Switches and Controls

WARNING

Do not use the HomeLink system with 

any garage door opener that lacks the 

safety stop and reverse feature:

Using the HomeLink system with any 

garage door opener that lacks the 

safety stop and reverse feature as 

required by federal safety standards 

is dangerous. (This includes garage 

doors manufactured before April 1, 

1982.)

Using these garage door openers can 

increase the risk of serious injury or 

death. For further information, contact 

HomeLink at 1-800-355-3515 or www.

homelink.com or an Authorized Mazda 

Dealer.

Always check the areas surrounding 

garage doors and gates for people 

or obstructions before programming 

or during operation of the HomeLink 

system:

Programming or operating the 

HomeLink system without verifying 

the safety of areas surrounding garage 

doors and gates is dangerous and 

could result in an unexpected accident 

and serious injury if someone were to 

be hit.

NOTE

The programming will not be erased even 

if the battery is disconnected.

 Pre-programming the HomeLink 

System

NOTE

It is 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.



 Verify that there is a remote control 

transmitter available for the device you 

would like to program.



 Disconnect the power to the device.

 Programming the HomeLink 

System

CAUTION

When programming a garage door 

opener or a gate, disconnect the power 

to these devices before performing 

programming. Continuous operation 

of the devices could damage the 

motor.

The HomeLink system provides 3 buttons 

which can be individually selected and 

programmed using the transmitters for 

current, on-market devices as follows:
1.  Disconnect power to the device being 

programmed.

2.  Position the end of your hand-held 

transmitter 2.5—7.5 cm (1—3 inches) 

away from the HomeLink button you 

wish to program while keeping the 

indicator light in view.

3.  Simultaneously press and hold both 

the chosen HomeLink and hand-held 

transmitter buttons. 

Do not release 

the buttons until step 3 has been 

completed.
