SAVETHESEINSTRUCTIONS.
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 ten Security+ ®
remote controls, one Security+ ® Keyless Entry System,
and one accessory wall control. 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 control console: 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 control console, the Outdoor Key
Switch, or Keyless Entry, if you activate them until down
travel is complete. 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 or
provide constant light when the Light feature on the
Control Console is activated. Bulb size is 100 watts
maximum.
Security,I _ light feature: Lights will also turn on when
someone walks through the open garage door. With a
Motion Detecting Control Console, this feature may be
turned off as follows: With the opener lights off, press
and hold the light button for 10 seconds, until the light
goes on, then off again. To restore this feature, start with
the opener lights on, then press and hold the light button
for 10 seconds until the light goes off, then on again.
