Using Your Garage Door Opener
Your opener and hand-held remote control have been
factory-set to a matching code to operate with the
large push button. Your opener will operate with as
many as four “SRT" (Smart Receiver/Transmitter)
hand-held remote controls and one Multi-function
Keyless Entry. However, you can use either of the
two small buttons, if you prefer. And, the 3-function
remote control can also activate additional garage
door openers and/or light controls. 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 following:
• 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 down until the door starts to move.
• The Keyless Entry (See Accessories^.' If supplied
with your garage door opener, it must be
programmed before use. See Programming.

reversing sensor correctly installed and aligned)

3. If opening, the door will stop.
4. If the door has been stopped in a partially open
position, it will close.
