O.S.C. control button.
• Transmitter: hold the button down until the door
starts to move.

opens the door using a four digit keycode.

open.
• If closing, the door will stop.
• If opening, the door will stop (allowing space for
entry and exit of pets and for ventilation).

closed position, it will reverse direction.

door will reverse to the fully open position.

children or pets.
