DIY Made Easy: Installing Your LiftMaster 373LM Remote

Got your hands on the LiftMaster 373LM and ready to get it up and running? No sweat! I'll walk you through the setup so you can start using your new remote in a jiffy.

Locate the Smart/Learn Button

First things first, let's locate the 'Smart/Learn' button on your garage door opener. It's usually on the back of the unit. Look for a purple button – that's your target!

Programming Your Remote

Press and immediately release the 'Smart/Learn' button. You'll see an LED light up – that means it's ready to learn. Now, press the button on your remote that you wish to use. Hold it down until you see the opener lights blink or hear two clicks. That's the sign of a successful handshake between your remote and opener.

Testing Your Remote

Now for the moment of truth. Press the programmed button on your remote and watch your garage door respond. If it opens or closes smoothly, congratulations – you're all set!

Troubleshooting Tips

If things don't go as planned, don't fret. Double-check that you're in range, the opener's antenna is not obstructed, and that your remote's battery is fresh. Sometimes it's the little things that make all the difference.
