Programming your Chamberlain Liftmaster remotes and keypads can seem daunting at first, but with the proper instructions, you can confidently set up your device. Below, you will find detailed steps for models 1000, 2000, 1200, 2100, and more, covering all devices manufactured from 1993 to present.
Handheld Remote Programming
To begin, locate the learn button on your garage door opener. This button is typically square and may be one of several colors—green, orange, red, purple—or a round yellow button on newer models with myQ Technology. In the event of a lost or stolen remote, you can erase all programmed devices. Hold the learn button until the LED light goes out, which should take about 6 seconds.
Step-by-step Remote Pairing
After erasing old codes, press and hold the learn button again until the LED light comes on. If your remote has one button, hold that button down until the LED light goes out; this will notify you that the opener has accepted the code (the opener will also flash its lights). For remotes with multiple buttons, repeat this process for each button. Remember, if you erase the old codes, you must reprogram any remaining remotes.
Keyless Entry Programming
Next, let’s discuss programming your keyless entry keypad for Chamberlain Liftmaster and Craftsman openers, also dated from 1993 to the present. Just as with the handheld remotes, you’ll need to find the learn button on your garage door opener.
Choosing Your Four-Digit Code
Select a four-digit code that is easy for you and your family to remember, but avoid using easily guessable information like your address. Once you finalize your code, you are ready to continue with the programming process.
Step-by-step Keypad Setup
Press the learn button once; you will then have about 30 seconds to move to the keypad. Enter your four-digit code and hold the ENTER button until you hear the opener click and see its lights flash. This indicates that the programming was successful.
Final Checks
Once you have programmed both the remote and the keypad, it’s a good idea to test the functionality of both devices. If either does not work, double-check to ensure that you followed the steps accurately. By following these instructions diligently, you can ensure smooth operation of your Chamberlain Liftmaster devices.
