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.

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
diffi culties programming a gate operator
by using the “Programming” procedures
(regardless of where you live), replace
“Programming HomeLink” 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 possible overheating.

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 fl ash
slowly and then rapidly.)
Proceed with “Programming” step 4 to
complete.
Operating the HomeLink System
Press the programmed HomeLink button
to operate a programmed device. The
code will continue being transmitted for a
maximum of 20 seconds.
Reprogramming the HomeLink system
To program a device to HomeLink using
a HomeLink button previously trained,
follow these steps:

1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink
button. DO NOT release the button.
2. The indicator light will begin to fl ash
after 20 seconds. Without releasing
the HomeLink button, proceed with
“Programming” - step 1.

Erasing Programmed HomeLink Buttons
To erase the existing programming from
all three operating channels, press and
hold the two outside buttons (
, ) on
the auto-dimming mirror until the
HomeLink indicator light begins to fl ash
after approximately 10 seconds.
Verify that the programming has been
erased when you resell the vehicle.
