INTRODUCTION  
PRECAUTIONS AND  
FREQUENCIES  
Garage Door Opener Precautions  
HomeLink Wireless Control  
System  
The universal garage door opener replaces  
the common handheld garage door opener  
with a three-button transmitter integrated  
into the driver-side sun visor.  
WARNING: Do not use the system  
with any garage door opener that does  
not have the safety stop and reverse  
feature as required by U.S. Federal  
Safety Standards (this includes any  
garage door opener 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 the risk  
of serious injury or death.

HowDoesTheGarage DoorOpener  
Work  
WARNING: Changes or  
The system includes two primary features,  
a garage door opener and a platform for  
remote activation of devices within the  
home. You can program garage doors as  
well as entry gate operators, security  
systems, entry door locks and home or  
office lighting.  
Additional assistance can be found online  
at www.homelink.com/Ford or by calling  
modifications not expressively approved  
by the party responsible for compliance  
could void the user's authority to operate  
the equipment. The term "IC:" before the  
radio certification number only signifies  
that Industry Canada technical  
specifications were met.  
This device complies with Part 15 of the  
FCC Rules and with RSS-210 of Industry  
Canada. Operation is subject to the  
following two conditions: (1) this device  
may not cause harmful interference, and  
(2) this device must accept any  
interference received, including  
interference that may cause undesired  
operation.  
Garage Door Opener Limitations  
Canadian radio-frequency laws require  
transmitter signals to time out, or quit,  
after several seconds which may not be  
long enough for HomeLink to pick up the  
signal. U.S. gate operators time-out in the  
same manner.

Note: You can program a maximum of  
three devices. To change or replace any of  
the three devices after they have been  
initially programmed, you must either clear  
all codes, or reprogram each individual  
button.  
Note: We recommend that upon the sale  
or lease termination of your vehicle, you  
erase the programmed function buttons for  
security reasons.  
PROGRAMMING THE GARAGE  
DOOR OPENER  
To clear all stored codes in the garage door  
opener in your vehicle, use the clear  
function. To override one button, use the  
reprogram function.  
Note: Make sure that the garage door and  
security device are free from obstruction  
when you are programming. Do not program  
the system with the vehicle in the garage.  
Reprogramming the Garage Door  
Opener  
If a button on your garage door opener has  
already been programmed, you can  
override it. To program a device to a  
previously trained button:  
1. Press and hold the desired button for  
approximately 20 seconds until the  
indicator begins to flash.  
2. Without releasing the button, proceed  
to Step 3 of Programming the

Note: The programming steps below  
assume you are programming a HomeLink  
that was not previously programmed. If your  
HomeLink was previously programmed, you  
may need to clear or reprogram your  
HomeLink buttons.  
Note: Put a new battery in the handheld  
transmitter. This allows for quicker training  
and accurate transmission of the  
radio-frequency signal.  
Note: Make sure that the garage door and  
security device are free from obstruction  
when you are programming. Do not program  
the system with the vehicle in the garage.

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  
programming. Similar to this Canadian law,  
some U.S. gate operators are designed to  
time-out in the same manner.  
Note: If programming a garage door opener  
or gate operator, it is advised that you  
unplug the device during the cycling process  
to prevent possible overheating.
