Using the MyLifter App 

The MyLifter app is paired with your MyLifter unit using a Bluetooth® connection. Be sure 
to enable your mobile device’s Bluetooth capabilities before attempting to pair with your 
lifter. 

1.

 

Download the MyLifter app from the App Store or Google Play. 

2.

 

Open the app and tap Add Devices in the bottom right corner to open the 
Available Lifters screen.  
 
This screen displays a list of all lifters within range of your Bluetooth 
communications. If you do not see any available lifters, make sure you have plugged 
in the power cable to the nearest outlet. 
 
On the MyLifter unit, you should see a slow blinking yellow Status light. 
 

3.

 

Firmly press the Pair button next to the Status light. 
 

 

 
When the Status light blinks green, the lifter is paired with your app. 
 
On the Available Lifters screen, your newly paired lifter displays with its MAC 
address (media access control address) as its default name.
