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 opener with any of the following:

l

The Hand-Held Remote Control: Hold the large push button down until the door starts to move.

l

The Wall-Mounted Door Control: Hold the push button or bar down until the door starts to move.

l

The Keyless Entry (See Accessories): If provided with your garage door opener, it must be
programmed before use. See Programming.

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

1. If open, the door will close. If closed, it will open.
2. If closing, the door will reverse.
3. If opening, the door will stop.
4. If the door has been stopped in a partially open position, it will close.
5. If obstructed while closing, the door will reverse. If the obstruction interrupts the sensor beam, the

opener lights will blink for five seconds.

6. If obstructed while opening, the door will stop.
7. 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 opener light

will turn on under the following conditions: when the opener is initially plugged in; when

power is restored after interruption; when the opener is activated.

They will turn off automatically after 4-1/2 minutes. Bulb size is A19. Bulb power is 100 watts maximum.

light feature:

Lights will also turn on when someone walks through the open garage door.

With a Multi-Function Door Control, this feature may be turned off as follows: With the opener lights off,
press and hold the light button for 10 seconds, until the light goes on, then off again. To restore this
feature, start with the opener lights on, then press and hold the light button for 10 seconds until the light
goes off, then on again.

Using the Wall-Mounted Door Control

The Multi-Function Door Control

Press the push bar/push button to open or close the door. Press again to reverse the door during the
closing cycle or to stop the door while it’s opening.

Light Feature

Press the Light button to turn the opener light on or off. It will not control the opener lights when the door
is in motion. If you turn it on and then activate the opener, the light will remain on for 4-1/2 minutes. Press
again to turn it off sooner. The 4-1/2 minute interval can be changed to 1-1/2, 2-1/2, or 3-1/2 minutes as
follows:

1. Press and hold the Lock button until the light blinks (about 10 seconds). A single blink indicates

that the timer is reset to 1-1/2 minutes.

2. Repeat the procedure and the light will blink twice, resetting the timer to 2-1/2 minutes.
3. Repeat again for a 3-1/2 minute interval, etc., up to a maximum of four blinks and 4-1/2 minutes.

Lock Feature

Designed to prevent operation of the door from handheld remote controls. However, the door will open
and close from the Door Control, the Outside Keylock and the Keyless Entry Accessories.
To activate, press and hold the Lock button for 2 seconds. The push bar light will flash as long as the Lock
feature is on.
To turn off, press and hold the Lock button again for 2 seconds. The push bar light will stop flashing. The
Lock feature will also turn off whenever the “Learn” button on the motor unit panel is activated.
