Keyless Entry System. If you purchase a new

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 supplied
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
75 watts maximum.
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.
