Lift-master 974LM User Manual

Model 974LM Security✚®4 Button Remote Control

OWNER'S MANUAL

The 974LM remote control can activate four separate residential or commercial garage door openers and/or gate openers. The instructions for programming garage door openers are illustrated below. Please refer to the original receiver programming for commercial and gate products.

All four push buttons work with Security✚®receivers having an orange “learn” button. The rolling code between these channels and the receiver changes with each use, randomly accessing over 100 billion new codes.

As an added feature, the 4th push button is capable of learning or being trained to duplicate or match another CGI manufactured fixed code or billion-code remote. This feature is normally used when several remotes are required to operate one fixed code device such as a gate opener or commercial dock door. In this case, the code transmitted to the receiver remains constant or fixed, not using the Security✚®format.

1.Press and release the “learn” button on the motor unit. The learn indicator light will glow steadily for 30 seconds.

2. Within 30 seconds, press and hold the button on the hand-held remote that you wish to operate your garage door.

3. Release the button when the motor unit lights blink. It has learned the code. If light bulbs are not installed, two clicks will be heard.

Instructions are described and illustrated below.

To deactivate any unwanted remote, first erase all codes: Press and the hold “learn” button on motor

unit until the learn indicator light goes out (approximately 6 seconds). All previous codes are now erased. Reprogram each remote or keyless entry you wish to use.

To Erase All Codes From Motor Unit Memory

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a moving gate or garage door:

• ALWAYS keep remote controls out of reach of children. NEVER permit children to operate, or play with remote control transmitters.

• Activate gate or door ONLY when it can be seen clearly, is properly adjusted, and there are no obstructions to door travel.

• ALWAYS keep gate or garage door in sight until completely closed. NEVER permit anyone to cross path of moving gate or door.

WARNING

1. Begin by having both the 974LM and Remote Control X available.

2. Press and hold the 1st and 4th push buttons on the 974LM until the yellow indicator light, visible on the bottom through a small hole, begins to blink. It will blink for 30 seconds; during this time it is in the learn or training mode, and the buttons can be released.

3. While it is in learn mode, hold Remote Control X, another CGI fixed or billioncode transmitter, back to back with FCC labels touching as illustrated.

4. Press and hold the Remote Control X push button as you slowly slide the remotes across each other until the 974LM indicator light blinks very rapidly, indicating it has learned the code. (If Remote Control X is also a 974LM, you must press and hold its 4th push button.)

5. The 4th button is now sending the same identical coded signal as Remote Control X. This code will remain inside the 974LM until replaced with another new code by repeating steps 1-4 above, or by resetting to Security✚®.
