Setting Up the Opener

First, you need to set up your garage door opener to accept the code from your keypad. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Locate the “Learn” button on your garage door opener. It is usually located near the antenna wire.
  2. Press and release the “Learn” button. The LED light on the opener will start flashing.
  3. Within 30 seconds, press and hold the button on your remote control that you want to use to operate the garage door. Release the button when the LED light on the opener stops flashing.

Entering the Code

Now that your garage door opener is ready to accept the code from your keypad, it’s time to program the keypad. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Locate the “Program” button on the back of your keypad.
  2. Press and hold the “Program” button until the LED light on the keypad starts flashing.
  3. Enter your four-digit code on the keypad.
  4. Press and hold the “Enter” button until the LED light on the keypad stops flashing.

Testing the Keypad

After programming your LiftMaster garage door keypad, it’s essential to test it to ensure that it’s working correctly. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Stand outside your garage door and enter your four-digit code on the keypad.
  2. The garage door should open or close, depending on its current position.
  3. If the garage door does not open or close, check the code and repeat the programming process.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Even after following the programming process, you may encounter some common issues with your LiftMaster garage door keypad. Here are some troubleshooting tips:

  • If the keypad’s LED light is not flashing, replace the batteries.
  • If the keypad’s LED light is flashing but the garage door is not opening or closing, check that the code is correct and that the opener has been properly programmed to accept the code.
  • If the keypad is not responding at all, check that it’s within range of the garage door opener and that there are no obstructions interfering with the signal.
