Mazda 3 Owners Manual: 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:
- Disconnect power to the device being programmed.
- 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.
- Simultaneously press and hold both the chosen HomeLink and hand-held transmitter buttons. Do not release the buttons until step 3 has been completed.
NOTE Some gate operators and garage door openers may require you to replace this Programming Step 2 with procedures noted in the “Gate Operator/Canadian Programming” section.
- After the HomeLink indicator light changes from a slow to a rapidly blinking light, release both the HomeLink and hand-held transmitter buttons.
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.
- Connect power to the device being programmed.
- Firmly press and hold the programmed
HomeLink button for five seconds,
and then release it. Perform this
operation two times to activate the door
or gate. If the door or gate does not
activate, 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.
NOTE To program the remaining two HomeLink buttons, begin with “Programming” — step 1
If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns to a constant light, continue with “Programming” steps 7—9 to complete the programming of a rolling code equipped device (most commonly a garage door opener).
- 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 motorhead unit.
- Firmly press and release the “learn” or “smart” button. (The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer.)
NOTE Complete the programming within 30 seconds.
- 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.
NOTE To program the remaining two HomeLink buttons, begin with “Programming” — step 1
