FORD 2008 Explorer v.3 - Manual (Page 116)

When programming your HomeLink
௡ Wireless Control System to
a garage door or gate, be sure that people and objects are out of
the way to prevent potential injury or damage.
Do not use the HomeLink
௡ Wireless Control System with any garage
door opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features as required by
U.S. federal safety standards (this includes any garage door opener
model manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door which cannot
detect an object, signaling the door to stop and reverse, does not meet
current U.S. federal safety standards. For more information, contact
HomeLink
௡ at: www.homelink.com or 1–800–355–3515.
Retain the original transmitter for use in other vehicles as well as for
future programming procedures (i.e. new HomeLink
௡ equipped vehicle
purchase). It is also suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle, the
programmed Homelink
௡ buttons be erased for security purposes, refer to
Programming in this section.
Programming
Do not program HomeLink
௡ with the vehicle parked in the garage.
Note: Some vehicles may require the ignition switch to be turned to the
second (or “ACC”) position for programming and/or operation of the
HomeLink
௡. It is also recommended that a new battery be placed in the
hand-held transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLink
௡ for
quicker training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal.
1. Position the end of your
hand-held transmitter 1–3 inches
(2–8 cm) away from the HomeLink
௡
button you wish to program (located
on your overhead console) while
keeping the indicator light in view.
2. Simultaneously press and hold
both the chosen HomeLink
௡ and
hand-held transmitter buttons until
the HomeLink
௡ indicator light
changes from a slow to a rapidly
blinking light. Now you may release both the HomeLink
௡ and hand-held
transmitter buttons.
Note: Some entry gates and garage door openers may require you to
replace Step 2 with procedures noted in the “Gate Operator and
Canadian Programming” section for Canadian residents.
