1997 LINCOLN TOWN CAR garage door opener

92Do not use this HomeLink Transmitter with any
garage door opener that lacks safety ªstopº and
ªreverseº features as required by federal safety
standards, (this includes any garage door opener
model manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage
door opener which cannot ªdetectº an object in the
path of a closing door and then automatically ªstopº
and ªreverseº the door, 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 on this
matter, call toll-free:1-800-355-3515.ProgrammingIf after repeated attempts you do not successfully
program the HomeLink Universal Transmitter to
learn the signal of the hand-help transmitter, call
toll-free for customer assistance: 1-800-355-3515.1. If you have previously programmed your
HomeLink Transmitter, proceed to step 2.
Otherwise, hold down the two outside buttons
on the HomeLink Transmitter until the red
light begins to flash. Release both buttons.
2. Decide which one of the three channels you
want to program.
3. Hold the end of your hand-held transmitter
against the front surface of the HomeLink
Transmitter so that you can still see the red
light.

94Operating the HomeLinkHUniversal
TransmitterOnce it is programmed, the HomeLink Universal
Transmitter can be used in place of your hand-held
transmitter(s). To operate, simply press the
appropriate button on the HomeLink Transmitter.
The red light comes on while the signal is being
transmitted.
NOTE:If your hand-held transmitter appears to
program the HomeLink Transmitter, but does not
open your garage door, and if your garage door
opener was manufactured after 1995, your garage
door opener may have a ªcode protectedº or
ªrolling codeº feature.
A ªrolling codeº type of system will change the
ªcodeº of your garage door opener every time you
open or close your garage door.
To determine if you have one of these systems,
depress the button on the HomeLink Transmitter
that you programmed. If the red light on theHomeLink Transmitter flashes rapidly for 1-2
seconds, then remains on, your garage door opener
has a rolling code system.
Training a Garage Door Opener
Equipped with ªRolling CodesºTo train your ªrolling codeº garage door opener to
operate from your HomeLink Transmitter, follow
these steps:
1. Program your hand-held transmitter to the
HomeLink Transmitter by following the
procedures outlined in the ªProgrammingº
section of these instructions. (If you already
completed this programming, proceed to the
next instruction.)
2. Train your garage door opener receiver to
recognize your HomeLink Transmitter. (Your
garage door opener receiver will learn to
recognize the HomeLink Transmitter by
following the same procedures used to train the
hand-held transmitter.)

HomeLink's red light, (1-2 seconds). Release the
button, and re-press the button to confirm that
the HomeLink Transmitter has been trained to
the receiver.

Your garage door opener should now recognize
your HomeLink Transmitter. You may use either
your HomeLink Transmitter or your original
hand-held transmitter to open your garage door.
If after following these suggestions you still have
difficulties in programming your HomeLink
Transmitter, call toll-free for customer assistance:
1-800-355-3515.
Erasing ChannelsTo erase all three programmed channels, hold down
the two outside buttons until the red light begins to
flash. Then release both buttons. Individual channels
cannot be erased, but can be reprogrammed using
the procedures for programming the HomeLink
Transmitter, (steps 2 through 5).
NOTE:Be sure to retain your original transmitter
for future programming procedures (i.e., new
vehicle purchase).

NOTE:Mobile communications systems may harm
the operation of your vehicle, particularly if they are
not properly designed for automotive use or are not
properly installed. For example, when operated,
such systems may cause the engine to stumble or
stall. In addition, such systems may themselves be
damaged or their operation affected by operating
your vehicle. (Citizens band [CB] transceivers,
garage door openers, and other transmitters whose
power output is 5 watts or less will not ordinarily
affect your vehicle's operation.)NOTE:Because we have no control over the
installation, design, or manufacture of such systems,
Ford cannot assume responsibility for any adverse
effects or damage that may result if you use this
equipment.
