Setup and Programming
Before using your new remote control, it must be programmed to your garage door opener or gate operator. Ensure your opener has a YELLOW programming button for compatibility.
Programming Steps:
- Locate the "Learn" button on your garage door opener. This button is typically yellow and located on the back or side panel of the motor unit.
- Press and immediately release the "Learn" button. The learn indicator light will glow steadily for 30 seconds.
- Within 30 seconds, press and hold the button on your 893LM remote control that you wish to use to operate your garage door.
- Release the remote control button when the garage door opener lights flash or two clicks are heard. This indicates that the remote control has been successfully programmed.
- Test the remote control by pressing the programmed button. The garage door should activate.
If you are programming to a gate operator or MyQ®-enabled lighting accessory, refer to their specific manuals for programming instructions, as the process may vary slightly.
