LIFTMASTER 890MAX PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS

- Press and release the button on the remote: Within 30 seconds of entering programming mode, press and hold the button you wish to program on the Liftmaster Remote 890MAX. The indicator light on the motor unit should flash to indicate it is ready to receive the remote’s code.
- Transmit the code: Hold the Liftmaster Remote 890MAX close to the motor unit and press and release the programmed button on the remote. The indicator light on the motor unit should flash or blink, indicating the remote’s code has been successfully programmed.
- Test the remote: Stand within range of the garage door opener and press the programmed button on the remote. The door should open or close in response to the remote’s signal.
- Repeat for additional remotes (optional): If you have additional Liftmaster Remote 890MAX remotes that you want to program, repeat steps 4 to 6 for each remote.
After completing these steps, your Liftmaster Remote 890MAX should be successfully programmed and ready to use with your garage door opener.
