SAFETY CAUTION
Prior to installing the Keyless Entry System, be certain to disconnect
the electrical power to the garage door opener. Most garage door
openers feature a manual release device. Since automatic operation
of the door will not be possible after power is disconnected, we
suggest you disengage the opener per the manufacturer's
instructions. This will allow manual operation of the garage door
during installation of the Keyless Entry System.
