Operation
Features
Your garage door opener is equipped with features to provide you with greater control over your
garage door operation.
ALERT2CLOSE
The Alert2Close feature provides a visual and an audible alert that an unattended door is closing.
TIMER-TO-CLOSE (TTC)
The TTC feature automatically closes the door after a specified time period that can be adjusted using
a TTC enabled door control (Models 881LMW or 880LMW). Prior to and during the door closing the
garage door opener lights will flash and the garage door opener will beep.
MYQ
myQ
®
allows you to control your garage door opener from your mobile device or computer from
anywhere. myQ
®
technology uses a 900Mhz signal to provide two way communication between the
garage door opener and myQ
®
enabled accessories.
The garage door opener has an internal gateway that allows the garage door opener to communicate
directly with a home Wi-Fi
®
network and access your myQ
®
account.
THE PROTECTOR SYSTEM
®
(SAFETY REVERSING SENSORS)
When properly connected and aligned, the safety reversing sensors will detect an obstruction in the
path of the infrared beam. If an obstruction breaks the infrared beam while the door is closing, the
door will stop and reverse to full open position, and the opener lights will flash 10 times. If the door
is fully open, and the safety reversing sensors are not installed, or are misaligned, the door will not
close from a remote control. However, you can close the door if you hold the button on the door
control or keyless entry until the door is fully closed. The safety reversing sensors do not affect the
opening cycle. For more information see page 22.
ENERGY CONSERVATION
For energy efficiency the garage door opener will enter sleep mode when the door is fully closed. The
sleep mode shuts the garage door opener down until activated. The sleep mode is sequenced with the
garage door opener light bulb; as the light bulb turns off the sensor LEDs will turn off and whenever
the garage door opener lights turn on the sensor LEDs will light. The garage door opener will not go
into the sleep mode until the garage door opener has completed 5 cycles upon power up.
LIGHTS
The garage door opener light bulbs will turn on when the opener is initially plugged in; power is
restored after interruption, or when the garage door opener is activated. The lights will turn off
automatically after 4-1/2 minutes. An incandescent A19 light bulb (100 watt maximum) or for
maximum energy efficiency a 26W (100W equivalent) compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulb may be
used.
Light Feature
The garage door opener is equipped with an added feature; the lights will turn on when someone
enters through the open garage door and the safety reversing sensor infrared beam is broken. For
added control over the light bulbs on your garage door opener, see page 37 or page 39.
USING YOUR GARAGE DOOR OPENER
The garage door opener can be activated through a wall-mounted door control, remote control,
wireless keyless entry or myQ
®
accessory.
When the door is closed and the garage door opener is activated the door will open. If the door makes
contact with an obstruction while opening, the door will stop, opener beeps and lights flash 5 times.
When the door is in any position other than closed and the garage door opener is activated, the door
will close. If the garage door makes contact with an obstruction while closing, the door will reverse,
opener beeps and lights flash 5 times. If the obstruction interrupts the sensor beam the garage door
opener lights will blink 10 times. However, you can close the door if you hold the button on the door
control or keyless entry until the door is fully closed.
The safety reversing sensors do not affect the opening cycle. The safety reversing sensor must be
connected and aligned correctly before the garage door opener will move in the down direction.
BATTERY BACKUP*
The battery backup system allows access in and out of your garage, even when the power is out.
When the garage door opener is operating on battery power, the garage door opener will run slower,
the light will not function, the Battery Status LED will glow solid orange, and a beep will sound
approximately every 2 seconds.
* If applicable.
