Replacing the Batteries
*
[CF67000(F )01/96]
The remote entry transmitter is powered by two
coin type three-volt lithium 2016
batteries (included) that should last for several
years of normal use. If you notice a significant
decrease in operating range, the batteries should
be replaced. Replacement batteries can be
purchased at most pharmacies, watch stores or
at your Ford or Lincoln-Mercury dealer.
*
[CF67100(F )01/96]
NOTE: The operating range of the remote
entry system can also be affected by
weather conditions (such as very cold
temperatures) or structures around the
vehicle (buildings, other vehicles, radio
and TV towers, etc.). Typical operating
range will allow you to be up to 33
feet (10 meters) away from your
vehicle.

*
[CF67300(F )01/96]
The transmitter can be snapped apart to replace
the batteries by twisting a thin coin between the
two halves of the transmitter. DO NOT TAKE
THE FRONT PART OF THE TRANSMITTER
APART. When installing the new batteries, be
sure to place the positive (+) side down as
marked. Snap the two halves back together.

Replacing lost transmitters
*
[CF67600(F )01/96]
In the event a transmitter is lost, you should
take all your vehicle's transmitters to your
dealer to have the remote entry system
deprogrammed for the lost transmitter. This is
necessary to prevent further unauthorized use of
the lost transmitter.
*
[CF67700(F )01/96]
You can also purchase additional transmitters
(up to 4 transmitters can be used) from your
dealer. You will need to take all your
transmitters to the dealer so they can program
them to the remote entry system all at the same
time.

[CF68000(F )01/96]
Illuminated Entry System (If equipped)
[CF68100(F )01/96]

vehicle's interior courtesy lamps when either
outside front door handle is pulled or when the
Remote Entry System is used to unlock the door
or sound the Personal Alarm. The system will
automatically turn off after approximately 25
seconds or when the ignition is turned to the
START or ACCESSORY position.
[CF68200(F )04/96]

Battery Saver (with Remote Entry Ð If
equipped)
[CF68400(F )04/96]
When the ignition is turned off, the vehicle will
turn off battery voltage to all of these lights after
45 minutes: glove box, engine compartment,
overhead console, mirror, courtesy and
interior (including cargo) lamps.

entry transmitter is used, any door is opened, or
the ignition key is turned on again.
