Set Up Your 971LM Liftmaster Remote: Quick Installation Guide

Hello there! Are you ready to set up your new 971LM Liftmaster remote? No worries, I've got you covered with these easy-to-follow steps. You'll have it working in no time!

Preparation

Before we start, ensure your garage door opener has a red, amber, or orange 'Learn' button and a gray antenna wire. Have your remote and a step ladder handy if needed.

Locating the Learn Button

Climb up safely and find the 'Learn' button on your garage door opener unit. This little button is the key to syncing your new remote.

Programming the Remote

Press and release the 'Learn' button. You'll have 30 seconds to complete the next step, so let's make it quick! Now, press the button on your remote you'd like to use. Hold it down until the opener's lights flash or you hear two clicks, indicating a successful program.

Testing the Remote

Give your remote a try. Press the programmed button to see if the garage door responds. If it opens or closes smoothly, you've done it right!

Troubleshooting

If the door doesn't budge, recheck the battery in the remote, ensure you're within range, and that the 'Learn' button isn't stuck. Still no luck? It might be time to consult the manual.
