For the most part, programming a Lift Master garage door opener is standard procedure. However, there are some exceptions, such as commercial door openers and Control Panels. Most LiftMaster garage door openers have “Learn” buttons and they are color coded to represent the type of signal. Lift Master garage door opener “Learn” buttons include: Yellow: Uses Security+ 2.0 technology Purple: Uses Security+ 315Mhz technology Red or Orange: Uses Security+ 390Mhz Rolling Code technology Green: Uses Billion Code technology No matter which color your learn button is, they all use the same programming instructions. But you have to make sure that you have the right remote for the signal. If it came with the opener, it will definitely be correct. Garage door Opener Programming Options There are basically two methods for programming your garage door opener remote, which is dependent upon the receiver you want to use. Both the garage door opener and the wired, external receiver have “Learn” buttons so programming the remote is not that complicated. Programming the Opener You can find the “Learn” button on the same side that the wired antenna protrudes from. It will be a square button with a light emitting diode (L.E.D.) next to it. For MyQ Control Panels, you have to lift the push bar to find the “Learn” button. Follow these steps to program a lift master garage door opener with the “Learn” technology: 1. Push the “Learn” button once. For MyQ Control Panels, you need to push it two times. 2. Press the desired button on the remote within 30 seconds and hold it down for at least 3 seconds. The L.E.D. light on the opener will go out. For some models, the safety lights on the opener blink instead of the L.E.D. going out. 3. Test it out by pressing the button again to see if it works. 4. If the remote’s button does not open the door, redo all steps again. If you have tried programming your opener several times to no avail, you will need a garage door opener repair technician. He will inspect your opener and determine the cause of the problem. Programming the Wired, External Receiver To program the remote to the external, wired receiver; you need to remove its cover, which may rap around the receiver. For some models, you will need to remove the face plate with a Flathead screwdriver to get to the “Learn” button. The button will have an L.E.D. indicator light next to it, just like the opener does. Follow these steps to program the wired, external receiver: 1. Push the “Learn” button once and release. 2. Press the button you want to use on the remote within 30 seconds and hold it for at least 3 seconds. The receiver will make a clicking sound to indicate successful programming. 3. Use the button you selected on your remote to test out the results. 4. If failure occurs, try the steps again. As you can see; to program a lift master garage door opener, you need nothing but a finger except for the MyQ Control Panels that require a screwdriver. “Learn” button technology saves time and does not require extensive programming steps to be followed. It’s simply a press, and test scenario. Nothing complicated to deal withEnjoy your remote. Now you can easily program your Lift Master garage door opener.
