garage door opener LINCOLN MARK VIII 1998 Owners Manual

Do not use the HomeLinktUniversal Transmitter 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 on this matter, call
toll-free: 1±800±355±3515.
Programming
1. Prepare for programming the
HomeLinktUniversal Transmitter by
erasing all three of the factory
default channels by holding down
the two outside controls until the
red light begins to flash (20-30
seconds). Release both controls.
2. Hold the end of your hand-held
transmitter against the HomeLinkt
Universal Transmitter (located on
your visor) while keeping the red
light in view.
3. Using both hands, press the
hand-held transmitter control and
the desired channel control on the
HomeLinktUniversal Transmitter.
Do not release the controls until
step 4 has been completed.
4. Hold down both controls until the
red light begins to flash slowly and
then rapidly. Rapid flashing indicates
successful programming of the new
frequency signal.
5. Follow steps 2 through 4 to
program the remaining two channels.
If you do not successfully program the HomeLinktUniversal Transmitter
after repeated attempts, refer toTraining a rolling codewhich follows

Training a rolling code system
Rolling code systems (garage door openers which are ªcode protectedº)
may be determined by the following:
²The hand-held transmitter appears to program the HomeLinkt
Universal Transmitter but does not activate the garage door.
²The garage door opener was manufactured after 1995.
Follow these steps to train a garage door with the rolling code feature:
1. Locate the training control on the garage door opener receiver. Refer
to the garage door opener manual or call 1±800±355±3515 if there is
difficulty locating the training control.
2. Press the training control on the garage door opener receiver until the
training light (next to the control) begins to flash (1-2 seconds).
3. Press the programmed
HomeLinktcontrol in the vehicle
until the training light on the garage
door receiver turns solid (1-2
seconds). Release the HomeLinkt
control and repress to turn off the
training light.
4. Press the HomeLinktcontrol
again. If the garage door activates,
the HomeLinktUniversal
Transmitter has been trained to the
receiver.
Erasing channels

channels:
1. Hold down the two outside
controls until the red light begins to
flash.
