Programming - Mercury Mountaineer 2002 Owner's Manual

Controls and features
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 Universal Transceiver buttons be erased for
security purposes, refer to Programming in this section.

Programming

Do not program the HomeLink Universal Transceiver 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. Press and hold the two outside
buttons releasing only when the red
light begins to flash after 20
seconds. Do not repeat step one to
program additional hand-held
transmitters to the remaining two
HomeLink buttons. This will erase
previously programmed hand-held
transmitter signals into HomeLink .
2. Position the end of your
hand-held transmitter 2–8 cm (1–3 inches) away from the HomeLink
Universal Transceiver surface (located on your overhead console) while
keeping the red light in view.
3. Simultaneously press and hold
both the HomeLink and hand-held
transmitter button. Do not release
the buttons until step 4 has been
completed.
Some entry gates and garage door
openers may require you to replace
step 3 with procedures noted in the
"Gate Operator and Canadian
Programming" section for Canadian
residents.
4. The red light will flash slowly and then rapidly. Release both buttons
when the red light flashes rapidly. (The rapid flashing light indicates
acceptance of the hand-held transmitters' radio frequency signals.)
