GARAGE DOOR OPENER
INTRODUCTION

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.

E188211

How Does The Garage Door Opener
Work

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

the toll-free help line at 1-800-355-3515.

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.

GARAGE DOOR OPENER
PRECAUTIONS AND
FREQUENCIES

Garage Door Opener Precautions

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.

FCC and RSS-210 Industry Canada
Compliance

WARNING:

Changes or

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.

142

Garage Door Opener

(If Equipped)

This equipment complies with FCC
radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. End Users must
follow the specific operating instructions
for satisfying RF exposure compliance. This
transmitter must be at least 8 in (20 cm)
from the user and must not be co-located
or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.

PROGRAMMING THE GARAGE
