Ford Excursion (2005 year). Manual — part 19

Programming

Do not program HomeLink

威 with the vehicle parked in the garage.

Note: Your vehicle may require the ignition switch to be turned to the
ACC position for programming and/or operation of the HomeLink

威. It is

also recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held
transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLink

威 for quicker

training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal.

1. Press and hold the two outside
buttons releasing only when the
indicator light begins to flash after
20 seconds. Do not repeat step one
to program additional hand-held
transmitters to the remaining two
HomeLink

威 buttons. This will erase

previously programmed hand-held
transmitter signals into HomeLink

威.

2. Position the end of your
hand-held transmitter 1–3 inches (2–8 cm) away from the HomeLink

威

button you wish to program (located on your visor) while keeping the
indicator light in view.

3. Simultaneously press and hold
both the HomeLink

威 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” in this section for Canadian
residents.

4. The indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly. Release both
buttons when the indicator light flashes rapidly. (The rapid flashing light
indicates acceptance of the hand-held transmitters’ radio frequency
signals.)

5. Press and hold the just-trained HomeLink

威 button and observe the

indicator light. If the light is constant, programming is complete and your
device should activate when the HomeLink

威 button is pressed and

released. Note: To program the remaining two HomeLink

威 buttons,

begin with step 2 in the “Programming” section — do not repeat step 1.

Note: If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns
to a continuous red, proceed with steps 6 through 8 to complete
programming of a rolling code equipped device.

6. At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in the garage,
locate the “learn” or “smart” button (usually near where the hanging
antenna wire is attached to the unit).

7. Press and release the “learn” or “smart” button. (The name and color
of the button may vary by manufacturer.)

Note: There are 30 seconds in which to initiate step eight.

8. Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for two seconds and
release the HomeLink

威 button. Repeat the press/hold/release sequence

again, and, depending on the brand of the garage door opener (or other
rolling code equipped device), repeat this sequence a third time to
complete the programming.

HomeLink

威 should now activate your rolling code equipped device. To

program additional HomeLink

威 buttons begin with step 2 in the

“Programming” section. For questions or comments, please contact
HomeLink at www.homelink.com or 1–800–355–3515.

Gate Operator & Canadian Programming

During programming, your
hand-held transmitter may
automatically stop transmitting —
not allowing enough time for
HomeLink

威 to accept the signal

from the hand-held transmitter.

After completing steps 1 and 2
outlined in the “Programming”
section, replace step 3 with the following:

Note: If programming a garage door opener or gate operator, it is
advised to unplug the device during the “cycling” process to prevent
overheating.
• Continue to press and hold the HomeLink威 button (note step 3 in the

“Programming” section) while you press and release — every two
seconds (“cycle”) your hand-held transmitter until the frequency
signal has been accepted by the HomeLink

威. The indicator light will

flash slowly and then rapidly after HomeLink

威 accepts the radio

frequency signal.

• Proceed with step 4 in the “Programming” section.

Operating the HomeLink

姞 Wireless Control System

To operate, simply press and release
the appropriate HomeLink

威 button.

Activation will now occur for the
trained product (garage door, gate
operator, security system, entry
door lock, or home or office lighting
etc.). For convenience, the
hand-held transmitter of the device
may also be used at any time. In the event that there are still
programming difficulties, contact HomeLink

威 at www.homelink.com or

1–800–355–3515.

Erasing HomeLink

姞 buttons

To erase the three programmed
buttons (individual buttons cannot
be erased):
• Press and hold the two outer

HomeLink

威 buttons until the

indicator light begins to
flash-after 20 seconds. Release
both buttons. Do not hold for
longer that 30 seconds.

HomeLink

威 is now in the train (or

learning) mode and can be programmed at any time beginning with step
2 in the “Programming” section.

Reprogramming a single HomeLink

姞 button

To program a device to HomeLink

威 using a HomeLink威 button previously

trained, follow these steps:

1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink

威 button. Do NOT release the

button.

2. The indicator light will begin to flash after 20 seconds. Without
releasing the HomeLink

威 button, follow step 2 in the “Programming”

section.

For questions or comments, contact HomeLink

威 at www.homelink.com

CELL PHONE USE

The use of Mobile Communications Equipment has become increasingly
important in the conduct of business and personal affairs. However,
drivers must not compromise their own or others’ safety when using
such equipment. Mobile Communications can enhance personal safety
and security when appropriately used, particularly in emergency
situations. Safety must be paramount when using mobile communications
equipment to avoid negating these benefits.

Mobile Communication Equipment includes, but is not limited to cellular
phones, pagers, portable email devices, in vehicle communications
systems, telematics devices and portable two-way radios.

A driver’s first responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle.
The most important thing you can do to prevent a crash is to

avoid distractions and pay attention to the road. Wait until it is safe to
operate Mobile Communications Equipment.
