receiver (located in the garage) is equipped with an antenna, make sure the antenna is completely uncoiled and hangs straight down. 1. Press and hold the two outside buttons - releasing only when the indicator light begins to flash after 20 seconds. (This procedure erases the factory set default codes and does not have to be followed to program additional hand-held transmitters.) 2. Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter of the device you wish to train approximately one to three inches away from the HomeLink surface - keeping the indicator light in view.
(For placement questions, please contact HomeLink at 1-800-355-3515 or on the internet at www.homelink.jci.com.) 3. Using both hands, simultaneously push the hand-held transmitter button and the desired HomeLink button. Do not release the buttons until step 4 has been completed. Note: Some entry gates and garage door openers may require you to replace this programming step (#3) with the procedures noted in the Canadian Programming / Gate Programming section. 4. The HomeLink indicator light will flash, first slowly and then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes rapidly, release both buttons. (The rapid flashing light indicates successful programming of the new frequency signal.) If, after 20 seconds, the indicator light does not flash rapidly, release both the HomeLink and the hand-held transmitter buttons and repeat steps two through four. However, position the hand-held transmitter at a different length and/or angle until the indicator light begins to flash rapidly. Release both buttons after the indicator light flashes rapidly. Refer to Rolling Code Programming and/or Canadian Programming/Gate Programming for additional procedures if necessary. To activate the garage door or other programmed device upon successfully completing the steps above, press and hold the HomeLink button - releasing when the device begins to activate. To program the remaining two buttons, follow steps 2 through 4. If you do not successfully program the HomeLink Universal Transceiver to learn the signal of the hand-held transmitter, refer to Rolling Code Programming within this text or call toll-free for customer assistance at 1-800-
355-3515 or on the internet at www.homelink.jci.com. Canadian Programming / Gate Programming Canadian frequency laws, and the technology of some entry gates, require you to cycle (press and re-press the hand-held transmitter button every two seconds) during programming. Continue to press and hold the desired HomeLink button (note steps 3 through 5 in the Programming portion of this text) while you cycle your hand-held transmitter until the frequency signal has been learned. The indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly upon successful training. Note: When programming a garage door opener or gate, it is advised to unplug the device during the cycling process to prevent possible motor burn-up Operating the HomeLink Universal Transceiver To operate, simply press the programmed HomeLink button. Activation will now occur for the trained product
(garage door, security system, entry door lock, estate gate, or home or office lighting). For convenience, the hand-
