5.0 out of 5 stars Works with Orange Learn Button, July 22, 2008

Here's a very important piece of information that's missing in Amazon's description:

The Liftmaster 970LM is compatible only with garage door openers with an orange learn button and SECURITY+ logo. If you have purple learn button, then buy the Liftmaster 370LM instead, which operates at 315Mhz instead of 390Mhz.

Mine works great. Comes with instruction, battery and velcro. Programming is easy, just press the orange learn button, release it quickly, then press the center button on the remote, release it quickly, see confirmation light flashes or hear click click sound near the learn button. That's it. (Don't hold the learn button for more than 6 seconds, as it will clear all codes and make your other remotes useless.)

I have a detached garage. It used to be a hassle to carry the remote with me everywhere I go. Now I can just add this to my keychain and never have to think about it anymore. I didn't want to put the original remote (visor clip on type) inside my pocket, because it's large and a little pressure can push the button down accidentally which might close/open the garage door at unexpected time, causing injuries for my little baby running around. Now I have one hand free for holding my baby's hand or carring groceries.

5.0 out of 5 stars works with old model motor unit, June 18, 2008

Although it says it only works with a receiver that have a 'learn button', it actually works with older models that doesn't have a learn button. Thanks to the quick response from the seller, I was able to set it up and use it after getting assistance from the seller within half an hour in the evening. It turns out there is a 'smart button' inside the receiver. I actually needed to open the receiver up. But it works great and I would have to say: excellent customer service. Just make sure your receiver model is on the list described along with this product and you are good to go.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Product, But Short Range, January 30, 2007

This garage door opener is easy to program, works well, and easily attaches to a key chain. The only criticism is that it has a relatively short range, in my experience about 50 feet. Otherwise, a great product.
