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.

y

 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.
