(or a 2x4 laid flat) on the floor. Failure to adjust the garage 
door opener properly may cause SEVERE INJURY or 
DEATH.

when required and could result in SEVERE INJURY or 
DEATH.

hardware, ALL of which are under EXTREME tension, 
MUST be made by a trained door systems technician.

Your Security

®

 garage door opener 

and hand-held remote control have 
been factory-set to a matching code 
which changes with each use, randomly 
accessing over 100 billion new codes. Your 
garage door opener will operate with up 
to eight Security

®

 remote controls and 

one Security

®

 Keyless Entry System. 

If you purchase a new remote, or if you 
wish to deactivate any remote, follow the 
instructions in the 

Programming

 section.

Activate your garage door opener with any 
of the following:

•  

The hand-held Remote Control:

 Hold the 

large push button down until the door 
starts to move.

•  

The wall-mounted Door Control:

 Hold the 

push button or bar down until the door 
starts to move.

•  

The Keyless Entry (See Accessories): 

If 

provided with your garage door opener, 
it must be programmed before use. See 
Programming.

When the garage door opener is activated 
(with the safety reversing sensor correctly 
installed and aligned).

•   If open, the door will close. If closed, it 

will open.

•   If closing, the door will reverse.

•   If opening, the door will stop.

•   If the door has been stopped in a partially 

open position, it will close.

•   If obstructed while closing, the door will 

reverse. If the obstruction interrupts the 
sensor beam, the garage door opener 
lights will blink for fi ve seconds.

•   If obstructed while opening, the door

will stop.

•   If fully open, the door will not close when 

the beam is broken. The sensor has no 
effect in the opening cycle.

If the sensor is not installed, or is 
misaligned, the door won’t close from a
hand-held remote. However, you can close 
the door with the Door Control, the Outside 
Keylock, or Keyless Entry, 

if you activate 

them until down travel is complete

. If 

you release them too soon, the door will 
reverse. 

The garage door opener lights

 will turn on 

when the garage door opener is activated. 
They will turn off automatically after 4-1/2 
minutes or provide constant light when the 
Light feature on the Smart Control Panel

®

 

is activated. Bulb size is A19. Bulb power is 
100 watts maximum.

Security

®

 light feature:

off, press and hold the light button for 10 
seconds, until the light goes on, then off
