Overview

The MyQ® Control Panel offers a quick and convenient way to add Security+ 2.0™ and MyQ® technology to your existing garage door opener.

5. Mount the MyQ® Control Panel to the wall.
6. Reconnect power. The yellow command LED and red learn LED will blink quickly for up to 5 minutes as the control panel recharges. The yellow command LED will glow steadily when operational.

Functions

Push Bar:

Press the push bar to open/close the door.

Lights:

Press the LIGHT button to turn the garage door opener lights on or off. The lights will stay on until the LIGHT button is pressed again or the garage door opener is activated. The LIGHT button does not control the lights when the door is in motion.

To change the light duration:

Press and hold the LOCK button until the garage door opener lights flash. The time interval is indicated by the number of flashes (1 flash = 1.5 minutes, 2 flashes = 2.5 minutes, 3 flashes = 3.5 minutes, 4 flashes = 4.5 minutes).

Motion Sensor:

This feature automatically turns on the garage door opener lights when motion is sensed. The lights will come on for the set period of time, then shut off. Activate/Deactivate: Slide the motion sensor switch ON or OFF.

Timer-to-Close (TTC):

The TTC feature automatically closes the door after a specified time period (1, 5, or 10 minutes). The TTC LED for the selected interval will blink, and the garage door opener lights will flash before closing. The TTC will deactivate if the garage door encounters an obstruction twice, or if the safety reversing sensors are incorrectly installed. The door will reverse open and will not close until obstructions are cleared or sensors are correctly installed. Activate: Press and hold the ON button until one of the TTC LEDs lights up. Press ON again to cycle through time intervals. Deactivate: Press and hold the OFF button until all TTC LEDs turn off and a beep is heard.

Temporarily hold door open (suspend TTC): Press and release the HOLD OPEN button. Press it again to resume normal TTC operation.

LOCK:

Activate: Press and hold the LOCK button for 2 seconds. The command LED will flash while the lock feature is active, and your handheld remote control will not operate the door. Deactivate: Press and hold the LOCK button for 2 seconds. The command LED will stop flashing, and normal operation will resume. Your LiftMaster® keypad will continue to work when LOCK is activated.

Troubleshooting

• If the yellow command LED does not turn on, reverse the wires connected to the R and W terminals of the control panel. Replace wire if necessary.
• If yellow and red LEDs are blinking slowly, the control panel is not compatible with your garage door opener.
• If yellow and red LEDs are blinking quickly, the control panel is charging and may take up to 5 minutes to become operational.
