How to Program Remotes
Programming the remotes for your Raynor Pilot II garage door opener is a straightforward process. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Locate the “Learn” button on the garage door opener unit by pulling down the light cover on the opener.
- Locate the PROGRAM button on the remote control. On the 893MAX Remote you will find the button on the back of the remote (in the middle).
- To enter programming mode, use the visor clip to press the PROGRAM button on the back of the remote until the LED on the front of the remote comes on.
- Press and release the “Learn” button on the garage door opener. The “Learn” button LED light will come on.
- Within 30 seconds, press and release the button on the remote control that you wish to program. Watch for the light bulb on the garage door opener to blink. Once it blinks do not press the remote button again as it has now been programmed.
- Exit the programming mode by pressing one of the other two remote buttons that you didn’t program.
- Test the remote by pressing the remote button that was just programmed.
- Repeat the above steps for each 893MAX or 890MAX remote that you wish to program to the operator.
Programming Car Homelink to Garage Door Opener
Homelink compatible version 4.0 or higher. It may require a Liftmaster 855LM Homelink Compatibility Bridge depending on the model and year of the vehicle.
Below are some general programming instructions that may work with your vehicle. Different makes of vehicles can have slightly different instructions. If the instructions below don’t work then we suggest that you go to the Homelink website for more specific instructions. You can enter your make and model of vehicle along with the make and model of garage door opener for directions specifically for your vehicle.
- For first time training, press and hold the two outer HomeLink® buttons, releasing only when the HomeLink indicator light begins to flash after 20 seconds. (Do not perform this step when training the additional HomeLink buttons.)
- Position the hand-held transmitter 1-3 inches away from the HomeLink surface (usually located on your visor, overhead console, or mirror), keeping the HomeLink indicator light in view.
- Using both hands, simultaneously press and hold both the desired HomeLink button and hand held transmitter button. DO NOT release until the HomeLink indicator light flashes slowly and then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes rapidly, both buttons may be released. (The rapid flashing indicates successful training.)
- Press and hold the trained HomeLink button and observe the indicator light.
- If the indicator light is solid/continuous, training is complete and your device should activate when the HomeLink button is pressed and released.
- If the indicator light blinks rapidly for 2 seconds and then turns a solid/continuous light, proceed with the following training instructions for a rolling code device. A second person may make the following steps quicker and easier. Please use a ladder or other device. Do not stand on your vehicle to perform the next steps.
- At the receiver (motor head unit), locate the “learn” or “smart” button (usually near where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the unit). If there is difficulty locating the training button, reference the device owner’s manual.
- Press and release the “learn” or “smart” button (the name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer). NOTE: Once the button is pressed, there are 30 seconds in which to initiate the next step.
- Return to the vehicle and firmly press and hold the trained HomeLink button for two seconds and release. Repeat the “press/hold/release” sequence up to 3 times to complete the training process.
