the self test and calibrations. Before 
powering the WAND make sure 
there are no moving metal objects or 
moving vehicles within range of the 
WAND.

Step 15:

  Connect the DOUBLE SPADE CON-

NECTORS to the battery terminals (RED WIRES to

to NEGATIVE (–) battery terminal). Wait 60 seconds. 
Turn the opener on and test the WAND.

NOTE:

 

If you have other accessories connected to your 

battery with double spade connectors you may need 
to connect a double spade connector to a double spade 
connector in order to 
connect all the acces-
sories.
