To pair a LiftMaster garage door opener, follow these steps from Norcross Garage Door:

  1. Clear the Opener’s Memory:
    • Locate the “Learn” or “Smart” button on the back or side of the garage door opener motor unit. It’s usually near the antenna wire.
    • Press and hold the “Learn” or “Smart” button for about 6 seconds until the indicator light turns off. This clears the opener’s memory and prepares it for programming new devices.
  2. Prepare the Remote Control:
    • Ensure that the remote control you’re using is compatible with your LiftMaster garage door opener. You can check the manual or the manufacturer’s website for compatibility information.
    • Remove the cover of the remote control to access the battery compartment.
    • Insert a fresh battery into the remote control, making sure it’s properly oriented.
  3. Program the Remote Control:
    • Stand within range of the garage door opener, which is typically around 20-30 feet (6-9 meters) from the motor unit.
    • Press and release the “Learn” or “Smart” button on the motor unit. This should activate the indicator light.
    • Within 30 seconds of pressing the “Learn” or “Smart” button, press and hold the button on the remote control that you want to program. Keep holding it until you see the garage door opener lights flash or hear a click sound. This indicates that the programming was successful.
    • Release the button on the remote control. To confirm the programming, test the remote by pressing the programmed button. The garage door should open or close accordingly.
  4. Repeat for Additional Remote Controls:
    • If you have more than one remote control to program, repeat the above steps for each one. Remember to press and hold the button on the remote control within 30 seconds of pressing the “Learn” or “Smart” button on the motor unit.
  5. Test the Remote Controls:
    • Once you’ve finished programming all the remote controls, it’s essential to test each one to ensure they operate the garage door opener correctly.
    • Stand within the range of the opener and press the programmed button on each remote control. The garage door should respond by opening or closing.

It’s important to note that these instructions provide a general guideline for pairing a LiftMaster garage door opener with a remote control. The specific steps may vary depending on the model and features of your opener. For detailed and model-specific instructions, I recommend consulting the owner’s manual or visiting the LiftMaster website.

By following these steps from Norcross Garage Door, you should be able to successfully pair your LiftMaster garage door opener with the remote control, allowing you to conveniently operate your garage door.
