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.

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.

obstruction interrupts the sensor beam, the opener
lights will blink for fi ve seconds.

7. If fully open, the door will not close when the beam is

broken. The sensor has no effect in the opening cycle.

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

reverse.
