Using Your Garage Door Opener

Your Security+® 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 eight Security+® remote controls and one
Security+® Keyless Entry System. If you purchase a
new remote, or if you wish to deactivate any remote,

follow the instructions in the Programming

section.

Activate your opener with any of the foiiowing:

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 provided

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 compiete.

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.

Bulb size is 75 watts maximum.
