Limit and Force Adjustments:
These adjustments must be checked and properly set when opener is installed. Only a screwdriver is
required.

of operation.

repeat the safety reverse test after any adjustment.

The portable remote control may be secured to a car sun visor with the clip provided. Additional remotes can be
purchased at any time for use in all vehicles using garage. Refer to Accessories. Any new remotes must be set to the same code as the original

The lithium batteries should produce power for up to 5 years. When the light becomes dim or does not come on, replace
the battery. If transmission range lessens, check the battery test light.

HAVING A PROBLEM?
1. Opener doesn't operate from either door control or remote:
• Does the opener have electric power? Plug lamp into outlet. If it doesn't light, check the fuse box or the circuit breaker. (Some outlets are controlled
by a wall switch.)
• Have you disengaged all door locks? Review installation instruction warnings on page 1.
• Is there a build-up of ice or snow under door? The door may be frozen to ground. Remove any obstruction.
• The garage door spring may be broken. Have it replaced.
• Repeated operation may have tripped the overload protector in the motor. Wait 15 minutes. Try again.
2. Opener operates from remote but not from door control:
• Is door control button lit? If not, remove the bell wire from the opener terminals. Short the red and white terminals by touching both terminals at the
same time with a piece of wire. If the opener runs, check for a faulty wire connection at the door control, a short under the staples, or a broken wire.
• Are wiring connections correct? Review page 10.
3. Door operates from door control but not from remote:
• Check battery. Replace battery if necessary.
• Is the light at the wall control flashing? Press button with key-symbol to unlock the opener against remote controls.
• Is the receiver LED flashing at the back-side of the opener when the transmitter is pressed? The opener receiver must re-learn the remote control
code. Follow the instructions on page 4.
• If you purchased a new remote control then check at carton of remote control for compatibility or call the Service Hotline.
4. Remote has short range:
• Is battery installed? If needed, change the battery.
• Change the location of the remote control on the car.
• A metal garage door, foil-backed insulation or metal siding will reduce the transmission range.
• Use outside coaxial antenna adapter to move antenna.
5. Door reverses for no apparent reason and opener light doesn't blink:
• Is something obstructing the door? Pull manual release handle. Operate door manually. If it is unbalanced or binding, call for professional garage
door service.
• Clear any ice or snow from garage floor area where garage door closes.
• Review
Force Settings
. Open and close the door in learn mode for several (3-5) consecutive cycles to allow the operator to adjust to inconsistent
doors.
• If door reverses in FULLY CLOSED position, re-learn travel limits.
Repeat safety reverse test after adjustment is complete.
The need for occasional adjustment of the force and limit settings is normal. Weather conditions in particular can affect door travel.
