INFRARED PROTECTION FUNCTION

1. The Safe-T-Beam has no effect on the door during an opening cycle.
®
2. If the Safe-T-Beam detects an obstruction when trying to close the
®
door, it will not allow the door to close.
3. When the garage door is closing, if Safe-T-Beam
a person or obstacle, the garage door will stop its downward travel
and reverse automatically to its fully opened position.
4. If the Safe-T-Beam System fails, loses power, or is installed
®
improperly, press and hold the wall console "open/close" button
until the door reaches its fully closed position. If you release the
"open/close" button on the wall console during the closing
