Pre-programming the HomeLink
System
•Verify that there is a remote control
transmitter available for the device you
would like to program.
•Disconnect the power to the device.
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 your
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Safety While Programming or
Operating 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. Always check
the areas surrounding garage doors
and gates for people or obstructions
before programming or during
operation of the HomeLink system.
HomeLink has been tested and
complies with FCC and Industry
Canada rules. Changes or
modifications not expressly approved
by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the device.

Programming the HomeLink
System
The HomeLink system provides 3 buttons
which can be individually selected and
programmed using the transmitters for
current, on-market devices as follows:
1. Press and hold the two outer
HomeLink buttons (buttons one and
three) - releasing only when the
indicator light begins to flash (after 20
seconds). Do not
hold the buttons for
longer than 30 seconds and do not
repeat step 1
to program a second and/
or third hand-held transmitter to the
remaining two HomeLink buttons.
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 4 has been
completed.4. After the HomeLink indicator light
changes from a slow to a rapidly
blinking light, release both the
HomeLink and hand-held transmitter
buttons.
5. Press and hold the just-trained
HomeLink button and observe the
indicator light.
If the indicator light stays on constantly,
programming is complete
and your
device should activate when the
HomeLink button is pressed and released.
If the indicator light blinks rapidly for
two seconds and then turns to a
constant light, continue with
"Programming" steps 6—8
to complete
the programming of a rolling code
equipped device (most commonly a
garage door opener).
6. At the garage door opener receiver
(motor-head unit) in the garage, locate
the "learn" or "smart" button. This can
usually be found where the hanging
antenna wire is attached to the motor-
head unit. When programming a garage door
opener or a gate, disconnect the power
to these devices before performing
programming, as continuous operation
of the devices could damage the motor.
NOTE
Some gate operators and garage door
openers may require you to replace this
Programming Step 3 with procedures
noted in the "Gate Operator/Canadian
Programming" section.
CAUTION
NOTE
If the HomeLink indicator light does
not change to a rapidly blinking light,
contact HomeLink at
www.homelink.com or call 1-800-355-
3515 for assistance.
NOTE
To program the remaining two
HomeLink buttons, begin with
"Programming" - step 2. Do not
repeat step 1.

7. Firmly press and release the "learn" or
"smart" button. (The name and color of
the button may vary by manufacturer.)
8. Return to the vehicle and firmly press,
hold for two seconds and release
the
programmed HomeLink button. Repeat
the "press/hold/release"
sequence a
second time, 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 process.
HomeLink should now activate your
rolling code equipped device.

800-355-3515.Gate operator/Canadian
Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter signals to "time-out"(or quit)
after several seconds of transmission -
which may not be long enough for
HomeLink to pick up the signal during
programming. Similar to this Canadian
law, some U.S. gate operators are
designed to "time-out" in the same
manner.
If you live in Canada or you are having
difficulties programming a gate operator
by using the "Programming" procedures
(regardless of where you live), replace
"Programming HomeLink" step 3
with
the following:
3. Continue to press and hold the
HomeLink button while you press and
release - every two seconds
("cycle")
your hand-held transmitter until the
frequency signal has successfully been
accepted by HomeLink. (The indicator
light will flash slowly and then
rapidly.)
Proceed with "Programming" step 4 to
complete.
NOTE
There are 30 seconds in which to
initiate step 8.
NOTE
To program the remaining two
HomeLink buttons, begin with
"Programming" - step 2. Do not
repeat step 1.
NOTE
If programming a garage door opener
or gate operator, it is advised to unplug
the device during the "cycling" process
to prevent possible overheating.
