To reduce the risk of severe injury or death:

Using Your Garage Door Opener

Your Security

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 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 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 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 lights

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 or
provide constant light when the Light feature on the
Multi-Function Door Control is activated. Bulb size is
100 watts maximum.

Security

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.
