To fix a jammed ATA HiRO GDO-12 door with a stuck blue "close" button and manual release:

1. Disengage the Opener: Pull the manual release string handle down until you hear a click. This disengages the opener, allowing manual operation.
2. Check Drive Gear Movement: Move the drive forks from side to side by hand to ensure the drive gear rotates freely.
3. Re-Engage the Opener: Slide the opener back into position, ensuring the internal gear is pushed in fully without obstructing the door curtain.
4. Secure the Opener: Tighten the supplied nuts on the clamp assembly evenly to 40Nm torque.
5. Reset the System: Reconnect power but do not switch it on immediately. Secure the power cord away from moving parts.
6. Test Operation: If the blue "close" button remains stuck, try recoding the remote by following the transmitter coding procedure:
- Press the MODE button to highlight the CODE LED.
- Press the OPEN or CLOSE button until all indicator LEDs are on.
- Hold the STOP/SET button to enter code set mode.
- Press the transmitter button for 2 seconds, release, then repeat.
- Release the STOP/SET button.
7. Check for Obstructions: Ensure nothing is blocking the door path that could be causing the jam.
8. Consult a Technician: If the issue persists, seek professional assistance.

The ATA HiRO GDO-12 door beeps once and stops closing when the open button is pressed because the door is obstructed when closing. According to the manual, when the door encounters an obstruction while closing, the CLOSE LED flashes, and the door will stop moving.
