OPERATION
Using Your Garage Door Opener
Your S
®
opener and hand-held remote control have been
factory-set to a matching code which changes with each use,
randomly accessing over 100 billion new codes. Your opener will
operate with up to fifty-four S
®
remote controls and one
S
®
Keyless Entry System. If you purchase a new remote,
or if you wish to deactivate any remote, follow the instructions in
the

•
The hand-held Remote Control:
Hold the push button down
until the door starts to move.

Programming.
When the opener is activated
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.
6. If obstructed while opening, the door will stop.
7. The optional Protector System
®
uses an invisible beam, which,
when broken by an obstruction, causes a closing door to open
and prevents an open door from closing. It is STRONGLY
RECOMMENDED for homeowners with young children.
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 A19. Bulb
power is 100 watts maximum.
Timer to close feature (ONLY available when optional Protector
System
®
is installed):
The door can be programmed to close the
door automatically in 10 seconds, 45 seconds, 2 minutes or 3
minutes.
The Timer to close feature is preset to the off position from the
factory. To activate this feature, press and hold the Lock button on
the Multi-Function Door Control until the opener light blinks once
(about 10 seconds). A single blink indicates that the timer is reset
to 10 seconds. Repeat the procedure and the light will blink twice,
resetting the timer to 45 seconds. Repeat again for a 2 minute
interval, etc., up to a maximum of four blinks and 3 minutes.
To deactivate, set the timer to 3 minutes. Press and hold the Lock
button on the Multi-Function Door Control again for 10 seconds.
The opener light will blink 5 times. This feature is now
deactivated.
