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 www.homelink.com or www.youtube.com/HomeLinkGentex 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.
Pre-programming the HomeLink System
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.
Reprogramming the HomeLink system
To program a device to HomeLink using a HomeLink button previously trained, follow these steps:
-
Press and hold the desired HomeLink button. DO NOT release the button.
-
After 20 seconds, the indicator light flashes in amber. After the indicator light flashes, release the HomeLink button.
-
Go back to Step 2 of Programming the HomeLink System to complete the procedure.
If the programming has not been completed, the system returns to the previous programming.
Garage Door Two-Way Communication
The garage door two-way communication is a function that communicates with the garage door opener and indicates whether the garages door is open or closed using the indicator lights in the rear view mirror. It can indicate the status of the garage door within a range up-to 250 m (820 ft).
Programming two-way communication
Within five seconds after programming a new HomeLink button, both of the garage door status indicator lights will flash rapidly in green indicating that the garage door two-way communication has been established. If the garage door status indicator lights flash, the two-way communication programming is complete.
If the garage door status indicator lights do not flash, the two-way communication programming is not completed. For additional HomeLink information and programming videos, refer to the following Websites:
