Setup and Programming Instructions

Follow these steps to program your LAWOHO 893Max remote with your garage door opener.

Step 1: Identify Your Garage Opener's Learn Button Color

Locate the "LEARN" button on your garage door opener motor unit. You may need a stepladder to access the motor unit and remove any cover. Note the color of this button (Purple, Yellow, Red, Orange, or Green).

Step 2: Check and Change the Remote's LED Working Mode

The remote has two working modes, indicated by the LED flash pattern:

• Working Mode 1 (LED lights up 1 time, solid): For Purple, Red, or Orange learn buttons.
• Working Mode 2 (LED lights up 2 times, flashing): For Yellow or Green learn buttons.

To check the current mode, press any button on the remote and observe the LED. If the current LED working mode does not match your opener's learn button color, follow these steps to change it:

1. Press the up button and the down button on the remote simultaneously. The LED will flash. Release both buttons.
2. Press and hold the specific button on the remote that you wish to program. The LED will then light up 1 time (solid) or 2 times (flashing), indicating the new working mode. Release the button.

Step 3: Program with Your Garage Door Opener Receiver

1. Press and immediately release the "LEARN" button on your garage door opener motor unit. The learn indicator light on the motor unit will glow steadily for approximately 30 seconds.
2. Within these 30 seconds, press and hold the desired button on your LAWOHO remote. Continue holding until the light on your garage door opener flashes or you hear two clicks. This indicates successful programming.

Test the remote by pressing the programmed button. The garage door should operate.

Operation

Once programmed, simply press the corresponding button on your LAWOHO remote to open or close your garage door. The remote offers a range of 100-150 feet for convenient operation.

Note: The buttons on this compact remote are sensitive. Exercise caution when carrying it in pockets or bags with other items to prevent unintentional activation of your garage door.

Maintenance

Battery Replacement

The remote uses one CR2032 3V battery. If the remote's LED indicator does not light up or the range decreases significantly, it may be time to replace the battery.

1. Carefully open the remote casing.
2. Remove the old CR2032 battery.
3. Insert a new CR2032 battery with the positive (+) side facing up.
4. Close the remote casing securely.

Troubleshooting

• Remote not working after programming:
  • Ensure the remote's LED working mode (Step 2) matches your garage opener's learn button color.
  • Verify that the learn button on the motor unit was pressed and released correctly, and that the indicator light was steady before programming the remote.
  • Check the remote's battery. Replace if necessary.
  • Repeat the programming steps carefully.
• Reduced operating range:
  • Replace the remote's battery.
  • Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the garage door opener.
  • Check for sources of radio interference in the area.
• Garage door opens/closes unexpectedly:
  • This may occur if the remote buttons are accidentally pressed while in a pocket or bag. Consider using the included bracket to mount the remote in a secure location or store it where buttons are less likely to be pressed inadvertently.
